𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 𝗜 United People despite Nationality Difference

Have you ever wondered when the United Nations was founded and why it is held annually?

In recent years, we have annually celebrated the United Nations Day. Its purpose is to promote peace, security, and cooperation among its member states. Maintaining international peace, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, and upholding international law are its primary purposes. The United Nations was founded on October 24, 1945, and the Philippines was one of the original 51 founding members of the United Nations, joining on the day the UN Charter came into effect.

Last Wednesday, November 19, the covered court of Murcia NHS was filled with people of varying nationalities. Together with Sir Jero Mejado as the host of the program, supportive parents were seen around the area, supporting each of their children who represented different countries. Students from each grade level were picked to choose a nationality and incorporate their attire. Thus, they did not disappoint; each student proudly showcased their country of choice majestically, along with their minimal accent and broad smiles.

The Murcia NHS CAT troops also participated in the event. They performed at the beginning of the program, wearing their neat uniforms and executing their moves with precision, giving the audience a thrilling icebreaker and showcasing their solid moves. Before ending the program, several awards are presented, one of which is the Best in Costume, awarded to students who have gone to great lengths in incorporating their chosen country.

The event aims to encourage students to conform and develop good social customs. Respecting every country is significant, especially given their diverse cultures and ways of doing things. Events like these are being held to promote and support unity among its people. Proving that despite the difference in language, customs, and traditions, we still unite for peace and for the betterment of everyone.

Ipinamalas ng Murcia National High School ang kanilang abilidad at kahusayan sa larangan ng billiards laban sa iba’t ibang paaralan mula sa iba’t ibang distrito na ginanap kahapon, ika-3 ng Oktubre, sa Lucky Shots Billiards.

Sa kategoryang 8-Ball, bagama’t hindi pinalad na makamit ang kampeonato, patuloy na ipinakita ni Michael Galfo ang matatag na laban sa boys category matapos makapagtala ng score na 3–0 kontra sa Lopez Jaena NHS; sa girls category naman, ipinakita ni Jhazlin Simone Polistico ang kanyang husay sa score na 2–1 laban sa MOBCA, habang si Joeanne Marie Flores ay nagtala ng 2–0 na panalo laban sa parehong paaralan, at dahil sa kanyang mahusay na pagganap, si Flores ay nagwagi ng bronze medal sa nasabing kategorya.

Hindi rin nagpahuli ang MNHS sa 9-Ball category, muling ipinamalas ni Joeanne Marie Flores ang kanyang talento sa score na 2–1 kontra sa Minoyan NHS, habang si Jazlin Simone Polistico ay nagtagumpay sa score na 2–0 laban din sa parehong paaralan, at sa pagtatapos ng kompetisyon, parehong nakapag-uwi ng bronze medal sina Flores at Polistico, patunay na may kakayahan at galing ang distrito sa larangan ng billiards.

Sa isang panayam, tinanong si Flores kung ano ang kanyang nararamdaman pagkatapos makakuha ng bronze medal: “Just neutral in between good and bad, even if I know it’s the last time makahampang ko, but it is what it is,” aniya.

Ang mga tagumpay na ito ay nagpapakita ng dedikasyon at pagsisikap ng bawat manlalaro ng Murcia National High School; bagama’t natalo, hindi pa rin sumusuko ang mga manlalaro, patunay na ang tagumpay ay hindi tumitigil sa isang pagkabigo.
