ADAMazing Day to SHINE! โœจ๐ŸŠ

From the hush of deadlines to the rush of headlines, two brilliant editors of Team Ponkans are taking a well-deserved break from the press room today to celebrate another year of life.

Today, we celebrate not just two birthdays, but two passionate storytellers of Team Ponkans who continue to set an example for the Ramonian community through their voices, creativity, and commitment to upholding responsible journalismโ€”Shanelle Huqueriza and John Adam Clint Sampiano.

Keeping her story shining in 2026, the Most Outstanding Campus Journalist in Western Visayas is ready to step into another chapter of growth, courage, and becoming. As the Editor-in-Chief for Filipino, Shanelle continues to embrace every new beginning with confidence. She is not afraid to begin, not afraid to dream, and never afraid to shine in her own way.

Meanwhile, from the once timid kid who was afraid to unlock his full potential emerged Adamโ€”a true ace and a jack of all trades. We have watched him grow into someone who embraces opportunities and rises to every challenge. Carrying multiple validations on his shoulders, he has proven time and again just how ADAMazing he truly is. With his determination, talent, and drive, there is no doubt that he is well on his way to the top.

To Shine and Adam, thank you for leading the way and inspiring the next generation of Team Ponkans. Your stories, achievements, and passion remind us that campus journalism is not just about writing headlinesโ€”it is about finding one's voice, believing in one's potential, and inspiring others to do the same.

The future of campus journalism is brighter because of you.

Keep shining, Shine. Keep being amazing, Adam. Happy birthday to you both! ๐ŸŽ‰

โ€œIf you were given only โ‚ฑ1,000 to start a small business, what product could you create and sell profitablyโ€”and how can mathematics prove that your idea is viable?โ€

This question set the stage for PUHUNAN 2026: The โ‚ฑ1,000 Student Business Pitch Challenge, an integrative final-term performance task for Grade 11 learners taking General Mathematics at Ramon A. Benjamin Sr. National High School on Aug. 26.

The challenge was conceptualized and brought to life by Dr. Philip Jayson Falcis, who handles Grade 11 General Mathematics classes under the Strengthened Senior High School Curriculum.

โ€œThis is something new,โ€ Falcis said. โ€œOur goal was to provide learners with an integrative, inquiry-based, and collaborative learning experience that we havenโ€™t done before. The ultimate challenge was how to deliver a business pitch in only five minutes.โ€

Through the activity, learners were challenged to integrate and apply the competencies they developed during the first term, transforming their mathematical knowledge and skills into meaningful applications in authentic business contexts.

For many students, the experience also provided an opportunity to step outside their comfort zones.

โ€œI loved the Business Pitch Challenge because it gave me the experience of speaking in front of a panel,โ€ said presenter John Adam Clint Sampiano. โ€œAt first, I was nervous, but as I adjusted, I became more confident. It was a challenging but fun experience that helped me improve my speaking and presentation skills.โ€

To ensure a rigorous, authentic, and objective assessment of the learnersโ€™ outputs, a distinguished panel of experts evaluated the business portfolios and live pitches. The panel included Ma. Cecilia G. Ibabao, Christian F. Basco, and Roxanne E. Guillermo.

The challenge also encouraged students to develop creativity and innovation as they refined their business concepts.

โ€œThe concept was mainly my groupmatesโ€™ idea, but I was the one who thought, โ€˜Why not give it a twist?โ€™ And thatโ€™s how our concept came to life,โ€ said Maxine Nathania Orteza, another student presenter.

Through PUHUNAN 2026, Grade 11 learners strengthened their mathematical reasoning, financial literacy, critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and oral communication skills while demonstrating how mathematics can be applied to real-world and workplace contexts.

HOW DID YOUR SCHOOL MAKE THE TOP 5? ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ†

The medals are counted. The final rankings are settled. The Top 5 are in.

After the confusion surrounding the medal tally at the DumSIPSSAA Meet 2026 was clarified, Bungsuan National High School remained on the throne, extending its reign to five straight overall crowns with 31 golds, 21 silvers, and 10 bronzes.

The Bungsuanons built their title run on a dominant 15-gold haul in Arnis, four golds in Chess, victories in both the Boysโ€™ and Girlsโ€™ Volleyball events, and seven gold medals in Girlsโ€™ Athletics.

Estefania Montemayor National High School finished second with 24 golds, 21 silvers, and 10 bronzes, powered by championship runs in Billiards, Table Tennis, and Boysโ€™ Athletics, along with two golds in Badminton and an impressive 11-gold haul in Arnis.

Manuel F. Onato National High School secured third overall with 12 golds, 8 silvers, and 7 bronzes, anchored by an eight-gold haul in Athletics and strong performances in racket sports, particularly Badminton and Table Tennis.

Host school Presentacion Diez Gregorio National High School climbed to fourth with 4 golds, 10 silvers, and 10 bronzes, while Ramon A. Benjamin Sr. National High School completed the Top 5 with 3 golds, 10 silvers, and 3 bronzes, highlighted by victories in Boysโ€™ Sepak Takraw and Chess.

Since 2017, The Radiance has covered the Dumarao District Meet, capturing the stories, victories, and moments that define Dumaraonon sports. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ†

The track becomes a stage for power and precision as every athlete takes on the challenge one phase at a time. From the first hop to the final jump, each movement carries them closer to the distance.

Push the limits. Chase the distance!

24/08/2026

One hop ignites the momentum, one step builds the power, and one final jump sends them toward greatness. In the triple jump, every phase counts, and every landing tells a story of courage.

Three moves. One fearless goal!

The Radiance, the official student press operation and media arm of Ramon A. Benjamin Sr. National High School, has covered the annual Dumarao District Meet since 2017. Through this experience, our campus journalists gather information, report updates, tell stories, and continue to grow while serving the Dumaraonon community.

Regarding our earlier post on the Overall Medal Tally Results of the DumSIPSSAA Meet 2026, we would like to clarify that the information published was based on a tally consulted from the Host DumSIPSSAA Meet 2026 Results Committee and was not independently produced by The Radiance.

We also thank the host school, Presentacion Diez Gregorio National High School, under the leadership of Sir Rhyan G. Huqueriza, Head Teacher I and DumSIPSSAA President, for accommodating The Radiance and allowing our campus journalists to cover the event.

Sports should unite communities through fairness, respect, discipline, and excellenceโ€”not divide them. Beyond medals, rankings, and results, every competition should bring us together in celebrating the effort, sacrifices, and dreams of every athlete and school.

Bungsuan National High School remains unbowed, securing the overall championship for the fifth consecutive year at the DumSIPSSAA Meet 2026.

In the updated Final and Unofficial Medal Tally, released by the Game Results Committee of host school Presentacion Diez Gregorio National High School as of 5PM on Aug. 24, Bungsuan National High School once again sits on the throne with 31 golds, 16 silvers, and 6 bronzes, edging out Estefania Montemayor National High School, which finished with 24 golds, 21 silvers, and 10 bronzes.

Contrary to the medal tally published in The Radianceโ€™s post yesterday, this updated tally reflects the consolidated results of all events under the DumSIPSSAA Meet 2026 management.

Still on the throne. Still the team to beat. Bungsuanโ€™s reign rolls on. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ†

Across the runway, athletes build speed before launching into a powerful sequence of hop, step, and jump. Every phase demands perfect timing as they soar toward their farthest distance.

Three phases. One powerful leap!
