Team 2 gained two (2) points, gaining them 2nd place and Team 10, lost the tournament with zero (0).

The LSC Governor, Gregorio Sunga shared his experience with organizing said tournament “All throughout the process naman coordinated lahat yan sa buong LSC officers and coordinated din sya sa ating PE instructor na si Sir Noel, which is sya yung nag-fafacilitate dito and as we all know naman dart sya so coordinated lahat to sa ating nurse. Overall naman yung sa pag oorganize naman ng dart natin, nung una lang medyo nahirapan lang kami mag gain ng participants, however during the event na mismo dumami naman yung participants natin and organized naman sya and overall, smooth naman yung naging process.”

And as mentioned, the faculty member, P.E. Instructor and the hands-on facilitator of the Dart Tournament, Sir Noel Del Rosario also shared his experience as “actually syempre with the help ng SG (Student Government), Governor Greg, tinulungan niya kaming mag encourage ng mga estudyante, ganun din naman ako, support” and during his facilitation he said “madali lang facilitate ang dart na event kasi isa na to sa sports ko talaga, then sabi ko nga, as much as possible gusto ko nang mas maraming makaklarong estudyante, mas masaya” as well as being the instructor, he also guided the LSC officers who helped with the tournament.

One of the officers who helped with the facilitating, Board Member of Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT), Kurt Enrykx Naguit, shared how Sir Noel guided him during the tournament saying “to be honest, since hindi din naman sobrang sanay talaga ako, kami, ng lsc, na mag darts is medyo nangangapa din, although familiar din naman kami, and helpful talaga na nandyan si Sir noel para i-guide kami throughout the competition. Ayon kahit di man masyadong familiar nung umpisa, habang tumatagal is nagamay ko na din kung paano yung scoring, since kami nga yung nag fafcilitate, nag aasikaso ng scoring. All-in-all ayun masaya sya kasi yung mga students natin nakikita natin nag eenjoy sila sa paglalaro, yung pagiging competitive nila at the same time nandon yung sportsmanship nila… nagenjoy sila sa pinaka paglalaro.”

Through and through, the dart Tournament was successful and as smooth as the shots of the participants. With the handson help of the LSC officers and Sir Noel, the competition was safe and enjoyed by many. | Jeremie Dela Cruz/Piscatores

“Ang goal po nito ay subukin ang creativity and technical skills ng kapwa ko BIT students… at ipakita na may kakayanan din kami sa ganitong larangan,” he said.

He also highlighted what students could gain from the experience.
“Sana sa pamamagitan ng ganitong kompetisyon ay mahasa ang creativity and technical skills sa limitadong oras at makabuo ng artwork kahit under pressure,” he added.

Mordido emphasized the importance of strengthening digital art skills in the current technological landscape.
“Ngayong laganap ang mga AI-generated images, mahalaga na linangin natin yung ganitong skills… naniniwala ako na ito ay mapag-aaralan at pwede pang paunlarin,” he said.

LOOK: Let the Mind Games Begin! LSC Led Chess Tournament to Kick-Off the Foundation Week

First day of the celebration of the Bulacan State University – Hagonoy Campus foundation week started off by juggling the minds of the students by turning the Campus Library as the arena of intellect for the chess tournament which held by the Local Student Council (LSC) and facilitated by Mr. Cielito Sanchez.

Students from different colleges showcase their intellect, decision making, and critical thinking under pressure. According to Mr. Sanchez activities like this are important to, “Help them think critically, develop planning ability. Hindi lamang puro sa pisikal kundi pati sa mental”. The event ran smoothly with complete materials from Mr. Sanchez in which he accumulated from his almost 15 years of organizing chess which also makes him capable of handling and preparing for the possible challenges, yet, according to him the challenging part is the pairing as he said that, “nadodoble yung pairing, kagaya kanina”. Activities like this are also expected to happen during special events like Foundation Week, Intramurals, and ANGARA Chess Cup which has higher cash prizes. Also, the tournament benefited the students in a way that this will become their training ground and finding new talents.

The winners won cash prizes starting off with the men’s champion, Ralph Lauren Retig from BTLED HE 3A, followed by the second place, Justfer Carabuena from BSIT 4B, and the third place, Romel Acuña from BSHM 4A. And for the woman who secured the spot of the champion, Marcel Grachzelli Santos from BSIT 2B, the second place, Christine Joy Diaz from BSTM 3B, and the third place Ma. Helena Cielyn Santos from BSTM 3B.

As the tournament concluded, fun and excitement continued to build while also building the skills of the students proving that not all battles are just fought by strength, but also by strategy and wit. | Yzavel Reyes/Piscatores
