FEATURE: Miriam Debate Society Returns to the Spotlight at PIDC 2025

After a period of inactivity in recent years, the Miriam College Debate Society (MC DebSoc) has officially made its comeback. Marking its revival, the team proudly participated in the 2025 Philippine Inter-Collegiate Debate Championship (PIDC). It was held at the University of the Philippines Diliman last June 13 to 16, 2025.

Representing Miriam College were three first-year BA Global Affairs and Diplomacy students, namely, Eunela Rain Ayop, Daphne Regalado, and Trixie Bonita as debaters, along with Raisha Helen Jo “Ayeshane” Balili, a second-year BA International Studies major in International Politics and Peace Studies, as an adjudicator. The team underwent weeks of training, combined with strategic guidance from their mentor, Sir Rej Cortez Torrecampo.

PIDC brought together students from various institutions across the country to engage in spirited rounds of Asian Parliamentary debate. MC DebSoc’s participants not only tested their skills against some of the nation’s best, but also exchanged ideas and friendships, rekindling Miriam College’s presence in the debating community.

This tournament marks more than just a competition, but a symbol of the MC HEU community’s re-entry into the debating scene. Now officially relaunched, the organization is back with renewed energy and big plans ahead in line with their mission to sharpen the voices and minds of HEU student debaters.

“Success is not measured by the amount of money that you make. It’s measured by the love that people have towards us, the respect you can command from others,” Miriam College president, Amb. Laura Quiambao-Del Rosario, told the graduates of Batch 2025 in her message during the graduation ceremony of the School of Business, Entrepreneurship, and Accountancy (SBEA) and Graduate programs on June 28 at the Marian Auditorium.

Amb. Quiambao-Del Rosario talked about the importance of focusing on God, and reminded the graduates to distinguish themselves through identity, especially as individuals who stand for truth, justice, peace, and integrity of creation.

“You know very well, if you don’t have truth, if you don’t know what’s happening, how can you dispense justice? It’s impossible,” she also cited as an example the “centuries of injustice and misnarration” enfolded in Israel’s war on Gaza.

To love, to protest, and to be free.

Ang pag-ibig ay mapagpalaya, ang magmahal ay pakikibaka. Pride Month has long been about protest, which is why we celebrate Pride by continuously advocating for inclusivity and diversity, refusing to deny humanity, and opposing anything that strips away our rights.

Chi Rho Publications wishes you love and freedom, and continues to march with you.

Happy Pride! 🌈
