EDITORIAL

Intramural Inbox STUDENTS REACTION ABOUT THE FLOW OF THE DEBATE!!!

The disqualification of the NEXUS debate team is really not fair.

Maybe they were just threatened because our debaters’ are obviously the best.

It’s really unfair! NEXUS debaters’ deserve to continue the fight against their coward foe! Go NEXUS!

Anarchy in MSC In the beginning of Olympics, athletes, coaches and officials swore to an oath; a promise to abide before, during and after every game. The oath strengthens the implementation of rules of every game because through this, athletes, coaches and officials committed themselves not to break any rule in any game.

But it is an inevitable fact that almost always these rules are meant to be broken.

Officials themselves are the first ones to break the rules; the first persons who make irregularity in a certain event.

When others find out these anomalies, they would just shrug their shoulders off. Officials often break rules to pave the way for their bets; to ensure that their team would be the winning team even if they do not deserve to win.

This is what actually happens. At times when officials see that their opponent is a way better than their team, they try to look for loopholes and do hideous acts only to disqualify the better team even if it means breaking the rules.

They are called officials and some of them do not even think twice about breaking the rules and guidelines of a particular game; what do we call this? unfairness and anomaly.

Unfair on the part of the athletes who compete with all their might, striving to achieve victory, but their victory seems too far for them when officials get in the way trying to manipulate the events, favoring the team they handle.-a perfect example of breaking the rule, of lawlessness. If this would be the trend in this institution whenever we have Olympics then better not hold any event like this. We would only shame ourselves by breaking the rules implementing lawlessness just to favor teams which are threatened by the best ones who deserve for victory.

A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Very much disappointed! We all know that if there’s a team who deserves for the title it is the NEXUS. They have proven much their worth and if ever that NEXUS didn’t get the title, we still know that WE, the NEXUS have the right for the crown.

I was really dissatisfied on the result of NEXUS’ participation in the debate. It did not really go into a fair play. The question is bakit kung kailan lang nila napansin na hindi kasama sa official list ang isang kalahok sa grupo ng NEXUS ay nang matapos na ang kanilang laban. Isa pang bagay ay ang mga “Committee” daw na nag -ta-tally ng score na mga “Estudyante” NA KABILANG DAW SA OPPOSING UNIT! Isa pang bagay ay ang paggamit ng CELLPHONE sa pagsasalita ng mga kalahok. Nasaan ang real committee? Bakit hindi nila gamitin ang pag-oras katulad na lang noong ginanap sa Academic Contest?

Bakit hindi sila nag-release ng Official List bago simulan ang laban. Kasalanan ba ng NEXUS lahat ng ito para ma-disqualified silang lahat? Kung ganoon ang rules, bakit hindi nila nalaman noong una pa, noong bago pa lumaban ang NEXUS, ano ang point nila, na hindi nila alam?

Yes! They were really threatened because of the NEXUS debaters.

The unexpected thing that happened only showed that the real debaters and real fighters were seen from them.
