u LEANNE FAITH G. ORONOS

Leyte Progressive High School held its Extemporaneous Speech Contest for the High School level on Thursday, November 10, 2022.

Consisting of eight (8) contenders, each student got their topic regarding relevant societal issues through draw lots. Each contender was then given three (3) minutes to organize their thoughts and think about how to explain the topic they got. Afterwards, two (2) minutes were given for each to deliver their speech.

After the careful deliberation of the identified judges for the competition, three (3) winners were proclaimed. Paul Jr. Radam from the Grade 10 class placed 1st, while Sam Angelus Singson and Paul Powell Radam of Grade 11 placed 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Being first-timers in the competition, the contenders described the event as “nerve-wracking,” for it was their first exposure to a formal extemporaneous speech contest competition. Despite this, the contenders still gave their very best.

The extemporaneous speech contest is one of the activities for English Month that LPHS has commenced with.
