VOX PAWPULI STUDENTS’ SENTIMENTS REGARDING THE HUGYAW 2022 “

This hUgyAw [2022] we lack in man power but we look for ways to ensure successful intramurals for our department which is the College of Technology. As we are now in the new normal, this event is exciting but a little stressful. In this event, what the students wish for is timely information because we receive late information from heads of the event so we also deliver it late. Cooperation between the [UASG] provincial and national officers [could be improved] because there are delays in information dissemination so before we could work, we need directives from the nationals. They may lessen the pressure they give to provincial officers because there are times that they rush us. Meanwhile, athletes’ discipline may be monitored and improved because we could hear people shouting at the middle of the night.

JESSEY O. TAMOLIN JR. COT GOVERNOR

“

This hUgyAw 2022 is an opportunity for students to engage in activities at the university. It is okay that sports are now given attention after two years. It is the moment for students to showcase their talents. So far, students are excited and cooperative in the department’s plans. However, it is natural to have instances where we face changes. I said that athletes should be on time and on call during games and events. There were no issues that reached the provincial office’s attention because we conducted meetings with the students every 4:00 to 5:00 PM or 12:30 to 1:00 PM. After the storm, FLP and UASG decided to collect requirements while some of our atheletes were at home across Paliwan Bridge which collapsed. We had problems in complying with the requirements but we pursued it so our athletes could join the events. Anything that happens, win or lose, be humble because this is our school and our event so play and be a sport.”

RAYMUNDO SIGUA JR.

CCJE GOVERNOR

It is a little bit tiring and we are very exhausted specially for provincial officers but we feel so grateful that we experienced such thing that help us mold our cooperation. The appropriate learning that we gain on this event is we need to do our obligations. Honestly speaking, we received a negative feedback but we took it as positive ones for us to continue what we need to do. One thing I want improved is the coordination with students because with coordination, we could achieve what we are aiming for. My advise [to participants] is goodluck because we won’t know if we will lose or win but the most important thing is we did our best and enjoyed the games.

PRINCE SIUVE YAN CTE GOVERNOR

“

As governor, one of the issues for me is with the Sports Development Office such as scheduling of meetings and the no meeting-no play disqualification of athletes. When meetings were conducted, a letter must be sent. The conditions are so unjustifiable because the priority of students is their studies. Given that there were no letters nor excuse letters for students specifically the Arnis team and tournament manager who scheduled a meeting during the midterm examinations, students would prioritize their exams. Our petition to cancel the disqualification was catered by the Sports Development Office however, score deductions were applied to our athletes. The facilitators could improve the schedules, information dissemination and formality in their system of instruction and there are meetings, then a minutes would for recording of data and decisions.”

ERL A. MACAVINTA CBA GOVERNOR

“

I was pressured because I am new at the position and it was at the time around the miodterm examinations. I observed that students were doing their tasks especially during the games and the distribution of snacks. Our athletes enjoyed and we succeeded in Volleyball and Basketball. We submitted some papers for cultural events late because it was just after the tropical storm. The forms were submitted late due that travelling from municipalities to Sibalom is hard but we solved it especially for our dancers.”

CHARRISE JEAN G. JASTILLANA CMS GOVERNOR

I am proud knowing as a student that hUgyAw was not held for how many years. Students at the department are happy and I saw their excitement at the day it was announced that hUgyAw will push through. At the time hUgyAw was announced, the main concern of students was the contribution which was solved through itemized budgeting. After it was presented to them, they proceeded in contributing. Our department is far but we were called a couple of times but in the end our athletes could not play. I raised this concern to the announcers that when they call our attention, the venue, coaches and coordinators should be ready. So improve the flow of the program, events and officers should not point fingers from the National officers of UASG and coordinators. My advice to everyone is enjoy the event because this is only once a year and of course do not build conflict with other departments.”

SPENZER MERENDAD CEA GOVERNOR

MARK

I never thought that I can be able to experience again the vibes and hype of hUgyAw after two years of online class. This year’s celebration is quite impactful since I can personally observe the willingness and excitement of the students in joining various sports and contest categories intensified by their eagerness to win.

About sa Hugyaw 2022, nami gid kay nag give chance ang UA sa mga students para magkinasadya man dahil we were stressed about the midterm examination. Kag as a student nga wara gina intrahan nga sport, sadya gid maglibot-libot para magtan-aw kang nasari-sari nga sports, makit-an mo gid ang pursigido kang mga players para madaog.

- Bituon CCJE

In the midst of a pandemic, most of the students struggled with their acads. My opinion regarding Hug yaw 2022 is that despite of hard ships that we faced, camaraderie is shared and I must say this is the most awaited event for this academic year.

-Reklamador CCS

I find it insensitive to celebrate it a week after the disaster caused by the severe tropical strom Paeng. Some students were devastated , and it is not okay to romanticize resilience and finding happiness after the devastation. The institution should not have hold intramurals and focus on how students will cope on after the disaster and how to catch up on their academic bakclogs.
