Ang halagang 250 pesos din ay katumbas na nang isang lingo mong pangkain sa tanghalian at kasya pa pangmeryenda. Isa pang kinahaharap na problema ng kapwa ko mag-aaral ay ang pagre-reset ng bawat isang account sa SIS. Wala kang magagawa kung hindi ang i-Forgot Password at muling magsend sa iyong email address ang bago mong password. At kung hindi na activated ang email address na iyong ibinigay sa unang taon mo sa kolehiyo, nararapat ka pang pumunta sa registrar upang mapapalitan ito. Ito ay isang malaking
abala lalo na sa may mga scholarship na kinakailangan agad na magbigay ng kopya ng grado, kung hindi maa-accesss ang SIS, maaaring madelay ang proseso ng iyong scholarahip o ang mas malala ay mawala ito. Sa paglipas ng panahon, mas dumarami ang kinahaharap na problema ng mga mag-aaral sa SIS. Mula pagpasok pa lamang sa website, pag-eenrol, at pagkuha ng grado. Tila ba nagbabayad tayo sa tamang halaga ngunit hindi sinusklian ng tama. At ang hiling ng bawat mag-aral, sana ang SIS ay hindi na muling maging magulo, wala nang miscellaneuos fee na magsulputan at hindi na muling magmahal.

Evangelista bolted her way into the top as she fired through the stage with her opening production, “Domino”, “Saan Darating ang Umaga” for mellow round, “Sweet Dreams” for Upbeat Category and her astounding performance of “Sana’y Wala nang Wakas”, which was the standard winning piece for Final Round.
