We won!

...and by "won", I don't mean that we got First Place... It's actually 4th Place - and if you haven't joined any debate event yet (specially the 18th Mindanao Parliamentary Debate Championship), then you wouldn't know the real weight that this title has within itself.

We (MSU-IIT) made history last October 10-12 at Butuan City. We were the first ones (in the history of MSU-IIT and MPDC) to enter into the final round outside the four founding institutions of the event, namely: Ateneo de Davao University, Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan, MSU-Marawi, and Ateneo de Zamboanga University.

You can only imagine the surprise I felt when I found myself speaking in front of the other (more worthy...I'm humble, like this...hehe...but no, seriously, I don't think I deserve to be in the finals) participants wearing a formal attire that isn't even mine (borrowed individual pieces of clothing from people with a good heart -- and clothes to spare).
