Rajah Sulayman Gym, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng
Maynila – Nine competing colleges battled it out for the most coveted and
highly anticipated honor of being the champions for this year’s PLM Intramurals
2007 Cheering Competition.
Like on the verge of having a UAAP/NCAA-ish
pep-war, the nine squads performed their stints with utmost passion, vigor, and
competitiveness against one another. And as expected – as always – it was
indeed a healthy, but definitely a bloody cheering competition.
The nine squads consist the following (as for
the order of performance):
1. College of Physical Education, Recreation and Sports – the
C.O.P.E.R.S. Gators
2. College of Tourism, Hotel, Travel and Industry
Management – the C.T.H.T.I.M. Slashers
3. College of Physical Therapy – the C.P.T. Warriors
4. College of Mass Communication – the C.M.C. Waves
5. College of Management and Entrepreneurship – the C.M.E.
Jaguars
6. College of Engineering and Technology – the C.E.T. Knights
7. College of Nursing – the C.N. Titans
8. College of Accountancy and Economics – the C.A.E. Dragons
9. College of Human Development – the C.H.D. Myth
The C.M.E. Jaguars emerged as the victors for
this year, garnering an average of 96.32%. Meanwhile, hanging after the Jaguars
are the C.H.D. Myth with 93.66% (1st Runner-Up), the C.M.C. Waves
with 93.33% (2nd Runner-Up), and the C.O.P.E.R.S. Gators with 93.03%
(3rd Runner-Up).
The Myth received a 3-point deduction, for
originally they were the 4th to perform on the event. However, some
difficulties arose that prompted them to ask the Student Intramurals Council
(SIC) to move their performance to be last on the list. The SIC approved the
request, but gave them a .5 deduction for every squad that adjusted to perform
prior to them, in accordance to their appeal.
On the other hand, the C.E.T. Knights, who were
the champions on this event for the past two consecutive years, emerged only 5th
in ranking.
The Cheering Competition was the highlight of
the closing ceremony of the PLM Intramurals 2007.

YES! The long wait was finally over – and the
blessing along with it was definitely a reason to celebrate – we have WON!
All the sacrifices: time, sweat, tears, money,
and pleasures paid off! For every aching muscle, tired bone, and stressed
neuron has finally achieved a fruitful, meaningful, and memorable reward. In
short: it was a success over hard work.
At this point, I would like to thank all the
people behind this wonderful journey of perseverance and triumph:

Female counterpart – the Female Team Captain of the C.M.C. Pep Squad – and for
being my soul-catcher (at times when everything seems imperfectly not normal…)!
You rock PARTNER! \m/

This success is the fruit of every sweat we’ve
managed to endure, the endless drought of throat we’ve experienced for having
less water breaks, the I-don’t-know-how-long tiring practice sessions we’ve
shared annoyingly, and the pile and pile of sacrifices we’ve surpassed all
together as one, as a team – as the C.M.C. Pep Squad! Thank you so much for
being one of the molecules of the college’s BIG Wave!
Luigi “Joaqui” Tagunicar, for being our
trainer; though we’ve been together for just a short time, keep in mind that
you are part of the C.M.C. Pep Squad pride.
Ulysses Castuciano, Joseph Molina and RJ for
being our well-respected lifters, marshals and drummers, you three are also
part of the squad. You are part of this victory!
Our respected families, for their continued
support, understanding, and love – thank you for nurturing us as we embark on
this test of confidence and talent.
Our second family, the College of Mass
Communication, headed by the Dean Gemma Dela Cruz – thank you for the simple
yet meaningful prayers you’ve shared with us, and for honing us on becoming the
Next Breed of Excellent Communicators! CMC Fight!
The CMC Student Council and the Mass
Communication Students’ League, thank you for your unending support for the
squad, may it be financially or morally. Thank you so much.
And lastly, to the Almighty God, our Divine
Master and Teacher – thank you for letting us share this wonderful gift to the
world around us. You are the reason of this success, and we lift it up to You.
We may not have the grooviest moves, the
fanciest stunts, nor the funkiest music, but what we have is definitely the
real treasured price of this experience – FRIENDSHIP.
And like what Kirsten Dunst said on the Bring
It On movie, “…second place? Hell, yeah!”!
Who?!
Who’s gonna fight us?!
Who?!
Who’s gonna fight us?!
