The College of Engineering (COE) still got hold of the gold in the jazz chant competition, sustaining a 2-peat streak with their performance inspired by the myth of 'King Midas and the Golden Touch,' during the Literary Night at the university quadrangle, October 9.
With this year's theme "Gold shall be told," COE chanters outshone competitors from seven other colleges, with the College of Fisheries (COF) also achieving a second-time victory as the first runner-up with their Wakanda-inspired performance.
In an interview, Cherry May Labesores, the student trainer for COE jazz chant, tearfully admitted that she initially doubted their chances and had even ceded to a fifth-place finish after witnessing the other performances.
“Giingnan gani nako akong chanters na hawud tanan and wala jud ko nag expect kay ang akong gi set lang na expectation sa ilaha kay ‘feeling nako ma fifth ta’ kay hawud lagi tanan gyud,” Labesores sobbingly said.
Labesores also shared the emotional challenges they faced, including misunderstandings and minor quarrels, but they are grateful that all of these issues were resolved before their stage performance.
"Sobra kadaghan [na challenges] kay dili man jud sa tanang panahon kay smooth-sailing ang commitee sa inyong event. Usahay naay misunderstandings, naay mga lapses, mga pagkukulang gyud pero worth it man gihapon ang mga pangalalis, ang mga hard feelings kay lipay na lang pod kay before nag start ang ilahang piece—ang among performance, naayos man gihapon," she stated.
