BUTUAN CITY (29 September) – The College of Information Technology (CIT) once again proved its worth and supremacy in performing artistic moves and unique presentations as the 49-male and 1 female student-performers grabbed the championship plum in this year’s Undak-undak Festival, a street dancing competition held in connection with Saint Joseph Institute of Technology’s (SJIT) 39th Foundation Anniversary, taking away P25,000.00 cash prize.
Students of the College of Information Technology (CIT) of Saint Joseph Institute of Technology (SJIT) are shown here performing their stints in street dancing portraying festivities of the “Lumad Mamanwa Tribe” during the 2010 Undak-undak Festival, highlighting the institute’s 39th Foundation Anniversary Celebration.Clad in bahag costume depicting the Mamanwa Tribe of Surigao del Norte, the contingent show their breath-taking performance to the delight of around 3,000 spectators witnessing the activity highlighting the foundation anniversary of the only ISO-accredited education institution in Butuan City.
Prior to the final showdown, a street dancing was conducted in time with the opening parade, which made the audience from all walks of life stop for a while to take pictures of the eight contingents representing the seven colleges of the institute, including the Basic Education, as they vie for the Best in Street dancing special award, which was later on awarded to second placer – College of Education, Arts and Sciences (CEAS) who portrayed the Bulawan Festival of the Compostella Valley. They went home with Php 20,000 in cash.
Aside from winning the grand championship trophy, CIT was also awarded Best in Choreography, which is considered the biggest contributing factor for being chosen as this year’s Grand Champion by majority of the judges composed of choreographers and mentors of cultural dance groups in universities and high schools in Caraga Region.
Meanwhile, College of Criminology’s (COC) Dinagyang Festival which is originated from Iloilo City was declared 2nd runner-up. They received a cash prize of P15,000.00. The other contingents who did not make in the magic three also received consolation prize of P5,000.00 each.
It was learned that CIT’s choreographer from Surigao City has a lot of experience in as far as festival competitions is concerned. Among those is the region’s famous Bonok-bonok Festival which was held annually every September 10 in time with Surigao City’s fiesta celebration in honor of Patron Saint Senior San Nicolas de Tolentino. Another is the Lanzones Festival of Camiguin where contingent in Surigao City also dominated in this annual festival of the province considered as the “Paradise Island of Mindanao”.
In an informal talk with some of the participants, when asked what made them inspire in portraying astoundingly their role as Mamanwas, one of the participants said, “what we are doing is not only for the contingent’s sake but for the entire students of the College of Information Technology where we are representing,” he said.
Also, another participant said, they were challenged when CIT Dean – Prof. Amy C. Saavedra, together with the college’s faculty members “walked out” during their final rehearsal. “We were actually touched by the statements of our Dean reminding us of the reasons why we need to win in this contest,” a senior participant said.
Further, Prof. Saavedra confirmed the participant’s statement. “As the dean and mentors of these young participants, we really need to inculcate in their mind that with the efforts and sacrifices they have exerted, they must be paid off – by winning in the competition… What’s the purpose of sleeping late at night and exerting too much effort, and in the end, we will lose,” Saavedra said.
It can be recalled that CIT landed 2nd runner-up to Maritime Academy who was declared champion during last year’s competition while CEAS was declared 1st runner up.
The 39th Foundation Anniversary Celebration of SJIT is anchored on the theme: “SJIT at 39: Enhancing institutional culture for quality education”. (PIA-Caraga)
