STI 14th National Youth Convention in Tacloban


They came in droves. Aside from having students from STI College Ormoc, STI Maasin and STI College Tacloban, a throng of High School students who live just near the area came to the Astrodome to witness this spectacular roadshow presentation.


Today's convention was quite difficult since the multimedia projector that we rented from Microdata was busted when we got it so we asked for the one being used by the school but since it was not meant for big crowds like the ones we have and the light inside the astrodome was quite strong then we had to make do with what we have.


When the STI College Tacloban students started their interpretation of their invocation hymn the crowd applauded them for their nice rendition of I will sing forever. At the same time the crowd went nuts when I came out with my dance number.


Spanky had a hard time with his talk because he had to explain things more since the screen was not clear and the important points of his presentation relied much on his presentation. Luckily the students were all ears in listening to the presentations.


The second presentation was quite a revelation. Stanley Dimain took the second topic but gave the presentation about relationships "THink Link- Connecting People!" Stanley was on a roll since all the students were laughing from the jokes that he shared. THe High School students and even STI College Students were jumping off their seats from the sharp delivery of anecdotes by Stanley.


Dennis Evangelista was a fitting anchor for the students since he once again took the topic Pesonality, Characteristics in Managing your Peso. He also had his share of laughs but what was more important was the knowledge that he has shared with the STI Students.


Presentations from STI Maasin, STI College Ormoc and STI College Tacloban were exceptional. The students from Ormoc showed one scene from the play they showed in Ormoc city - Once on this Island. On the other hand the STI College Tacloban dancers showed quite a superbly choreographed dance number.


There were more than a thousand STI students that came and we were all happy that we have given our STI students and the High School students as well another day of fun and excitement.
