During the week-long extravaganza from May 1 to 8, the University Inter-Dormitory Student Body captivated audiences with a vibrant display of talent, unity, and friendly competition.
Dormers from Kanlaon-Sampaguita-Mahogany (KASAMMA), Coconut Federation and Ilang-Ilang (COFILANG), and United Lower Campus (ULC) came together to showcase their athletic and artistic prowess, celebrating their extraordinary abilities while emphasizing the strong sense of camaraderie that binds them.
KASAMMA successfully defended their championship title as they earned the overall victory for this year’s UISB Sportsfest for the fifth consecutive time, making it their grand slam title.
In an interview with AMARANTH, John Mark Ceda, Public Information Officer of the KASAMMA faction and the Secretary General of UISB Council, recalls the challenges their team went through before clinching the championship title.
“The recently concluded UISB events were exhausting to be honest but fulfilling especially because we defended our championship title and now we're down to the hall of fame club. I've witnessed all the necessary preparations that my team has prepared and they really put their minds into it making all efforts into fruitful outcomes.” Ceda said.
Further, Ceda hopes to retain the consecutive victory streak of their team in the future.
KASAMMA garnered a total of 455 points earning them the golden title of this year’s UISB Sportsfest. COFILANG settled for silver with 390 points and ULC for bronze with 369 points in total.
