#FirstDebateCompetition

Philippine debate open is an international tournament. Famous top-Asian debaters joined the event. I was really amused by how they think their way out of silly motions. Two teams of UPLB advanced to the high-rounds. Sen. Legarda's son was also in our team, paired with one of our senior member. We were two points away from advancing, we only had 7 points (too close).

It's not debating that is most difficult; it's commuting that is. Flood easily filled the streets of Manila and we had to submerge our tired feet. My partner, who's from Bicol, even told me "...so this is Manila".
