Taking Time Out at Area IV Meet Opening

I have been to the opening of  2013 Area IV athletic meet. It started with a parade of athletic delegations from the municipality of Pontevedra, San Enrique, Valladolid, Pulupandan and the city of La Carlota and the ciy of Bago, the host city.

The playground demonstration of two-thousand high students of Ramon Y. Torres National High School added color at the conclusion of the opening program in the morning. These students displayed their best dancing skill to the tune of the VST music of the 80s.

I was there the whole day taking in-charge of the documentation of the day-to-day events played by the players of the division of La Carlota City. While doing some picture-taking of the running, ball games, and jumping events of the day, I stumbled upon a group of students in uniform.

Division Athletic Meet: 'Achieving Something Honorable'

In every competition, there is always a winner and there is always a loser. But in sports contest, everyone who joins and does excel his best, whether he wins or not, is already a winner.

La Carlota Vice Mayor Luis J. Jalandoni in his message firmly believed that there is "something honorable" that could be achieved in an athletic meet like this one of the Division of La Carlota City.

He had stressed that winning contributing factor in this particular meet is determined by the relationship established by every athlete among themselves. He pointed out, "In every endeavor, relationship matters most."

In like manner, City Sports Coordinator Ruben Guerra, my high school batch mate, class 1970 had shared his inspiring words of thought to the competing athletes. He has highly regarded this sports competition as a "hope for a better performance" of everyone. He also strongly believed that success of this activity is achieved because of friendship, harmony, and sportsmanship among the athletes.
