PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION

The Public Speaking Competition of the English Resource Center was held last April 20, 2016 at the Asia Pacific College Auditorium. Chosen representatives from Engineering and Multimedia Arts students who are taking English classes this term were part of the said competition. At 8 in the morning, semi – finals were held at different classrooms. Then at 10 am, the names of the finalist were announced at the auditorium. Part of them is our block mate, Tyron Santos. The topic of their speech is: “Integrity has no need of rules”. The speech should only last for exactly five minutes. Tyron started his speech in greeting us in different languages. Also, he translated integrity in different languages as well. Tyron then explained to the audience what integrity was, based on the dictionary, Wikipedia and on his own understanding. He doesn’t end his speech without leaving our minds with the clear understanding of the word integrity. He is very witty with his speech. Tyron really catches the attention of the audiences. There were questions by the judges after every speech. Tyron makes us laugh with his humorous answers. He makes the whole ABMA 153 proud. The announcement of winners will be announced on the next day. 21^st of April 2016 comes, and everyone’s waiting for Tyron’s name to be called on the winners of the Public Speaking Competition. And as expected, he was called and was the 1^st runner up. He makes us even more proud. The whole block was yelling and shouting his name.
