The Best Thing That Happened During The Worlds
2008-01-10 21:26:00 I know I’ve already talked about how bad the 28th Worlds Universities Debate Championship was as far the Pinoys were concerned, but if there was one positive thing that came out of it, it’s certainly this one. Aside from debating, there is also a public speaking competition that runs parallel with the rounds. During the ... More About: Thing

People I Met At The Assumption Worlds

No Pinoys In The Break Rounds
2008-01-01 21:11:00 It is with great sadness that I announce that no Filipino team managed to finish within the top 32 spots in this year’s Worlds Universities Debate Championship. To add insult to injury, no Asian team broke as well. The break rounds will be essentially a Caucasian-dominated field. I know it’s unspeakable and often hush-hush, but racism has always been an issue in the Worlds. This Worlds will go down as one of the most poorly adjudicated tournaments in a long time. – To be fair to my teams adjudicators, I really believed that we were adjudicated fairly in all but one round. For the other teams though, it was a totally different story. Viewed 608 times by 309 viewers More About: Break , Rounds

When Your Teacher Tags You, You Better Oblige?
2007-12-23 21:16:00 WITH ALL OF THIS ALREADY SAID, I’m passing the baton to Benj the MD/Master-Debater… I usually don’t do memes, but since this came from Dr. Ian Gomez from the Department of Community Medicine, I think I’m pretty much expected to answer this lest I want to be subjected to the consequences.
