Green Frogs. Yellow Griffins. Red Phoenix. Blue Pitbulls.

November 20 2008 – Philippine Science High School – Southern Mindanao Campus’ students put on their colored sporting attire as they participated in the school’s Intramurals held at the school Gymnasium.

The event formally started with the opening program where members of each year level cheered as they waved their flags and banners. Everyone was excited as the much-awaited cheer dance competition began. Every dancer moved, flexed and danced with the music.
Each year level showed amazing choreography, synchronization and energy.
The parlor games, “laro ng lahi”, basketball, volleyball, table tennis and the board games followed. Each cheered for their bets and participants. The crowd was even happier during the game “Maria went to Town,” where the boys dressed and walked like girls.
The participants were tired when the first day ended but their fighting spirit still ran alive until the second day.

Everyone woke up early in the 21st of November as early as 6:30 am. Some participants are already practicing for the next event, the step dance competition.

The gym was quiet as the different year levels presented their step dance presentations. Each participant vigorously stomped, clapped, and cheered. They were full of power as the rhythm of their body actions continue.

Another highlight for the second day was the basketball championship. The Pitbulls and the Phoenix for both divisions (girls’ and boys’) struggled and suffered from a full-court press to get the title as champions.

It was already the moment of truth after two days - the awarding of prizes. Every time the different teams were called as winners, their batch mates yelled and cheered until the major awards were given.

The Pitbulls were declared champion in the men's basketball while the Phoenix reigned supreme in the girls’ division. The Pitbulls bagged the awards for the cheer dance, step dance, and double dutch contests. Special awards were also given to the Frogs for being the most punctual; the Griffins for being the most disciplined; the Pitbulls for being the most enthusiastic; and best governor award for Angelica Santos for the Phoenix. Mrs. Maria Teresa Tenchavez of the same team was declared as best adviser.

It was a very close fight between the Pitbulls and the Phoenix; but in the end, the Pitbulls emerged as champion by a lead of 16 points. Following them were the blazing Phoenix, the energetic Griffins, and followed by the cute Frogs.
