DALOY: UPIS Celebrates Return of Field Demo and Powerdance

The UP Integrated School (UPIS) rejoiced as the face-to-face Field Demonstration and Powerdance returned on May 22, 2024, at the UPIS 7-12 Gymnasium after a years-long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The event featured performances from different batches.

This year’s theme was “Agos: Mga Kilapsaw na Nagkakaisa, Iisang Alon ng Pag-asa”. Titled “DALOY”; the activity aimed to inspire students to unite and work towards a common cause, emphasizing the importance of solidarity in creating a wave of hope and positive change.

DALOY was divided into two programs: the first was the Field Demonstration for Grades K-6, and the second was the Powerdance competition between Grades 7-10. There were special numbers from the UPIS Dance Company, Grade 12 students (Batch 2024), and the UPIS Pep Squad. Both programs were hosted by Mx. Ey Calso from the Health and PE Department, and Mr. Harold Badilla from the Mathematics Department.

FIELD DEMO

The performances and cheers for the Field Demo had to answer the question: “Bilang kabataan, paano mo mapapabuti ang kalagayan ng mundo? (As a youth, how can you improve the state of the world?)”. The event started with the opening remarks from the Dean of the UP Diliman College of Education, Dr. Jerome T. Buenviaje. Afterward, the judges were promptly introduced: Mr. Carlo Pineda from the Filipino Department, and UPIS alumni Ms. Danna Sumalabe and Ms. Tristine Anne Badong.

The first to perform were the K-2 students from Batch 2036, 2035, and 2034. All three batches wore blue T-shirts, differing in intensity of shade with Kinder wearing the lightest and Grade 2, the darkest. Their dance ended with the teachers blowing bubbles in the air and waving blue cloths that mimicked ocean waves. Their performance showed that your abilities hold the power to better the world. At the beginning of their performance, K-2 declared, “Saan ka man dalhin ng agos, sundan mo lang ang daloy (Wherever the current carries you, simply follow its flow)”. They won two awards: Crowd Favorite and Most Synchronized. Watch their performance here.

The next to perform were the Grade 3 students (Batch 2033) who wore PE jogging pants and donned white shirts with a colorful design encircling their batch number (on the front) and their batch logo design (on the back). They cheered about how, despite their young age, they will shine persistently. They also formed small circle formations near the end of their performance. They won the Best in Formation award. Watch their performance here.

Next were the Grade 4 (Batch 2032) students; they raised white fans, producing a domino effect and later on revealed colorful fans to surprise the crowd. In the beginning of their performance, they chanted about how they will forge a new path amidst the waves, and utilize their strength and dreams for a brighter tomorrow. They won the award for Best Interpretation. Watch their performance here.

The penultimate batch performance was from the Grade 5 students (Batch 2031) who wore colorful cloaks over white shirts during their dance. Their chant ended with, “Kami ang magsisilbing liwanag sa dilim (We will serve as the light in the darkness)”, conveying the message that the youth serves as light in times of darkness, and they are determined to use that light to make the world better. They won the award for Best Choreography. Watch their performance here.

The last performers were the Grade 6 students (Batch 2030), who wore red caps and a batch shirt with their batch name and a butterfly design. Their chant at the beginning of the performance urged the people to cherish the environment and to stay true to themselves, no matter what. They won three awards: Best Cheer, Most Energetic, and Best Costume. Watch their performance here.

The track “Go Up” by SB19 was the required song in the performance of all the batches while “Liwanag sa Dilim”, either as sung by Rivermaya or the All Star version, was coincidentally present in every batch’s performance in response to the aforementioned question of the event.

After the performances, the UPIS Dance Company presented a special number to the song, “Treasure” by Bruno Mars, indicating that the Field Demo performances had come to an end. Watch their performance here.

After that, the winners were announced and the awards were given by Asst. Prof. Mia Baygan and Ms. Cathy Olivar, the advisers of the Pamunuan ng Kamag-Aral (PKA)—3-6 and 7-10, respectively.

The Field Demo concluded with the closing remarks by Asst. Prof. Baygan, who thanked all the supporters, the parents, and the students who showed up and gave their support that led to a successful Field Demo. The program ended with the singing of the “UP Naming Mahal” led by Ethan Lakip, president of PKA 3-6.

There were many challenges that the advisers and students encountered during the preparations for their Field Demo. These include the cancellation of face-to-face classes due to the high heat index and the changes in venue.

K-2 Daloy Team Head and Teacher Jessica Terante shared how the sudden shift to online mode affected their practice for the performances. According to Teacher Jessica, preparations included planning the timeline for the joint practices and goals for each week, shooting a dance video tutorial so students can watch/practice at home, and deciding on the students’ costumes and props, they reported.

Despite the challenges that were faced, the Field Demo pushed through and the K-6 students completed their performances despite limited practice time.

POWERDANCE

The Powerdance performances revolved around the question: “Ano ang dapat ipinaglalaban ng mga kabataan sa henerasyon ngayon? (What should the youth be fighting for in this generation?)” All the performers started with an introductory speech/cheer and answered the question through their dances.

The event began with opening remarks from UP Diliman Chancellor Edgardo Carlo L. Vistan II and an introduction of the judges. The judges for this year’s Powerdance were Ms. Mary Ann Ignacio, a K-2 teacher, and Ms. Liway Perez and Ms. Iya Oliva, both alumni of UPIS.

The performances commenced with the Grade 7 students (Batch 2029) performing in colorful cloaks and masquerade masks. Their vibrant dance showcased the flowy cloaks, ending with a dramatic toss in the air. Their cheer centered on how even when faced with big waves of hardships, they, the youth, shine as beacons of hope. They won third runner-up. Watch their performance here.

The next performers were Grade 8 students (Batch 2028), half were dressed in pirate-themed costumes while the other half wore civilian-themed blue attire. Their dance was filled with pirate flair, complete with props such as swords and flags. The speech that accompanied their performance conveyed a simple yet powerful message: anyone, whether mermaid or human, can contribute to positive change in life. They won second-runner up. Watch their performance here.

After them, Grade 9 students (Batch 2027) made an entrance, clad in contrasting black or white attire. Later in their performance, they revealed their vests in a spectrum of colors underneath the neutral fabrics. Batch 2027 hoped to spare the next generation from darkness, aspiring to be their guiding light. As their batch said at the beginning of their performance, “Kabataan ang ating pag-asa at sagot (the youth are our hope and answer)”. They won first-runner up. Watch their performance here.

In the second-to-the-last Powerdance performance, Grade 10 students (Batch 2026) captivated the audience with their all-black attire, their mouths initially veiled with cloth. Later in their performance, they cast aside the cloth that had been covering their mouths, and their long skirts, initially black, were revealed to be in different shades of blue. Their performance demonstrated how powerful the youth’s voices could be, affirming that they will never be silenced, regardless of who tries to quiet them. They were the Champion of the Powerdance competition. Watch their performance here.

All the Grade 7-10 Powerdance performances included a dance to BINI x SB19 x Jonathan Manalo’s “Kabataang Pinoy” as it was a required song for their performances.

The final act featured a special farewell performance from the graduating class, Grade 12 (Batch 2024). They donned violet shirts bearing their batch number (on the front) and surnames (on the back); their homeroom advisers and teachers joined them at the latter part of the performance. A special recognition award was given to the batch. Watch their performance here.

After the Powerdance performances, there was a special number from the UPIS Pep Squad.

The group performed multiple cheerleading dance routines that consisted of tumbling, stunting, dance, pyramids, cheers, and the renowned “Unibersidad ng Pilipinas” chant. During a costume change for the dancers, the drummers presented a solo. Watch their performance here.

For the complete videos of all DALOY performances, visit the UPIS Media Center's YouTube channel.

After the culmination of all performances, PKA Advisers Asst. Prof. Mia Baygan and Ms. Cathy Olivar and the judges took the stage to announce the winners for the Powerdance competition. Two Stunner Awards were also given to recognize individual students who performed exceptionally. The two stunners were Jude Camba from Batch 2029 and Xinia Maza from Batch 2027.

To wrap up the event, Ms. Cathy Olivar delivered the closing remarks, expressing gratitude to the students, supporters, and parents for their dedication and support. The event concluded with Francine Candido, treasurer of the PKA 7-10, leading the singing of “UP Naming Mahal”.

Preparing for the Field Demo and Powerdance involved various challenges and adjustments, according to PKA Presidents Ethan Lakip and Justice Aguinaldo.

“One of the major challenges we faced was the high heat index,” Aguinaldo said. “Due to this, many of the Field Demonstration and Powerdance practices were canceled, leading us to revise the schedule repeatedly to adjust to the new setup.”

PKA 3-6 President Ethan Lakip also stated that face-to-face classes were suspended due to the heat, forcing them to reschedule the UPIS days including the Field Demo.

The preparations that were made specifically for both the Field Demo and Powerdance event weren't just one thing— there were many plans and ideas that came along the way to be able to have the appropriate preparations, they reported. Additionally, the UPIS Executive Committee recommended holding the event indoors or under a roof due to the weather conditions, necessitating careful venue considerations.

"Our main priority was the health and safety of the students," Aguinaldo emphasized. She added that the PKA drafted a schedule for all Field Demo & Powerdance practices, adjusted for the high heat index and the shift to remote learning. They secured suitable shaded venues and managed extensive paperwork, including letters to secure venues and invitations to judges and the UP Diliman Chancellor, said Aguinaldo.

In addition to managing logistics, the PKA ensured thorough coordination with various parties, including the UPIS Executive Committee, Homeroom Advisers, and the students, to address any challenges and ensure a smooth and successful event.

Hey guys, Marion Jose U Buenviaje here

So I guess it’s safe to say I am the black sheep of the family.

It’s not in every aspect but I don’t think my siblings and I could be any more alike but at the same time different, call it a case of Jekyll and Hyde. We just took very different paths in life, which is the presentation that my sister recently gave to a group of classrooms in a high school in the Batangas national High school . I have two siblings that are uber-successful and I am a complete failure, or at least that is what I was on track to be, and I know it’s not too late to rewrite that narrative, but for now, it’s the reality

Being the black sheep is lonely & confusing. You wonder why you’re different yet not considered good or unique.

You do your own thing by defying the normal and the conventional.

Defying the norms comes with a price which you, being the black sheep, don’t consider a price in the very first place because you’ve been through a lot.

To an outsider, once you make it big, wonders how you stood fast. But to you, it was all normal & part of the process.

You might have been shamed, mocked, or ignored.

Since you can remember, you felt like didn’t belong. You felt like an outsider looking in and never acquiring the love, support, and sense of belonging that others get.

So maybe your sense of feeling like the black sheep was subtle and implicit—nothing directly said out loud but rather always a slight sense of the back of your mind and heart.

Or maybe your feeling of being the black sheep was more explicit and you were physically and relationally rejected by your family of origin, church, or early community, for who you are and how you move through the world.

However and for whatever reasons this may have manifested for you, many of us can identify with “the black sheep” archetype and, while this is predominantly a pejorative term in our collective lexicon, this post is all about reclaiming the power of that archetype—diving deep into what it may mean to be the so-called “black sheep” from both a cultural and psychological lens, exploring the pain of what it can mean to embody this archetype, but also the power, gifts, and opportunities it offers.

GALLIARD LITERA ✶ O9.23.2023

⎙⠀#𝒟ear𝑅eader⠀︴ LOG O6 。

֊ ❝ At the prime of sunlight, the world unfolded in a frame: I imagine the world resplendent as it blends hues of aqua and beige—diamond blues and grass greens and whites; clouds and bubbles played in the air as I search for a footing underneath, but all was a bed of nothing.

Wings—invisible but undeniably present, carried me effortlessly through the expanse. The air, so thin and purer than anything I had ever breathed, caressed my skin like my mother's touch.

Whether I was beneath or above the mundane planes, I soared and swam. Wisps of cumulus clouds danced like whitecaps. It smelled like fresh salt, so I may also be amongst a cerulean sea. The sun's golden strokes blotted my canvas with light.

I let myself be drowned; I let myself soar.

The sensation was otherworldly, as if the very sky-sea had become my playground. I weaved between the cloud-islands, and in my delusion, I was holding my pen as a wand. From my vantage point, I gazed upon the world, its mountains, rivers, and cities, all miniature beneath me.

I could write about anything.

I swim again through the vast sky-sea—the sun descending toward the horizon began to send its rays through a distant curtain of mist and rain.

An iridescent rainbow arched gracefully across my work.

The rainbow's colors were vibrant and enchanting, each hue shimmering with brilliance. It stretched from one end of the sky-sea to the other, like a bridge between worlds. Its presence filled the sky, and the bubbles made it glimmer like never before.

As I drew nearer, the colors intensified, each shade more vivid and surreal than the last. It was as though I could reach out and touch the very essence of color itself.

The rays dipped lower, casting long shadows across the sky-sea, I knew my time among the clouds was drawing to a close. Reluctantly, I began my ascent, leaving behind the world of wind and dreams to return to solid ground.

My dreams warp back to my seat, my back against a wooden chair. The breeze that hits me has a faint fragrance of father’s cooking. It is night.

I licked my lip and giggled—it was another try of world-building, and I will try again.

I dare dream.

And I will again.

So I will pick the pen up, write all about it, and hope that one day:

“It will come to me!” I remove the cap of the pen and scribble.

In my next writing, my dear reader, there you will be.

❞

UP Cherubim and Seraphim shines in summer concert “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing”

The UP Cherubim and Seraphim lit up the IBG-KAL Theater in their concert titled “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing” last May 11, 2024.

The UP Cherubim and Seraphim (UPCS), which was founded on September 21, 1971, is the official children’s choir of the University of the Philippines. According to its Director Emeritus Dr. Elena Mirano, former dean and Professor Emeritus of the College of Arts and Letters, “tonight is the culmination of a whole year that marks the coming together face to face, after four years, of our current group, who sang together virtually from their own homes throughout the pandemic, and during that time produced three concerts online.” The last solo in-person concert of the group, “Come Alive,” was held on March 7, 2020.

UP President Atty. Angelo Jimenez gave the opening remarks for the concert. “I’m very excited to be here to watch the Cherubim and Seraphim of the University of the Philippines, whom I’ve known since I was a freshman in UP back in ‘83.” He shared a few anecdotes of his experience growing up in the Manobo tribe surrounded by music, and how he enjoyed engaging with both the folk and contemporary music of his time.

“And I am very happy that our children—our kids, our young people, are singing today. Because I think that many of you in UP know my interest in the arts and culture,” Jimenez adds. “I truly believe that it is not a great idea that will move people. To move people, we have to have emotion, and emotion has to be driven by higher feelings. At least, it can help us move towards our dream, which should be, as a university, aligned with the nation’s deepest emotions, our people’s highest aspirations.”

After President Jimenez, Dr. Mirano also gave her own remarks, where she gave a brief preview of the flow of the program which she described as “serious, modern, and fun.”

The first part of the concert included classics from European repertoire. The first four songs were from John Rutter’s “Dancing Day,” a series of Christmas carols from the Middle Ages. They also performed Felix Mendelssohn’s “Laudate Pueri,” a song of praise written in Latin.

The second part comprised contemporary Filipino repertoire, and all songs in this section were written by composers from the UP College of Music. This segment opened with “Sa Dakong Sikatan” by Eudenice Palaruan, then three songs written by National Artist for Music Ramon Santos were also performed: “Dal’wang Sawikaing Pilipino,” “Handog sa Ina,” and “Batang Magalang.”

The third part of the concert featured more recent and popular songs—all with choreography. The last section began with “Top of the World,” originally sung by Shawn Mendes as part of the soundtrack of the movie “Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile,” and continued with “Don’t You Worry ‘bout A Thing” by Stevie Wonder, the concert’s title song. “You Will Be Found” from the musical Dear Evan Hansen, a song that was part of the repertoire in “Come Alive,” was also in this concert’s lineup. “Permission to Dance” by BTS brought out the K-Pop energy in the theater, and the choir closed out the concert by singing “Joyful, Joyful” from the movie Sister Act 2.

During the third part, the audience brought out white and purple lightsticks dubbed as “Cherubongs,” a mashup of “Cherubim” and the Korean colloquial suffix -bong, meaning “stick.”

Also in attendance at the concert were UP officials Vice President for Public Affairs Rolando Tolentino, Chancellor Carlo Vistan, Dean Jimmuel Naval of the College of Arts and Letters, Dean Jerome Buenviaje of the College of Education, Dean Pat Silvestre of the College of Music; and Mr. Ignacio Gimenez, the sponsor for whom the IBG-KAL Theater was named after. UPIS faculty members Assistant Principal for Academic Programs Dian Caluag, CA-EMA and SSH Cluster Head Cathy Atordido, and Ms. Kat Loyola were also present in the audience.

Behind this production were the UPCS music staff: Director Emeritus Elena Mirano, Associate Director Liya Dioquino, pianists Michelle Nicolasora and Samuel Silvestre, guitarist Luisa Dioquino, bassist Sage Ilagan, drummer Robin Rivera, choreographers Becca Silvestre and Sophia Maunahan, and program cover artist Hubert Fucio.

All in all, the concert ran for about two hours and ended with a repeat performance of “Don't You Worry ‘bout A Thing” as the encore.
