Update on GSB Olympics: Basketball and Volleyball

Came November 8 and the Makati Student Council started the event with an opening ceremony as attended by Vice-Dean, Prof. Pia Manalastas, who gave the opening remarks while the president of the Makati Student Council, Mr. John Paolo Jose, gave the Introduction of the event. Sportsfest is indeed a good avenue not just to improve physical endurance but furthermore to establish good rapport among students. The events are widely participated by all campuses: Makati, Manila, and Ortigas. Also we have invited the DBA (those who are taking doctoral in business) degree students, MBA-JD (those who are taking the law and MBA course), and the alumni of GSB. The first day featured the games between Ortigas and Alumni, which favored the latter. Then followed by MBA-JD and Manila, the game also favored the latter team with such intense scoring results.

In its second streak, two events are held on November 15 and these were volleyball and basketball. Basketball aligned its first game between Ortigas and Manila which gave another win to the latter team. On the second game of basketball, it seemed that the winning remained in favor with Alumni. This made both Alumni and Manila teams with 2 consecutive triumphs while putting Makati, Ortigas, and MBA-JD in upset. Meanwhile, the mix team of volleyball have a best of 3 game between MBA and MBA-JD only. For th first face-off, MBA-JD left the MBA in an instant shock of beating. Due to that, MBA toned their muscles a bit and gave MBA-JD two consecutive defeats which gained them the prize as best team in volleyball.

The days are indeed excruciating but definitely exciting, tomorrow will be the bowling and billiards game at MOA. Wondering who will be our winners and losers? Come and visit us at 1000H in at the Bowling Center, ground floor of the mall. See you!
