Dear all,
Ateneo de Manila University, represented by Ateneo Debate Society (ADS) members Sharmila Parmarand and Charisse Borromeo, won the first round of the Philippine Debating Championship on ABS-CBN News Channel’s (ANC) “Square Off” program on Aug. 1, 2007. The topic was “Should the government suspend the peace talks with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front as a result of the beheading of 10 Marine soldiers in Basilan?”
Taking the opposition or the negative side, Ateneo beat debaters from the Western Mindanao State University (WMSU), who took the government or affirmative side. Both schools are among 16 universities vying to represent the Philippines in the 2008 World Universities Debating Championships, the largest debating tournament in the world, on December 27, 2007 to January 5, 2008 at Assumption University, Thailand.
The other 14 universities are the University of the Philippines (UP) - Diliman, UP-Manila, De La Salle University, College of St. Benilde, University of Santo Tomas, University of Baguio, Ateneo de Zamboanga University, Ateneo de Davao University, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, San Beda College, UP-Baguio, Xavier University, Mindanao State University and Lyceum of the Philippines.
Regards,
Rashedul Hasan Stalin
