Dear all,
I didn’t get to watch the round but I was told that Xavier University (formerly known as Ateneo de Cagayan) beat the University of the Philippines Baguio in the fifth octofinal round of the Square Off! Debate Championships. Xavier becomes the first provincial school to advance to the quarterfinals after schools like Western Mindanao State University, Mindanao State University - Marawi City and University of Baguio failed to secure a slot in the next round. This is an upset of sorts. UP Baguio was the fifth seed in the competition while Xavier was the twelfth seed.
Xavier will face De Lasalle University in the quarterfinals. This is the second upset in five rounds so I guess that shows that anything can really happen.
Octofinal#5: Xavier (12) def. UP Baguio (5), unanimous
Octofinal#4: DLSU (4) def. Univ. of Baguio (13), split
Octofinal#3: PUP (14) def. UST (3), unanimous
Octofinals#2: UP Diliman (2) def. MSU-Marawi City (15), unanimous
Octofinals #1: ADMU (1) def. WMSU (16), unanimous
Next week: Ateneo de Zamboanga vs. UP Manila

I had watched the Philippine Debate Championship which impressed me that the Eagles(ADMU vs. ADZU) had gone it through to the last part. They had also beated the UP-Diliman-a prestigious university that has been the 398th top university over the world-wide..
It is very overwhelming that the show had gained acclamations and produced a vivid perception over the watchers..
I love watching shows like and hoping that there are still many to come..
It may invigorate others especially youths to tackle about the most common problems of our country..
I am mostly proud to the contenders/participants who showed their fidelity and sportsmanship which we can truly proclaim as genuine winners!!
God Bless...
