BY MDPN. ANGELO RYAN D. GILTENDEZ
John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation - Bacolod (JBLCF-B) College Red Cross Youth (CRCY) has emerged victorious, securing back-to-back Overall Champion at the Red Cross Youth Camp 2023, last November 3-5. JBLCF-B CRCY claimed the trophy after winning over stiff competitions from 24 councils across Negros Occidental, which featured two major events, namely Hinugpong and Hinampang, encompassing cultural and sports competitions. The council triumphed in the Hinugpong Competition such as Hataw Sayaw Hiphop Dance, Tinig ng RCY Vocal Solo, MTV Parody, and Kabandataan Acoustic Band, securing 1st Runner-Up in Character Impersonation. Standing tall as the Hinampang Overall Champion, the council showcased their athletic prowess and competitive spirit by claiming victories in events like Tug of Peace and securing
top positions in Sack Race, Snake Run, Basketball 3v3 Boys, and Egg Catch. Spearheaded by E/C Nelson Cagalawan, the current President of the council, the team showcased their commitment to preserving the institution’s legacy as the ‘Home of Champions.’ “The council wants to keep the fire burning inside the hearts of every Lacsonian volunteer and bring honor and pride to the institution. We aim to defend our reigning title from the previous RCY Camp in 2019,” stated E/C Cagalawan. Mae Yrish Salazar, a CRCY member, expressed her satisfaction with the well-planned and coordinated event saying, “During the three days of the event, there was excellent leadership and members’ participation. Everything was well-thought-out, organized, and executed to ensure triumph.” The council’s success wasn’t without challenges, Salazar highlighted the tense awarding moment, stating, “We were on the edges of our seats since
the competition was head-to-head. After the announcement, happiness was an understatement for what we have felt. We defended the title despite facing many challenges before and during the event.” The JBLCF-B CRCY’s triumph not only brings honor to the institution but also exemplifies the spirit of excellence, teamwork, and leadership among its members. “Teamwork and unity have always been part of the JBLCF-B CRCY Council and this is the trademark of this success,” Cagalawan emphasized. “The key to our organization’s success is having a positive team culture that embraces diversity of thought to foster innovation in all aspects and creates unwavering coordination for the team,” Cagalawan added. Under the theme, “RCY Unbounded: Optimizing Youth Engagement in Red Cross 143,” the Red Cross Youth Camp continues to carry out its mission to the youth volunteers around the province.
