for lectures… like lahi-lahi jod among time so it’s really difficult for us to meet,” he expressed.
Bolanio also added that they were nervous because there were two more opposing units compared to last year’s competition as a result of the division of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS).
“... Ang amo lang jod [nga goal] is we are able to showcase our very best and we’re able to deliver a performance with no
regrets,” he concluded.
