The Ritarians could not hide the excitement and enjoyment in their faces when the Intramurals 2019 started last September 30 to October 4, 2019. The annual celebration of Lambigit has become a tradition to everyone since it was the fusion of the intramural and commemoration of the founding anniversary of the school. This year’s theme was “JEEPGY: Justice and Peace, Ecological Integrity, Engaged Citizenship, Poverty Alleviation, Gender Equality and Youth Empowerment'' where it promoted the core values of a Ritarian, the equal strength in sports and intelligence of the youth inside and outside the school premises. The administration prepared programs for the whole week of celebration that entertained Ritarians and visitors from the first to the last day. The parade started at exactly 8 o’ clock in the morning where all the departments wear their colorful shirts that says SRCB is my home with their beautiful and handsome representatives for Mr. and Ms. Ambassador 2019 wearing their JEEPGY inspired headdress and back dress while holding their program banners. Afterwards, every one showed their talents, efforts, and energies to their field demonstration, mass dance, and Zumba presentations. The ball games started on the second day, October 1, 2019, where all the departments were very eager to win the qualification matches to be part of the championship games. All players were present and even the supporters to witness the friendly games between the students. The basketball and volleyball games were held in front of the provincial hospital since the school’s Audi-gym was not yet available while softball, badminton, takraw, and other games were held at the school grounds. Every program picked the best of the best players for every game to make it to the championships. On the night of, the second day of intramurals, the Junior High School students had their Junior High School Night wherein they wore white shirts so their classmates and friends could write messages to it and afterwards, they had a praise jam and water gun party.

On October 2, 2019, the third day of intramurals, was the beginning of the championship games and the tension between the different programs were felt. Later that night, the Senior High School had their Senior High School Night where they had Color Me Run within the poblacion area of the town and went back to the school wherein the firemen were waiting for them with a fire truck. Then they had a little program to enjoy the rest of the night. The next day, October 3, 2019, the fourth day of Lambigit 2019, the college students were very excited for their College Night. Aside from Kicks 2019: A Modern Dance Competition arranged by the Performing Arts Club, the highlight for the College Night is the search for Mr. and Ms. Ambassador 2019. The supporters prepared their banners, balloons, and drums for their bets and representatives to show their support. Unfortunately, unexpected things happened. The weather was not in their favour. The activity was paused and was continued at the Hospitality Management Laboratory and so the Q and A proceeded. The winners for Mr. and Ms. Ambassadors were announced but were not crowned yet since the organizers believe that their candidates deserved to be crowned in a formal manner. The most awaited day of the week is the last day, October 4, 2019. It was a celebration for Family Day. Families from elementary and high school showcased their talents. The winners for Mr. and Ms. Ambassador were formally crowned. Miss Ambassadress 2019 is Ms. Christine Rose Agcopra from Teacher Education Program and Mr. Ambassador 2019 is Mr. Mike June Zaballero from the Information Technology Program. The Junior and Senior High School also had their JEEPGY inspired headdress competition. There was also zumba and band presentation that made the crowd more alive and energetic. Before continuing the night event, the Ritarians had prayer for families in the world. This year’s celebration was fun for everyone and what makes it fantastic is that all Ritarians participated.
