KAMPILAN DIVISION HOLDS PALARONG PINOY 2015

Camp Siongco, Awang, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao – As the second semester of the year starts, the 6th Infantry (Kampilan) Division welcomes the rainy season with warmth and loud cheers through the conduct of an inter-unit/office sportsfest  that was participated in by the different offices and post units of the division headquarters. 

There were four competing teams: Yellow under the leadership of MGen Edmundo R Pangilinan; Red under Col Dickson P Hermoso ; Violet under BGen Manolito P Orense  and Blue team under Col Romeo S Brawner.

During the opening ceremony (01 August 2015), the different teams clad in their uniforms paraded in front of the 6ID grandstand and were led by their team captains and muses signalling the start of the activity. Each team also presented their well-decorated floats which were inspired by the theme “Palarong Pinoy”.

After the opening ceremony, a cheer dance competition followed wherein the top spot was bagged by the Yellow team followed by the red team, the blue team and the violet team. 

Other awards such as the Best Muse and the Best Float were won by the Red team. 

The teams then competed in the palarong pinoy which was composed of  kadang-kadang,  palosebo,  patintero and  gulong relay.

In his message, the Commander 6ID MGen Edmundo R Pangilinan said that it is always fun to unwind after a very hectic and tough first semester. 

He said that the sportsfest is intended for everyone to be able to practice esprit-de-corps and camaraderie among their team mates as well as to awaken the competitive spirit of the officers and personnel of 6ID in terms of sports and Filipino traditional games.

The sporstfest is expected to culminate by the end of August wherein the winners for the ball games will also be announced as well as the over-all champion for the  sportfest.
