AN INTERVIEW WITH MEDELLIN AND BALAMBAN

With the 4-day long Intramurals 2017, athletes, some teachers and staff from CNU Balamban and Medellin packed their bags and stayed under the roof of CNU Main campus. The university allotted to them the second and third floor of the ASAB Building as their sleeping quarters.

"Mas accommodating nasiyakay di parehas sauna namaglisud mi sa water," Medellin SSG President ZheilResuera answered when asked about their week-long stay. She said that the athletes had to wake up at 3a.m. just to take a bath or wait until noon just to shower before. She even narrated having to sleep on plywoods before and was grateful that sleeping mats are now provided. Apparently, things have changed for the better.

Aires Cabalida, SSG Secretary of CNU Balamban shares the same delight.

"Nice siya. Wala mi biyaesaamung dean ug coaches," she said.

She also commended the efforts of the canteen staff for serving the food on time. She had no qualms about the past. The Main campus has always treated them well.

Resuera, however, shares her sentiments on how the Main students used to receive them.

"Naka-trigger sa conflict between CNU Medellin and Main kayang word nga 'taga-bukid'." She admitted that they had grudges about that.

"I think saintramsjudnakaydidtora man nasa word na 'taga-bukid'. Mura ugnahugna 'Hala, naanasadangmgataga-bukid ay.'" She emphasized.

But everything is fine now according to her. "Okay najudsiyakarun, accommodating naangtanan," she added, smiling.

When asked whether they are satisfied with the performance shown by their athletes "Of course, yes they exerted their efforts jud to the max jud. As in.Angkutobsailangmakaya."Cabalida said.

Resuera, on the other hand said that this is their best Intramurals so far. The Medellin team already garnered gold, silver and bronze medals. "So far, samgaduwa okay rajudsiya at least ma third or ma second dilijudingonngawalajudka place ba. Mas sakitnganaakasika-fifth niyakungkibawkanadapat mas ni thrive pa ka."

Resuera also share to us thelack of their resources, hampering their team to strive for gold. The Medellin placed third last year. She expressed their team's desire to achieve for more but their financial insufficiency held them back.

"Amo athletes karonwana provide-an ugpagkaon.
