For Team Sadness, we only need one soul to carry the weight of all the emotional damage โ€” and thatโ€™s ๐•„๐• ๐”ฝ๐•๐• ๐•ฃ๐•–๐•ค.

MJโ€™s track record speaks louder than words (even if those words might make you cry).

When MJ speaks, it's like listening to a MMK โ€” heartfelt, devastating, pero hindi mo kayang tigilan. Every point lands like a gut punch, and every rebuttal feels like the final scene of a sad movie. But donโ€™t be fooled โ€” behind all that sadness is a fighter who never backs down from a debate!

-SIPDC 2023 โ€” Semi-Finalist (College Category)
-St. Paulโ€™s Week Debate 2024 โ€” 1st -Runner-Up (College Category)
-BSDT 2024 โ€” Grand Champion (College Category) โ€” 2nd Best Speaker
-St. Paulโ€™s Week Debate 2025 โ€” 1st Runner-Up (College Category)
SIPDC 2025 โ€” Quarter Finalists (College Category)

Even in sadness, greatness shines through.

๐ŸŒง Letโ€™s hype up MJ โ€” ang ating one-person emotional support team, ready to turn sadness into victory!

SURIGAO CITY, SURIGAO DEL NORTE โ€” Students of Surigao del Norte State University (SNSU) and members of SNSU Debate Society made a mark in debate by winning the Champion and 1st Runner-Up titles at the recently held 1st Batang Surigaonon Debate Tournament 2024 last December 7-8, 2024 at the City Cultural Center.

SNSU G, the newly crowned Champion, put on a flawless performance that made an impression on the judges and audience. The team was led by Syrille Elape, a BSED English 4A student, alongside MJ Luis Flores, a BSCE 2B student.

The second team, SNSU B, secured the 1st Runner-Up position. The team consisted of Ehzier Jade Lacia, a BSTM 2A student, and John Cloed Co**ha, a BSED English 2A student whose performance demonstrated SNSUโ€™s depth of talent and unwavering determination.

The third team who emerged as Grand Finalists also includes, Ms.Nina Baybayon (Ab el 2) and Leonard Benzal (Bsed Eng 2A).

Joining the ranks of the winners for the individual awards are:

DEBATERS
1. Syrille M. Elape - OVERALL 1st BEST Speaker
2. Mj Luis Flores - OVERALL 2nd BEST Speaker
3. Nina Baybayon - OVERALL 3rd BEST Speaker

A resounding success that would not be made possible without the support of the SNSU Debate Society Adviser and coach, Ms. Cristine Madelo. Who, through the years, remained steadfast with her commitment of shaping young minds in analyzing hypercritical issues of the status quo.

The Batang Surigaonon Debate Tournament 2024 brought together the best young minds from the city to engage in thought-provoking discussions on critical issues. SNSUโ€™s success in securing the top two spots is a testament to its commitment to fostering intellectual growth and leadership among its students.

Kudos to all the participants and winners of the Batang Surigaonon Debate Tournament 2024!
