There were no words to describe, no more
choreographs to dissect, no more actions to scrutinize. There was only the
Business Management division, the victors, the one and only standing tall and
proud.
It was an intercultural experience as
the nine divisions brought the eager crowd around the globe with their
magnanimous performances exported from the four corners of the world.
It was nothing but success as the
three-day 66th Ateneo de Davao University (AdDU) College Fiesta culminated with
a boom and a bang – that is in the form of the Sayawtenista 2014.

Hours before the start of the event, the
Martinez Sports Complex in AdDU Matina was already jam-packed with the people
who have witnessed the taking place of a history.
Students from the nine divisions hoped
and prayed for the victory of their respective entries but in the end, there
was only one who has withstood all the strategies and energies consumed by the other eight.
The Accountancy division first took the
stage with the atmosphere of the ancient Egyptian culture.
The Humanities and Letters division
tried to outshine the latter through their well-rehearsed Chinese performance.
Third to present was the Viva, Español
performance of the School of Education as they brought the audience to the
culture of the Kingdom of Spain, highlighting Flamenco, dance sports, and the
tap-dance.
The Natural Sciences and Mathematics
division recapitulate the traditional Filipino culture as they represented our
very own country, the Philippines. Included in their presentation were a
katutubong sayaw, Tinikling, the different tribes, and some props including the
wild boar and saging (banana). The story revolves around a topic of pang-aabuso
sa kalikasan or abuse of nature. This made them grab the second place.
The Computer Sciences division presented
the United State of America on the other hand with a theme of time travel.
Hip-hop was also highlighted.
The Social Sciences division was all
fiesta-like as they included Carnaval in their representation of the
Latin-American country of Brazil, with matching Samba, which made them third
placers.
Eighth to present was the Business
Management division, the victors which portrayed the richness of the Muslim
culture in Malaysia, particularly a love story. The intricate hand movements of
the female dancers as well as their face expressions and body gestures captured
the heart of the crowd, which made them catch the Golden Snitch.
The BM division also conquered last
year’s edition of Sayawtenista.
Last to perform was the School of Engineering
and Architecture. They successfully represented the exotic culture of Mongolia
through their fierce dance moves.
It will be another prolonged year before
the dawn of yet another era of like ambiance. One thing is for sure then, that
burning drive of excitement will still live in our hearts and when the moment
of truth comes again, that nostalgia will yet be relived.
The question is, will the BM division
make it to the Hall of Fame and clinch the grand slam for Sayawtenista next
year?
Nine divisions. Only one victor. Who
will triumph next year as each struggle for the moment of truth?
Are you ready?
