Call time for several categories was set at 3:00am at the World Trade Center (WTC) while the logistics and support group was 2:00am at the Quezon Drive, UST campus. Sleep? Zombie that's what it is ;}
The organizers of the competition have improved compared to last year’s event but the flow of time management and sudden changes in competition schedule necessitates more improvement.
Several participants have prepared well for the competition as early as July 15. While the majority crammed a week before and several a few days before the event. Clearly, solely coaching all the participants is overwhelming given their regimented schedule of lab and lec subjects, giving out recipes and coercing them to practice and the most concern of everyone-financial support...indeed makes you feel like hitting the high notes of Pavarotti!
Initially intimidated, our participants witnessed the well funded and well prepared competitors but I told them "not to worry because they are intimidated by our presence as well."
There was no faculty member to relieve me during the 3-day event which is nothing new considering that I saw to it that the entire support group got into the UST bus at 3:00am to go to WTC and left the venue back to UST at 7:00pm. Thanks to Asst. Professor Mhel Torres, HRM Chairperson who stayed with us during the first day of competition.. On the last day of the competition ITHM Director Cecilia Tio Cuison and Mhel Torres made a short visit by mid afternoon.
A few things to keep in mind when participating in rigid competitions such as these…
