What was the first motion that you ever debated in? As in yung first?
Arg. I can't remember. I think it was when I was probee debater in the Circle. Hindi ko talaga maalala.
What was the last motion naman?
BNPP motion. Bigay ni Aids. Estelle visited UPM and she was on the other room adjing too!
Who was your first ever debate partner in your first ever debate tournament? What was your team letter then?
Carol Tan. NDC 06. D?
Who was your last debate partner in your last debate tournament? What was your team letter then?
Carol Tan ulet. We were A.
Did you progress naman from your first tourney to the last? Or have you been consistently banban? Be honest.
Yuck. Sige, mas naging strategic I think. Pero there's always something you feel you could have said after a round.
Which format do you prefer? BP, Asians, or Australs? Bakit naman?
BP siguro. Effort masyado ang Asians! At mas fun kung maraming kalaban. Competitive!
What is your most memorable round so far in your debate career? Why?
Most memorable? Siguro PIDC 08 round 7. Estelle made us lose! *Hi Estelle.* At dahil dun, stress ang break night. At dahil gago si Aids, he hinted we won't break. And Yves goes, it's okay, you did what you could. Buti na lang may swerte pa rin sa mundo.
What was the hardest room that you've ever been in? Kamusta naman?
Semis NDC 08? Pakshet na Atheist motion. At grabe ang psych powers ni Jowee sa likod ni Joeven (the chair). With the head tilt, an eyebrow raised, and mouthing: eeeehhh?
Sinong gusto mong makadebate na hindi mo pa nadebate noon? Pwedeng present debater or one of the ancients. At Bakit?
Aloy-Aids-Yves team. Dati nanaginip ako na nag-iron man daw ako, solo vs Aloy-Aids-Yves. Tapos natalo ko sila. I woke up crying. Yuck!
May naging crush ka ba sa debate community?
Hehe.
Nagawa mo na bang pumunta sa isang tourney para lang masulyapan ang, at possibly makipaglandian sa, crush mo?
Para lang sa crush? Baka si Nicolo or Yves. Hehe. Debate ang motivation lagi. Hehe.
What was your most banban round ever? Anung kabanbanan ang ginawa mo?
Er, fine. NDC 08 semis. Eh kasi naman wala talaga kaming maisip na debate, kaya pinilit ang debate sa academe. Ayan, fail.
Do you have a debate grudge against someone?
Dati, oo. Sa adjes more in particular. Pero I realized may mga grepa talagang adjes, pero may mga adjes na tama din naman yung analysis, iba lang ang priorities at school of thought.
Debate Grudge against an institution?
Wala naman.
Weh, sinong debater ito?
Hehe.
At anong institution ito?
Hehe na rin.
Did you ever have an 'upset' moment? Pwedeng kayo ang na-upset o kayo ang nag-upset.
Does ANC Square-off count? Pakshet, hindi ako nanalo ever.
Was it justified naman ba?
Ayoko nang isipin. Stress.
Which is a perfect segue to my next question: Have you ever been adjed by a banban adj?
I guess. Dati, super hard feelings. Pero once you start adjing debates, marerealize mo na iba ang perspectives ng debater and ng adjes. Kaya in retrospect, baka bitter brat lang ako nun.
Pakiexplain. Anu pala ang ginawa niya sayo?
Not understanding the argument just because it was too brilliant. Yuck! May bitterness pa pala.
Personally, ano dapat ang gagawin sa mga banban na adj?
I-crucify! Hehe. Joke lang. Eh, i-train, i guess.
What was your favorite break night ever?
Hmmm... Sige na nga, PIDC 08. Kasi nga surprising break eto. In fairness, may value ang panggagago ni Aids.
And why?
Eh, naexplain ko na.
Do you have any debate ritual?
Besides the usual, varsity shout before a day's series of rounds, and the usual UPM themed shirts, may way din ako ng pagsusulat ng motions, rounds, and rooms (yuck, gaya-gaya).
Did it help you break naman?
Siguro.
Do you look forward to being an adjudicator once you graduate from your debate career?
Look forward? Siguro.
Have you ever debated oregon oxford?
Nope.
Kunwari tao si oregon oxford at si britparl. Anu kaya ang sasabihin ni britparl kai oregon oxford?
Sino ka?
May magic mirror at kaharap mo si parliamentary debating. Anu ang sasabihin mo sa kanya, bilang conclusion sa survey na ito?
Pakshet ka. Ninakaw mo ang mga hapon ko, summers ko, sembreaks ko, at minsan, christmas breaks ko. At weekends ko pa pala. Was it worth it? I don't know. I just remember how it feels to debate, and I remember feeling good.
