Palaro 2015 is the most awaited event for students of University of Southeastern Philippines, an event wherein students compete for their dearly colleges through using their representatives for try outs to pick the best players for a certain field.
Being able to play a single sport is not just one’s right to learn and enhance skills but also a big break in which not everybody’s event. Playing softball is not easy as 1, 2, 3. We’ll have to experience first the journey to hell and kisses of bruise before stepping on the field of competition. But in USEP, boys are not just the ones who will be in crucial mode of playing but also the girls who look like on fire competing to be the most valuable player of the University. College of engineering girls and college of technology boys won the trophy for the softball competition. I bet they were trained enough just to let us witness the best game that we won’t regret in our lives and if you were able to see the way they play with the field and fight to win, you will be amaze to see how crucial the game is. A lot of students shout for joy in every home they take, drop their jaws in every ball they hit and lose their sweat in every set they face.
After the game, players really feel exhausted because of the energy they gave in playing but in winning the game they also smell the aroma of success. There are times that they were defeated by their opponents but because of the double elimination rule they still had the chance to win, that’s why in the last game, they took the opportunity to win and surpass the competition. Some participants who did not won the game really feel disappointment thinking that their co-students may backstab them and for those who won, really felt great pleasure and vivacious.
Truly softball is not an easy game and USEP is one of the precious schools who have their softball competition. We should be proud that we are part or once part of USEP not just because of it is a high standard university but because of its uniqueness among the rest.

Among the others there are: badminton, baseball, bowling, swimming, wrestling, underwater diving, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, cockfighting, horse racing, motor racing, rugby, sepak takraw, and jai alai are also appreciated. With the sport of cockfighting being wildly popular in the Philippines, attracting large crowds who bet on the outcome of fights between the birds, and the sport itself a popular form of fertility worship among almost all Southeast Asians. Such sports activity as the sport of cockfighting, related to ritual forms of worship as practices and rituals of ancient worship intended for the blessings of the supernatural, as "in Indus Valley and other ancient civilizations, mother goddess had been invoked for fertility and prosperity" which included that religious cockfight lay as a prime example of "cultural synthesis of 'little' and 'great' cultures" due to religious syncretisms causing the loss for some of religious significance and hence a sport, while remaining for some as a form of ‘fertility worship’ and still for others as Baal or Baalim. On July 27, 2009, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed Republic Act No. 9850 into law, declaring Modern Arnis as the Philippine National Martial Art and Sport.

It’s a unique waterfalls dotting with different rock formations, shapes and various heights. Each tier differs from another. It ranges from 6 to 110 feet. There is one measured at 72 feet and another is at 67. Overall, Aliwagwag Falls is 1,110 feet of cascading energy and 20 meters in width. Viewing it from afar, Aliwagwag Falls looks like a stairway to heaven. The unmatched grandeur of Aliwagwag Falls seduces the tourists in exploiting its beauty, leaving them astonished in reverence.

Though spoiled by the inevitable catastrophic super typhoon Pablo on 2012, it gradually recovers from its grievous mauling to reshaping its mesmerizing exquisiteness.
Three years after that dreadful fate, the superb splendor of Cateel is yield to her regal state again – even ravishing and more amusing. Verdant forests surrounding it are pampered greens again.

This discreet attraction had been the haven for many people. It has it fair share of experiences and stories. It is important for us Filipinos to discover and explore our Mother land before exploiting foreign lands because it’s more fun in the Philippines!

geodesy or geodetic surveying, theory and practice of determining the position of points on the earth's surface and the dimensions of areas so large that the curvature of the earth must be taken into account. It is distinguished from plane surveying, the operations of which are executed without regard to the earth's curvature. In geodetic surveying, two points, called stations, many miles apart are selected, and the latitude and longitude of each is determined by astronomical means. The line between these two points, the base line, is measured with a high degree of accuracy. The position of a third station is determined by the angle it makes with each end of the base line. This process, called triangulation, is continued until the whole area to be surveyed is mapped. For indicating a triangulation station the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey uses a bronze disk suitably marked and having a projection on the bottom for anchoring it in concrete. Where the curvature of the earth is great or where there are hills or high trees between stations, towers are built so that one station may be seen from another. In recent years, artificial earth satellites have come into wide use as geodetic instruments. Shifts in the orbits of the satellites Explorer I and Vanguard I provided data by which geodesists corrected the value for the oblateness of the earth. This led to a program of geodetic satellites specifically designed to measure variations in the earth's gravitational field, and to determine the exact geographic position of points on the earth's surface. A triangulation station in space, the geodetic satellite, is photographed against the background of stars in order to compare accurately the relative positions of points on the earth.
