After a month-long preparation, the MMSU Debate Society produced its first-ever international champions at the UHAMKA Muhammadiyah Aisyiyah International Competition (MAIN) in Jakarta, Indonesia, last August 4โ7.
Two teams, composed of six BS Psychology students, competed in the Psy-Debate category. Team 1, composed of Samuel Bermudez, Nicole Puod, and Von Pablo, emerged as Grand Champions. They successfully defended the motion: "๐๐๐๐จ ๐๐ค๐ช๐จ๐ ๐ฝ๐๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐๐จ ๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ช๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ช๐ง๐๐จ ๐๐๐ค๐ช๐ก๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐ก๐ฎ ๐ฟ๐๐จ๐๐ก๐ค๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ก ๐๐๐๐ก๐ฉ๐ ๐พ๐ค๐ฃ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ."
Meanwhile, Team 2 comprising Ian Rocutan, Josh Fagaragan, and Feanna Casil boosted MMSU's strong campaign with a semi-finals finish.
The Mariano Marcos State University Debate Society stands proud of this achievement.
