Relacion, Stand Up and Deliver champion 2014

Mark Jayson M. Relacion, 2nd year BSBM student brought honor to STI College Balayan as the national champion in Tagisan ng Talino Stand Up and Deliver impromptu speech competition last March 6 at STI Ortigas, Cainta.

Though hopeful about winning, he never expected to be the national champion and he was completely astounded when he was called. Relacion said that he felt defeated right after the delivery of his speech but still he never lost hope. “Like the question given, if you truly want something the universe will help you in achieving it. I believe the universe helped me because I started to believe more in my abilities and that is why I got the championship with the help of my coach Miss Terranya M. Tiamson, my family and the STI College family. Thank you”, Relacion summed up.

Stand-up and Deliver is an impromptu speech competition where each entrant is given a topic, then the entrant is given one and a half minute to prepare a speech to be delivered in three minutes. Relacion won over the cluster champions from STI Marikina, STI Recto, STI Puerto Princesa, STI San Pablo, STI Balagtas, STI Baguio, STI Bacolod, STI Tagum and STI Cagayan de Oro.
