The Information Campaign/Corpcom 11
class of Mme. Lilu Alino organized a health and fitness campaign through
exercise called “Campus Fit” with the theme: “Move for wellness and thrive for
wholesome relationships.”
The theme conveys a message of
flocking the students, faculty and staff, and school administration and
encouraging them to move and exercise together for a healthier mind and body.
“Part of the information campaign
class requirement is the actual planning and implementation of an identified
problem or issue. This gives the students a chance to apply concepts and hone
their skills in planning and execution, creative and production based on a real
situation. In the process they reinforce values of unity, cooperation, hard
work, determination, and resourcefulness. They identify strengths and weaknesses
and be able to evaluate their work,” Mme. Alino said.
“Campus Fit not only served as a
starting point for a healthier lifestyle for the whole institution, but it also
paved the way to a more united Theresian community. Seeing my fellow Theresians
dance and have fun together gives me more reasons to miss my alma mater once I
graduate from college,” Deneb Batucan, one of the organizers of the campaign
said.
Zumba, a Latin-inspired dance
fitness work-out, is a fun, upbeat and popular exercise routine that was
featured during the Campus Fit Opening last September 12, 2012 at the
auditorium along with the College students.
Mme. Lita Quisumbing, a famous dance
instructor for Hiphop, Jazz, Yoga and Zumba in Las Vegas and Cebu, was hired to
teach and bust some unique dance moves with the students. She is also an alumna
of STC.
When asked about the first time she
taught Zumba in STC she answered: “I enjoyed every minute. The students’ energy
and enthusiasm inspired me to give my all!”
Aside from the warm welcome of Zumba
by the College department, Campus Fit also made its way to the Intramurals. The
information campaign class held a one hour Zumba session at the sunken court on
day one of Pakiglambigit 2012. Staff members, guests and students from the
three departments gathered at the venue to dance with Mme. Quisumbing.
The fun didn’t stop on the last day
of Pakiglambigit 2012 as high school and College students, and members of the
faculty jived to the modern tunes as they followed Mme. Quisumbing and Veronica
Enriquez with her daughter Rebecca Enriquez who both work at Holiday Gym Spa.
“The rain added to the fun,” said Jessica
Anne Rubio, a 2nd year high school student.
The campaign was sponsored by Get
Fit restaurant, STC and Globe Telecom. The last Zumba session was topped off by
a raffle of globe tattoo broadbands.
