Ever hoped to spend this year's Valentine's Day having to do physical activities that allow you to love our culture and have fun? Well, guess what? APEC has got it all for you!

This second day of fun week, February 14, 2023, marks the start of the first batch of Palarong Pinoy: Agawang Panyo and Patintero. Registered student members for each game competed against others' teams from different sections. Both Agawang Panyo and Patintero had four (4) sets. The first two (2) sets had three (3) rounds each, while the last two (2) sets were labeled as the semi-finals and finals. Semi-finals had 2 rounds, while the finals had the last and only, key to determining the games' champion. 

The first round of Patintero's semi-finals focused on Grade 11 Vs Grade 12. The second round was between Grade 8 and Grade 10. Grade 10 and Grade 12 were those who won, therefore, they were able to advance to the finals. Would you like to guess who gained the title of Patintero Champion? If you answered Grade 12 (ABM), then you are right! On the other hand, Agawang Panyo's semi-finalists composed of B09-10-S1-2 and Grade 12 (ABM). The final match was described to be "tight" and was finally won by B09-10-S1-2.

“It was really nerve-wracking at first but in the end, it was a really fun experience. I would highly recommend agawang panyo to other teens since it can help you exercise your body and it can also help you socialize."

“Both were very good and fun games. I would definitely play that game again!"
