An-anaao Integrated   School cultural dancers added another feather in their cap as they garnered first runner-up during the Culminating Program of Buwan ng Wika-Folk Dance Competion held on September 6, at Bangued West Central School.

The winning team which is composed of Princess Krystal Faye Reyes, Reign Nicole Tuzon, Efren Tollas and Rez Averi Echave confidently showed off their gracefulness as they shook their legs to the tune of Pantomina Mayor.

“It was an incredible opportunity to represent AIS and we are so happy bring honor to her,” Reyes said.

The said dancers were trained by their coach, Mr. Janssen P. Millare.

“It gives us great pride and joy to share that our students of AIS have performed exceptionally well,” coach Millare, said.

Arjay Bolesa of An-anaao Integrated School swept all other runners in the 1500-meter dash during the 2018 Unit Meet held on October 17 at Poblacion, Tayum, Abra.

Bolesa was the last in the line when the signal started but as they reached the 800 meters mark he topped the race. It was toe-to-toe competition between the runners and Bolesa finished first, over 2 minutes behind the other.  

Coach Roberto Sanchez said that he never doubted Bolesa’s skill. “Arjay proves that even he is the smallest in the group of runners he is capable to show great strength. Moreover, long distance races are tough because it doesn’t only test one’s speed but one’s agility and after the race you can notice that Arjay was not that exhausted,” Mr. Sanchez said.

 “Being the first finisher of the race means that I need to prepare myself for the next track field that I will conquer and that is the Provincial Meet and I hope I can bring home the gold medal for Unit 11,” Bolesa said.

Bolesa had  been capped as one of the best runner of AIS. In addition, he has been competing several running events since his intermediate years. Thus, this proves that he is already experienced in this area.
