11 - A Surprise Birthday Celebration

After getting the 2nd place in the slam poetry contest, we were told that we will once again performing our piece for someone at the MPH1. Without knowing what is the purpose of the event, we still rehearsed our piece in preparation. At first, we’ve thought that there will be another competition for the slam poetry but it turns out that it is for a surprised birthday celebration for one of the famous artists in GMA network, Mr. Benjamin Alvez last March 18, 2016.


In the beginning, I was left confused because there are cameras and microphones that are placed in the different corners of MPH1. Then suddenly Mr. Benjamin arrived to celebrate his birthday in our school, a bit surprising am I right? Then Me, Jem, Cylord and the other winners in the last competition once again presented their speeches in front of him. After that, he also presented his own piece that he made for someone a year ago. 

It was an honor for us to perform our speech in front of a large number students, and to Mr. Benjamin Alves who loves poems. I hope that there will be more events like this in future as it gives the students a different kind of experience that they can share to their friends.
