2016 Intramural Games

The Interworld Colleges Foundation, Inc. (ICF) celebrated the 2016 Intramural Games last September 13-16, 2016 with the theme “Intramural Exercise: A Channel to Self Discovery and Interpersonal Growth and Development.” It was held at Paniqui Public Auditorium and Doña Lualhati Cojuangco Gymnasium.

The day started with the parade around the town assisted by the ICF Drum and Lyre Corps followed by the ICF family – students from elementary, junior and senior high school, college department, as well as the teachers and staffs. They all attended to show their support and appreciation for the opening celebration of the 2016 Intramural Games.

The parade started at 7:45 am in little Quezon (in front of ICF Annex) and ended at the Paniqui Public Auditorium. While the students were entering the auditorium, the masters of ceremony acknowledged every department and you can see the happiness and excitement on their faces. Every supporter went directly to the bench, choosing the possible best spot to watch.

The official opening program was started by a prayer, followed by the singing of the Philippine National Anthem and ICF Hymn, led by Ms. Jessica P. Flores (a high school teacher) and assisted by the ICF Drum and Lyre Corps. Dr. Florentina F. Aquino, the college guidance counselor, gave her welcome address. The lighting of the torch was done by Vivien dela Cruz from Accountancy Department and the pledge of amateurism was led by SBO President Daryl Facun.
