STP-UPLB resident members along with their alumni joined the annual College of Human Ecology sports fest entitled ACHEAN 2017: SIGLO. The theme was based on the different marginalized sectors of our society, wherein our organization represented the farmers and proudly waved the banner of team “TALA”.
This year STP-UPLB belonged to the Red team together with UP OIKOS (OIKOS) and UP Family Development Society (FDSOC). Various ball games and philippine games were held during the event every friday and saturday which lasted about a month long March to April.
The Red team may not have won every game but together we were able to bring home the title of Over-all Champion winning Women’s Basketball, Men’s Volleyball, Ultimate Frisbee, Futsal, Patintero, Agawan Panyo, Sipa Ball, and Araw or Gabi.
STP-UPLB’s Mr. an Ms. ACHEAN representatives also grabbed the gold. They were declared as Best in Talent and with Althea Tagala crowned as Ms. ACHEan 2017 and Lolec Timbreza as 1st Runner-up.
As the ACHEAN ended we were able to forge friendships with our teammates, OIKOS and FDSOC, and at the same time strengthen the camaraderie not only within our organization but with various organizations stated in our college.
