Sports don’t build character they reveal it.

Dear guests, teachers, parents, fellow students and friends a wonderful morning and welcome to the
opening ceremony of our intramurals this school year 2019-2020.

Today, marks the beginning of our week-long activity, the Hinampang 2019.

To begin with let’s all rise for the prayer to be led by Lawrence Bico and please stay on your feet for
the singing of the Pambansang awit to be conducted by Angel Mae dela Cruz and the singing of the
Iloilo City Hymn and the school hymn.

To officially open this morning’s event, let’s give a resounding applause to Mr. Ricky C. Pilar, Principal
II for his words of welcome.

Thank you Sir.

Commencing the games with the lighting of the torch has been a tradition.

And ladies and gentlemen, the torch that symbolizes peace, unity, friendship, tolerance and hope will
be lighted by, no other than, MARIANNE DUMAHOD, a track and field athlete.

Thank you, and may the flames that symbolize its message keep on burning in our hearts as we
participate in HINAMPANG 2019.

The mark of great sportsmen is not how good they are at their best, but how good they are at their
worst.

Real winners are those who know how to persevere and behave with dignity — whether they win or
lose a game.

And to show our commitment in exercising all these, let’s have VAL DAVID SUBIBI, Supreme Student
Government President to lead us in our oath of sportsmanship.

OATH OF SPORTMANSHIP

Please raise your right hand and repeat after me.

We, the athletes, representing the different curriculum participating in the Hinampang 2019 of Bo.
Obrero National High School, do hereby declare that we are amateurs and do pledge ourselves to
compete in the games in the spirit of true sportsmanship. So help me God.

Thank you, may we value and show good sportsmanship by respecting our teammates, opponents,
and officials from the beginning of the activity ‘til it ends.

Humility and camaraderie are developed during competitions. And since everyone is ready to
cultivate these, I’d like to request the president of every council and of course, our dynamic principal
Mr. Ricky C. Pilar to be here in front for the symbolic tossing of the friendship ball.

Thank you very much!

May everyone of us bear in our minds and our hearts the main reasons why we are participating in
this year’s intramurals.

It is evident that each one is excited for the games and competitions.

(Let’s see how excited they are. Senior High School students where are you?................... What
about the grade 7 students…………………………. Grade 10 students are you here?, Let’s hear the voices
of the grade 9 students and of course the grade 8 students………………………….

Well, the long wait is over since we have come to the most awaited moment of everyone, the
declaration of the opening of Hinampang 2019 by Mr. Ricky C. Pilar, Principal II.

Thank you very much everyone. Just play, have fun, enjoy whatever the games and competitions
bring and be winners with hearts and brains.

Good morning and let the fun begin!!!!
