Since somebody already tackled Choral Competitions,let me share UST Action Singers' achievements for the past years.

This is quoted from MB's archive:

"Since 1993, the group earned 20 top prizes in the international choral competitions in Gorizia, Italy and Tours, France (1998); Tolosa, Spain (1995); Llangollen, United Kingdom (1993 and 1995) and Lindenholzhausen, Germany (1993).

In 1995, the UST Singers won the Choir of the World Grand Prize at the 49th Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in Wales, United Kingdom, the first and only Asian choir to achieve such prestigious honor in the 53-year history of the Eisteddfod.

The group also capped the 1998 Gran Premio “Citta di Gorizia” at the 37th Concorso Internazionale di Canto Corale “C.A. Seghizzi” held in Gorizia, Italy besting 21 international entries.

The group will be the special guest in the 100th year anniversary celebration of the “MGV Arion Nombron” conducted by famous German musician, Hubertus Weimer in June and at the 25th anniversary concert of the Bayer Leverkeusen Choir in September."

Truly a world class feat!

[vincho]

Here's some Historical info on La Sallian excellence:

Who is the ONLY student that TOPPED both the CPA and BAR Examinations in the Philippines?

La Sallian Jose W. Diokno(HS'37, BSC'40) who TOPPED the CPA Board Exams for De La Salle in 1940 and then also TOPPED the BAR Exams in 1945.

It is remarkable that Diokno NEVER studied LAW in any university but yet was permitted to take the 1945 Philippine BAR Exams and then TOPPED it.

Diokno later became an esteemed Senator and a Martial Law Freedom Fighter together with his fellow La Sallian- the late great Senator Lorenzo Tanada.

everyday, thinking and sort of making pusta to myself who's gonna give in first....who will be the the first to diverse from the topic...and especially, who will first start to make nonsense comment....hahahaha, galing! hindi ako nabigo...sabi ko na nga ba somehow, sometime, somewhere....hindi ako binigo ni couth.... :)

anyway, to all those who have posted and gave recognition to such commendable achievements, i thank you....
tonichi, macky, archerguy, avery, swatch, _mase_, kevin, and vincho...keep on posting!
to sinned...thanks for starting such thread, i surely miss those inter-university contests esp. now that i'm a million miles away from the Phils. :(

Thomasians landed firsts in the recent board exams for Nurses (26 landed in the top 20), Physical Therapists and Medical Doctors (4 landed in the top 10). Thomasian Ateliers bested the recent Nokia Arts Awards.

[REKTIKANO]

LaSalle defeated UST in last Saturday's (Nov.13) battle of the brains (college edition).

[snoc]

I DONT GET IT WHY MANY PEOPLE ENVY LA SALLITES.. WELL JUST TO GIVE A STUFF TOT HINK ABOUT, MANY STUDENTS WANT TO GO TO LA SALLE BUT THE PROBLEM IS THEY DONT HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY TO SPEND FOR THEIR EDUCATION... WELL YOU CANT BLAME US WERE JUST BORN RICH, INTELLIGENT AND BEAUTIFUL/HANDSOME.

WELL SO I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO GO WITH THE SAYING "WHEN YOURE ON TOP PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS TRY TO PULL YOU DOWN" I JUST DONT KNOW IF INSECURE KAYO SA AMIN OR WHAT? SPEAK UP YOUR MIND.

[archangel]

snoc,
pls read my post on the thread "Why do you hat La Sallites?"

[Helmut]

So this forum is supposed to be a "glorification" of La Salle?

If you, La Sallites, were so confident of yourselves, why resort to posting such long information only you yourselves care about?

Can't you find a more INTELLECTUAL topic?

[_Mase_]

Helmut, Helmut... *sigh*

For your information, sinned posted this thread. It was for his benefit.

This thread was not a "glorification of La Sallites" to spread to the world their accomplishments. If they want to do it, then they may do so.

It just so happens that we're actually proud of our accomplishments.

snoc, you're too snobby for your own good. I'll talk to you on Monday about this. You're the worst!! :)

Do I detect a sign of insecurity here?

And yes, snoc (sadly) ;) is correct when he says that many students want to go to La Salle, but they just can't afford it. I personally know a lot of people who just went to the other schools instead. It isn't fair, and we know it.

Don't mind snoc. He hasn't been fed yet. ;)

kmunster: Ateneo's CADS will be sending two entries, one jazz and one street. I hope they win this year, coz last year the jazzers placed second, and the street pipol placed fourth.

[dominicus]

The Professional Regulation Commmission in its latest report revealed that the UST was the TOP PERFORMING SCHOOL in board exams for the past five consecutive years!

"UST RULES BOARD EXAMS" - PRC

[Swatch]

dominicus...
where did u get that info? is that posted in a newspaper, if yes, what newspaper and the issue date? if that is indeed true and reliable, then its good news for the whole thomasian community, something that we should be proud of (while maintaining the virtue of humility in our hearts).

[greta67319]

Erap Estrada never graduated in High School nor in College in Ateneo.

Erap graduated from High School in Mapua High School in 1955 and dropped out from 2nd Year Engineering also in Mapua Institute of Technology.

[???§ÎNNëÐ???]

the last time i watched the inter-university accounting quiz contest held in u.e. iniba nila 'yung format, it was like a general info quiz, ganun pa rin ba or hardcore accounting quiz uli?

[hard_guy00]

lalang...

i just wanna bump off recent entries. hehe.

[jtwothree]

De La Sale won over Arellano U and FEATI unviersity search for the Best University along the riles.

too bad, sa Arellano napunta yung most no. of brilliant students.

[Taenista]

[jtwothree]

newsflash... mainit-init pa. Nanalo ang LaSale over Philippine Christian University sa paramihan ng Honor HS grads.
PCU lost by 3 students.

Congats La Sale!

firsts? 26 in the top 20?

how can ust ever be topped?

no friggin way.

[enteng.00]

hoy tangang prinsipe! FYI - pwede mo pong siksikin ang TOP 20 kahit dalawang daang tao pa ang pagsamasamahin mo sa isang place - dibagat may mga nagta-tie (meaning pareho ng marka/iskor na nakuha sa pagsusulit) sa iisang rank/place sa mga board exams? paganahin naman ang utak phuleez!

[prinsipe_bubwit]

kaya nga it can never be topped.

can anyone give me a school who has ever placed 26 students in the top 20?

wala! ust talaga ang the best! ust is the firsts!

p.s. pasensya na ha. sa golf kasi pag may isang winner at may triple tie for second, ang susunod na rank sa 2nd ay 5th na. diluted pala ang ranking sa boards. pasensya na. anyway, congrats to the 26 students who made it to the top 20.

[Naked_Salvation]

susmio, pati ba naman yung post nung November 14, 1999 e papatulan pa para lang makapangbash????

It's the kawawang masa who puts nincompoops in malacañang and the senate. Their favorite cure for most ills is to tax the middle-income salary group while giving free houses to people whose favorite passtime is thieving. Damned parasites!

prinsipe o prinsesa? what do you get from this besides annoying the attention of thomasians? you must really hate ust huh? get a life & start acting like a human before mom notices you spending so much time infront of the pc. hindi ka tatalino niyan kung puro panlalait ang ginagawa mo.

*bakit konti lang ang nasasalihang international contest ng mga schools dito? ganun na ba tayo kahina? *

[prinsipe_bubwit]

1. vegetables are higher beings than rodents.

2. rodents are at the bottom of the food chain while vegetables are at the top. vegetables eat rats.

3. annoy the attention. annoy the attention. annoy the attention.

4. yup, i guess ganun kayo kahina.
