MCCs PE event

Mandaue City College, located at the Mandaue Sports and Cultural Complex, had its semestral Physical Education  culminating activity with a blast last October 17. Its 11 PE classes coming from different levels (PE 1, PE 2, PE 3) either participated in the sports tournament or performed dance aerobics, cultural or modern pop dances.

Aerobics dance workout is an activity that improves cardio-vascular circulation, muscular stength, power, flexibility and coordination. This is a better option for a classroom activity than vigorous isotonic or isometric exercises.

Values formation and strenuous yet worthwhile experiences filled the weekend schedules of some six hundred students as they trained and prepared for their routines for the said event. This culminating activity spearheaded by the Physical Education office under the chairmanship of this writer is MCC's first.

Special thanks to College Administrator Dr. Theresa H. Inot, Assistant College Administrator for Administration Mr. John Paul dela Serna, College of Arts and Sciences Dean Mr. Reynaldo Villanueva, Ms. Dorren Fevag and the PE studentry for the support.
