Unfortunately, we were not able to be together and complete during the Foundation Week due to certain circumstances. So we decided to improvise…
Well, it does not have to be Foundation Day to have a little fun, right?

Unfortunately, our dear Sheerah Abigail Ybañez was not around during the photoshoot, so here is a photo of her to make up for her absence:

Despite the fact that we formed this group as a performance task, we have grown to be fond of one another. To be honest, this whole ordeal has been a pain at the bum but this activity has also been something that we needed. We have always wanted campus journalism to have some form of exposure.
This is the exposure it needed (though it really came at a really, REALLY bad time).
Miss Lisa, if you’re reading this, we just want to say thank you for giving us this opportunity.
San Roque College de Cebu celebrates its 26th Founding Anniversary last February 8-11, 2018. A lot of things had happened on this week; students, the faculty, school administrators, parents and guests alike have enjoyed themselves during the event with its numerous and interesting activities.
Booths, food stands, field demonstrations, the most anticipated Talent’s Quest and Battle of the Bands and Family Day are some of the major events everyone has been looking forward to.
Below is a gallery of photos taken during the events of Foundation Week.

On February 10, 2018, the Sitio Orchids left home with the title as first placers for the Full Band category in the Battle of the Bands which was held in San Roque College de Cebu, Main Campus.

They are an ensemble of grade 12 boys and their members include Patrick Joel Mag-asin and Jaymar Saso (vocalists), Jericho Louis Tampos (lead guitarist), Darwin Ferdienick Galan (rhythm guitarist), Ian Sean Delos Santos (bassist), and Nicholas Brent Luardo (drummer).
Even though they were the last contestant for the Battle of the Bands, they easily brought the audience’s energy back to full charge with their outstanding performance. The songs they presented were all OPM specifically Noypi by Bamboo, Palagot sa Kontra by Phylum, and an additional song requested by the audience themselves which was Hallelujah by Bamboo.
In an interview, the band stated that they wanted to join Battle of the Bands because this was their last year in SRCDC and they simply wanted to make people happy with their performance.
The Sitio Orchids emphasized that they will play OPM upon their performance, but why OPM? “Because Filipinos nowadays forget what it’s like to listen to their own music.” replied Jericho Tampos, “ We also want to raise awareness through this competition because we want to make a difference in maintaining and restoring the culture of OPM.”
They were then asked what they thought brought them to the fruit of their glory. Vocalist Patrick Mag-asin says “Maybe our togetherness because in a band, we must work as a team. Without cooperation, the music we play would sound bad. That is why we believe cooperation and teamwork made us win the competition.”
It was obvious that the Sitio Orchids made a great impact with their music and lifted the hearts of many. It is always important to enjoy the music you play and share your talents.
A message they would like to dedicate to the other bands and future contestants would be to never settle for basic. You should work hard and practice until you got it right. No band would be successful without going through hardships and great effort.
