Today, people consider June 12 as INDEPENDENCE DAY in the Philippines
well, INC members consider the same

Today, was also the 3rd anniversary of the day the district of Metro Manila South was created in the Iglesia Ni Cristo dominion.
To celebrate it, several locales in the district of Metro Manila South created the "Siglaro 2009"
which is basically a term for "sportsfest".
It was held at the PhilSports Complex or Ultra.

We woke up at 5 am to get to Ultra early because the assembly time was scheduled at 5:30 am. When we got to Ultra the parade of locales started. Ads (Adrian) and his family were up the stage since his parents were part of the commitee who organized the sportsfest.
Several locales including:
Bel-Air - Ads lokal
Ilugin - My lokal
De Castro - Christell's lokal
and many more were around the track field in Ultra

After the parade was an opening prayer, followed by the passing of torch (the flame in the torch was very small and hard to see from afar). The Oath of Sportsmanship followed.
After the oath........ Ka. Homer (Tagapangasiwa ng Distrito) opened the sportsfest with a speech.
The games were played on different locations. The Games that were played included Basketball, Volleyball, Badminton, Table Tennis, Board Games, "Fun" Games and the 100,200 and 400m dash in the track field.

My family and I headed straight to the basketball court to watch teams compete. What we didn't know was that they were just all Exhibition Games and no awards in Basketball were to be presented. The commentary during the basketball games was entertaining since he kept on having violent reactions when a foul or a shot is commited.

After the 2nd basketball game. My family left the ringside seats to watch the other games in the track field. I left the basketball area around 12:30 pm since I needed to buy lunch. I went back the to basketball area but found out that some family took our seats. I went to ADS family at the stage to eat my lunch.

After eating my lunch, I accompanied Pat and ADS' sister to the basketball area to watch another game. When we went to check our old seating, the family was gone. So we just took the seats and watched 3 more basketball games b4 my Dad's team were to compete against Kadiwa (members 18 and above who are'nt married yet) members.

After the 3rd last game, several INC members from lokal of De Castro gave us a short dance number. We did'nt expect that the dance was a form of street dancing. But they were impressive. The crowd gave them a huge standing ovation after the performance.

the last 2 games b4 our Dad's team was to compete looked like a re-enactment of the UAAP Finals between ADMU and DLSU since team 1 and team 2 wore green and blue jerseys.
The first game was a tie and "DLSU" won game 2.

Finally, after 3 straight games, my dad's team was ready to compete against the Kadiwa team
in what looked like another re-enactment, this time between the Orlando Magic and the LA Lakers. My dad's team won with a score of 41-46.

Everyone left the basketball arena and ADS wanted to challenge us to a 200 m dash at the track meet. So we went straight to the track and raced. I easily defeated ADS, Pat and Audrey in the dash. After which, my parents told us that were ready to leave. So after a few "goodbye's" and "see ya's" we all left Ultra.
