BONTOC, Mountain Province-The provincial
government conducted an inter-department Cordillera Hymn Challenge as closing
of Civil Service month-long celebration here at the Capitol quadrangle on Sept.
28.
As a means of encouraging the internalization
of the hymn among government employees, Gov. Bonifacio C. Lacwasan, Jr. urged
participation of all offices in a choral competition.
Provincial Human
Resource Management Officer Leonila Milagrose F. Malla-ao said the groups enjoyed their performances in the
competition.
The competition formed
14 clusters out of 28 departments. However, participants from the Paracelis
District Hospital were not able to attend the activity.
The Provincial
Engineer and Motor Pool Office cluster emerged as champion.
The Provincial Assessor’s and Provincial
Accountant’s Offices’ cluster came in second while the Provincial Security
Office made it to the third place.
The prizes amounting
to P33,000 were sponsored by the provincial government. Overwhelmed by the
performance of the participants, some provincial government authorities also
shelled out some amount for the additional prizes to all group participants and
as incentives to key players who helped make the event a success. Lacwasan gave
P21, 000 in appreciation and in support to the said activity while some
department heads readily gave theirs in various amounts.
A total of P15,000 was
awarded to first place, P10,000 for second and P7, 000 for third. The remaining
ten groups received P2,000 each as consolation prize.
Based on the activity
mechanics, the participating groups must have at least 15 or more members, must
sing the Cordillera Hymn in a capella, and must come up with their warm up
song. The criteria of judging was : tone
quality, 30%; musicianship, 30% and mastery of piece, 30%. Sstume and stage presence was 10% for a
total of 100 points.
Lacwasan earlier issued a memorandum directing
the inclusion of the Cordillera Hymn Challenge as part of the 117th Philippine
Civil Service Anniversary Celebration.
The music and lyrics
of the Cordillera hymn were composed by Julia Saganib and Juanita Madarang,
respectively.
