UNEP BAGS 5 WINS

UNEP, Iriga City - After a year of haiatus, the UNIVERSITY OF NORTHEASTERN PHILIPPINES, comes back to the Naga City Military Parade Competition with a bang.

Besting 128 other schools, the University brings home the bacon with their ROTC Activated Unit winning 5th place and 2nd Place as the Most Disciplined ROTC Unit, their WATC Unit winning 1st Place, their Sponsors winning 2nd Place and the University Band winning 4th Place in the recently concluded Military Parade Competition, an annual gathering of schools from different parts of the Bicol Region to engage in a friendly competition on the occassion of the 2006 Penafrancia Fiesta Festivities.

As of this writing the University President is now starting to organize a Victory Ball that she promised the contingent if they win First Place in any of the entries of the school.

However, the victory seems marred by a controversy raging on campus as the University is preparing to protest an incident that happened concerning the University Majorettes. The judges failed to give a score to the majorettes effectively excluding them from the competition. Developments on this story will be posted after the Academic Council meeting called by the President to tackle this very sticky issue.***
