If there is one common element between Parkour and Wall Climbing, it is SHIFT. A

skill, a technique and a factor a traceur and a wall climbing enthusiast mutually possess that sets them apart from other athletes. On the cover, Savipra Gorospe demonstrates the application of SHIFT in Parkour through hurdling obstacles and vaulting over walls. On the cover, we can clearly see his aggression, discipline and intense form of expression. Once part of the Philippine Team, FRONT BACKPhoto by: Marionne Louise CinCo Photo by: Ceasar Jan enTiLa

HIFT. This is the theme of this year’s issue of the The Bedan Herald’s sports magazine- momentum. In a denotative

meaning of the word, shift means to transfer from one point to another. As a matter of fact, the real definition is beyond the cognizance of the majority, including myself. It has a greater importance relative to one’s outlook in life and how one handles the challenges that appear before him. In an attempt to further explain the meaning, we feature two Bedans and their field of expertise in (I should say) extraordinary sports—parkour and wall climbing. The degree of difficulty to perform in these kinds of athletic trainings is not a walk in the park. Unlike in most sports where muscular power alone can already do the trick, both parkour and wall climbing require an individual’s incredible discipline and intellectual and physical agility to be able to shift from one certain point of destination to another.

“Conquering Altitude” and “The World as His Playground” are the two main articles in this issue of Momentum. The former is a write up about the challenge and experience brought about by the sport of wall climbing; while the latter about shares the passion of a Bedan traceur. As we celebrate the school’s ruby anniversary, it is just fitting to theme the sports magazine with SBCA as it is also shifting to excellence. The experience of shift seems to be present in everyone; we just have to motivate ourselves to pursue them with discipline and hard work. Discipline and hard work are just some of the ingredients needed to achieve the sweet taste of success. So let this magazine inspire you with its theme and message that with hard work and discipline, whether it is climbing a wall or traversing in a park, one can become extraordinary.

abouT THe Covers

hift itself is extraordinary. As The Bedan Herald offers

the 4th issue of its Sports Magazine, momentum, we are constantly shifting to new kinds of sports. From the conventional sports like basketball and volleyball, we are now featuring two extraordinary sports: Parkour and Wall Climbing. Normally, only MVPs and popular athletes get to be featured on the cover

page of sports magazines. But in this issue, we decided to deviate from this clichéd sports tradition and look for Bedan athletes who are engaged in sports that are rarely seen in our society. To discover people who are into Parkour and Wall climbing is already an accomplishment on our part. We are very proud to be an instrument for them to show our readers their talents and extraordinary skills while they manifest their passion on

the field. Without the help of extraordinary people, this magazine would not be possible. As the saying goes, “There are no extraordinary men, just extraordinary circumstances that ordinary men are forced to deal with.” – Dean Stanley.

Joy Jocson is a wall climber showing us step by step how to conquer, climb and SHIFT to the wall of success. As her skill, SHIFT controls her life that will reinforce and push her to reach the top. To SHIFT is no ordinary skill. One cannot learn this pragmatic skill within the boundaries of school or just by reading books. One will be tested and pushed to the limit. But once you have learned to SHIFT, you will be able to take perfect control of your life to whichever direction it may lead you.

“WALL CLIMBING IS not just about physical strength; it is very unique because it involves logic and thinking of strategies on how to complete the given task—quite like solving a puzzle”–Joy Jocson

Wall climbing is no ordinary sport. The fact that you have to think first before mounting into a certain rock in the wall makes it

more challenging. As we feature a Bedan engaged in this kind of sport, we become introduced to the climbing experience. Joy Jocson, a Communication and Media Studies sophomore, did not have her first wall climbing experience until she, her brother and cousin went out to the mall and tried it. But what was just a fun activity turned into a sport even Joy never thought of being passionate with. At first, her uncle did not want her to wall climb because he thought she had a very “little frame.” “Ayaw nila akong payagan kasi daw mapayat ako masyado at baka di ko daw kayanin,” said Joy. But she refused to be deterred. “Alam mo’ yung feeling na gusto mong ipakita sa mga tao na kaya mong gawin ang isang bagay na akala nila na di mo kaya? That’s what I felt and so I wanted to prove something.” Nowadays, wall climbing is favored as a perfect indoor adventure activity which rushes adrenaline with the joy and technique which requires both strength and flexibility. In the sport of wall climbing, length is a clear advantage. With her long reach and thin build, Joy meant that she really belongs to this kind of extreme sport. Joy also showed interest on other sports like swimming but shares that “wall climbing is the only one for her”. As soon as she first got into a harness and went up climbing, many started to believe in her and saw a bright future for her in this particular sport. Joy also shares that she has always wanted to try rock climbing, the outdoor version of

wall climbing. Although she loves wall climbing because of passion, joining competitions and winning awards seemed to be inevitable because of her great skills. She is a constant first placer especially in juniors division winning in multiple wall climbing competitions including in SCAPI First Timers’ Competition (2004), Six-fifty Survivor Series (2005), SM Supermalls Summer Sports (2005), Sandugo Open Competition (2006), PUG Monster C o m p e t i t i o n (2006), Junior National Climbing Championship in Ilocos Sur (2006), 1st Caliraya National Wall- Climbing Competition (2007) and Purisho CUP (2009) to name a few. Joy was literally climbing and nearing the peak of the “wall” of her career at that time when she had to face her toughest fall. Back in 2008, Joy had an accident that forced her to hang her rock climbing shoes for a long while after being advised to test for at least six months. She needed five stitches to suture her wound after inadvertently tearing her muscle tissue on the back of her right thigh during her training. “Since then, di na ako nakapag-climb. Pati ‘yung brothers ko hindi na rin; they already ventured into other sports like basketball and volleyball”. Joy might have retired but her passion for the sport still doesn’t rest. Truth be told, after her photoshoot for this write- up, Joy chose to stay for a little longer to ‘reminisce’ her wall climbing days. “Kung ako lang masusunod, gugustuhin ko pa rin talaga eh,” she said. It is very visible that her acquired discipline through wall climbing also reflects in her personality and perspective in life. “Whenever I fail, I feel down,” said Joy. “Masaya talaga pag na- reach mo ang top. Just do your best and enjoy sharing good memories with others why they still last,” she concluded.

“kailangan mong galingan for your own self, for the sake of overcoming your previous self.” - Savipra “Sav” Gorospe

HAVE YOU EVER been into a life or death situation when you are confronted by a nasty criminal in a secluded place and your adrenaline rush leaves you with no choice but

to take offense? Fighting back would be a double-edged sword—you might be able to trounce the villain or you might be overpowered and get killed. But if you choose to run away, your life might be saved if you will be able to successfully break out and surpass any obstacle coming along your way (that the criminal cannot even go through)—smoothly and efficiently.

You don’t need to be a stuntman or stuntwoman to do that. But at least knowledge of Parkour and FreeRunning can somehow do the trick.Parkour and FreeRunning are two physical disciplines that focuses on our safety and appreciate what we have—our body. We may not have the weapons to defend ourselves during threatening situations, but we can actually get advantage with using our bodies to move in a fast way. Parkour (sometimes abbreviated PK) is a growing urban sport of French origin. It came from the French word parcour meaning “obstacle course.” Parkour is the physical discipline which conditions the mind and body in a way that participants are able

to adapt to the environment, traverse a path and overcome obstacles in the most efficient way possible—using skills such as running, jumping, climbing, rolling, and vaulting. Also not a competitive sport, Parkour is meant to be functional rather than attractive, and focuses on self-awareness and self-improvement. FreeRunning, on the other hand, is an evolution of Parkour. The term was coined as a response to the increasing popularity of the latter in English-speaking countries. FreeRunning or l'Art du Déplacement (English: “the art of moving”) incorporates Parkour moves as well as acrobatic maneuvers. In this discipline, complete freedom of movement and creativity is the name of the game, rather than efficiency.

Sav, a Bedan traceur Savipra “Sav” Gorospe, a Bedan psychology freshman, is a Parkour practitioner or a “traceur” (for a female practitioner, she is called a “traceuss”). He shares that Parkour is a different sport from the others in a way that it does not seek a prize and provides a mindset that one should compete against oneself in order to overcome the “previous self.” “First and foremost, sa Parkour pina-praktis talaga ‘yung no-competition discipline,” Sav says. “You shouldn’t be intimidated by others na you would say ‘uy, mas magaling ito sa’kin, ayoko na nawawalan na ako ng gana.’ Minsan kasi ‘yung ibang tao may superstar effect, kapag nakikita natin sila humihina self-esteem natin. Pero ‘yung Parkour, ine-establish sa mindset mo na kailangan mong galingan for your own self, for the sake of overcoming your previous self.” Sav started playing Parkour in summer of 2009. But before he became inclined to it, he had tried learning taekwondo, a behest from his “conservative” Japanese dad who wanted his children to know self-defense. However, later on, the then seventeen-year old Sav veered away from the combat martial arts and embarked on a different approach when it comes to dealing with dangerous situation—Parkour. “Gusto ko ‘yung ‘flight’ response sa isang dangerous situation hindi ‘fight’ kasi usually kapag martial arts, kailangan ko pa maghintay masuntok tapos susuntok ka rin. Kung iisipin mo ‘yung flight response makakatakbo ka na agad. Parang makakadaan ka sa mga obstacles na hindi kayang daanan ng nagpu-pursue sa’yo. Mas praktikal ‘yung self-defense na ‘yun,” Sav shares. Parkour is all about going over, going under, or just passing through—with precision and style. There are a lot of skills to be learned such as vaults, wall-up, muscle-up, gap jump, tic-tac, and cat leap. And with proper k n o w l e d g e , training and u t i l i z a t i o n of Parkour s k i l l s , you can gain a well-calculated flight from or advantage over the one chasing you.

Starting from scratch Asked where he and his colleagues hold Parkour trainings, Sav said they usually practice in BF Park in Parañaque. There they would traverse a circuit with random obstacles in a follow-the-leader fashion. But sometimes they would take on other urban environments just like the Quezon City Circle and an area in Westgate in

Alabang, Muntinlupa. Any place can be a training ground for Parkour practitioners as long as it is not a private property such as malls, offices, etc. Is there any gear needed? Not much. Sav shares that what one needs to have in playing Parkour are just comfortable running shoes, loose jogging pants and a normal shirt. Summer 2010, Sav attempted to create a Parkour group that they were supposed to register in the Philippine Parkour and FreeRunning Association (PPFA), a non-profit organization that promotes Parkour and FreeRunning in the country and trains individuals who want to be engaged into the two disciplines. Unfortunately, Sav and his co-traceurs, then high school students, were disbanded due to opening of school classes. But that, nonetheless, did not hinder them from enhancing their craft. During weekends or whenever they have free time, Sav and friends would go at favorite BF Park and master Parkour skills.

Parkour & FreeRunning philosophies In Parkour and FreeRunning, the practitioner’s greatest challenger is no other than himself/herself. He/she must compete against himself/herself in order

to improve and proceed to another level. These two sports do not aim to overcome others; because here, the trophy lies in the personal journey itself. For Sav, that mindset adds motivation and a sense of equality among Parkour and FreeRunning practitioners. “Mahirap kasi kapag ‘yung motivation natin comes from overcoming others. Pero [in Parkour we are focused on] overcoming ourselves. Kung ano ang weaker self natin, ‘yun ang kailangan natin ma-surpass.” Like what was implied earlier, Parkour and FreeRunning are also practically against violence. Traceurs and freerunners alike would most likely opt to take the “flight” approach instead of “fight” for self-defense when it comes to dealing with precarious situations.

Overcoming fears, developing alertness Luckily, the Bedan traceur has not yet encountered a dangerous moment in his life that he would perhaps use Parkour as self-defense. But he already got injured practicing Parkour while they were having a session one wet, slippery day in Quezon City Circle. “Gagawin ko sana ‘yung cat leap, ‘yung tatalon ka tapos magki-cling ka sa wall. Ang nangyari sa’kin ‘pag leap ko, pag sampa ng paa ko nag-slip ako, kaya tumama ‘yung both shin ko. Since I was having adrenaline rush, naramdaman ko lang ‘yung sakit after, nung cooldown,” Sav shares. Despite the mishap, Sav keeps on training and earning agility, fitness and stamina to lessen the difficulty of Parkour and the possibility of acquiring injuries. But what Sav gets to learn more importantly, according to him, are mental alertness and conquering his fears.

Parkour as a way of life “Parkour, ‘di na mawawala sa’kin ‘yan, kasi it’s my way of alleviating stress from everyday life.” Sav enthuses, sharing his fondness for the efficiency-centered sport. “Na-aapply ko rin ang Parkour sa life,” Sav adds. “Hindi lang siya talaga training e, it’s a lifestyle. From the discipline itself, no competition. Parang sa studies, ‘pag may discipline ka, matutunan mo na ‘di magpadala sa mga temptations … hindi mo pwedeng dugain mga tests mo, because in the end you’ll realize you are just cheating yourself.”

Sav said it would be a “great honor” for him if he and his colleagues would be given the chance to create a Parkour and FreeRunning organization in San Beda College Alabang-College of Arts and Sciences.

As one community, Parkour and FreeRunning enthusiasts continue to spread their love of the two physical disciplines in the country from north to south,

east to west and everywhere in between. Their mission? To reach farther. To bridge gaps. To overcome obstacles. To move beyond boundaries. To keep the movement flowing. To have the world as their playground. And lastly, to surpass their previous selves. Because after all, according to Parkour co-founder Sebastian Foucan, “improving is more important than being the best.”

A toast to Bedan excellence

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) was founded in 1924 under the initiative of Dr. Regino R. Ylanan, a physical education professor of the University of the Philippines (UP). Ever since its birth, NCAA served as one of the leading athletics association for some of the biggest colleges and universities in Metro Manila such as Colegio de San Juan de Letran, San Sebastian College Recoletos and San Beda College Mendiola.

Until in 1999, a new brand of competition was established. NCAA-South (National Collegiate Athletic Association- South) is an offshoot of the original NCAA and has nine competing schools to date. As one of the founding members of the league, San Beda College Alabang has already cemented its name as one of the better teams in the NCAA-South by winning their very first championship in the 3rd season (2001-2002)—reigning the basketball tournament in the Mens division. In the following season, the Red Lions were able to defend their titles and were hailed as back-to-back basketball champions.

But in the succeeding years, the Alabang-based Red Lions have met a rough sailing. San Beda Alabang has witnessed the ups and downs in their sporting career—successful seasons and a fair share of upsetting championship droughts. And as we head to the 13th season of NCAA competition, let us be reminded of the success of the Alabang Red Lions which they pursued over the past years.

The list of championships may be short but the magnitude of every trophy that represents the hardwork and determination of these Bedan athletes will never be underestimated. May this serve as inspiration not only to the fans of the different sports, but most especially to every Red Lion out there to strive for victory.

SAN BEDA COLLEGE Alabang has always been known for its long tradition and deep school spirit. As the 13th Season of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) South opens, the Red Lions need something to boost their morale and win the game. Introducing the Red Lion Pep Squad and Band, the embodiment of school spirit and pride.

The squad that fires up the crowd The Red Lion Pep Squad is the official pep squad of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). Founded in 2004 by Ian John Palma, a Communication and Media Studies alumnus, the Red Lion Pep Squad was established as a cheering squad which aims to spread the Bedan identity and school spirit. Soon, the squad changed its name to Bataleon De Leon Rojo, which is Spanish for Red Lion Battalion. In 2011, Cheerleading Captain Dawn Ivy Ghail Macandili made a collective decision to change the squad’s name back to Red Lion Pep—with the approval of Palma and the current dance coach of Red Lion Pep Squad, CMS alumnus Lyndon Aaron Villanueva. The CAS pep squad still continues the legacy that was started seven years ago with regular trainings spearheaded by Villanueva. Like any other organization, it has been hard for the squad, as they encounter every challenge; from the pursuit of attaining varsity status, to competing in various cheerleading competitions. These Red Lions realize that they still have a lot to work on. Yet, these challenges encountered by the squad never hindered them from moving forward. The Red Lion Pep Squad has joined competitions like the National Cheerleading Championship and just recently, March this year, they joined the Muntinlupa Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association (MICAA) Cheerdance Competition and was ranked third among competing Muntinlupa-based colleges. Challenged over time, the Red Lion Pep Squad remained persistent. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays served as the regular training days for the squad. As college students, the squad members’ bodies are not as easy to stretch and develop compared to the ones in their younger years; and like any other sport, flexibility and skills require constant training in order to be at their very best. Despite lack of training equipment, the cheerleaders have continued to develop themselves with determination, patience, hard work, and “heart.”

On the beat Something that is not much talked about is the pep band of the Red Lion Pep which are usually the unsung heroes of the school spirit. The Red Lion Pep Band is the official pep band of San Beda College Alabang–College of Arts and Sciences. Tracing its roots back in 2004, to its founder, Ian John Palma credited to Jason Nulla, current Drum Chief of the Red Lion Pep Band. After most of the drummers left last school year due to various reasons, Nulla was left as the sole member of the pep band to carry on the legacy. Fortunately, Nulla had friends in his course, Information Technology, and his friends from Beda High who unconditionally joined to help him restart the nearly-dead band. Aside from this, the Red Lion Pep Band established ties with coach Luis Carlo San Juan, an alumnus of San Beda College Alabang High School, and his incredible band of boys, the High School Pep Band. It is commonly known that the relationship between the HS Pep and the Red Lion Pep was shaky at best, but Nulla and his drummers set aside their pride and prejudice in order to bring him and his boys to the next level. So Nulla did what his predecessors could not and/or refused to do—collaborate with the HS Pep Band in joint training sessions and performances.

Training hard Like any other discipline, playing for the band requires constant training in order to fine-tune their craft. As the motto of the pep band goes, “One Band, One Sound.” Taking their cue from the HS Pep Band, the Red Lion Pep Band started training every week, sometimes as much as five days a week just to catch up with the already formidable HS Pep Band. But training was far from glamorous or convenient for the drummers. More often than not, securing a venue to train in presented itself to be more of a challenge than the training itself. Certain restrictions and hindrances would usually delay the boys from training. These included the tolerance of other Bedans in the campus for the noise the pep band would inevitably make during their practices. Their old and dilapidated equipment also limited the pep band from playing quality beats. Broken sticks, rusty drums, and makeshift beaters are just some of the things the boys make the best of their situation. The crazy weather the Bedan community has been experiencing lately also adds to their multitude of problems.

Beating the odds But rain or shine, the Red Lion Pep Band has managed to survive and is constantly improving despite not yet attaining varsity status. During the Ruby Anniversary Kick-off celebrations, the band had their first gig when they performed for the Bedan community at the CAS gym as part of the program.

With the NCAA South just around the corner, the Bedan community can be assured that the boys will be putting on performances that will bring honor and fame to our Alma Mater. ¡Ánimo San Beda!”

Part of the school’s preparations in hosting were renovations and improvements of sports amenities. SBCAhave acquired 40 indoorand 10 outdoor footballs and 50 new volleyballs. New shot clocks, score boards and buzzers were also installed in the sports complex while the gym was repainted with colors that better represent the Bedan identity to fully make the school spirit more active. The sports complex and CAS gymnasium shows how warm are the Bedans in welcoming athletes and those whose athletic potentials need yet to be fostered.Both provide great avenues for everyone to show on-court skills and compete.

Football Field The football field measures to92x49 m. While there are still plans to put the artificial turf to at least bring the international football experience much closer to the Bedan community.

Swimming Pool This Olympic sizestructure caters to all students especially. Measuring 50x25 m, the will also serve as venue and host different swimming competitions.
