Ateneo Debate Congress - SHS

25/02/2026

“𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡.”

Posting late? Obviously 🤙 Not because we forgot, but because we’ve been BOOKED N’ BEEZEE 💨 Very substantial behavior if you ask us.

Who’s that!? He looks JACD!!! ADC has been grinding hard lately and shining a bit too substantially! 🤪

J. Elliana
A. King
C. Cepalon
D. Peñano

What’s that? 💥 You only use unrecognized and not well-known brands!? Then meet our underdog but well-deserving officers who have been making the Ateneo Debate Congress a substantially strong organization.

Mirror 🪞mirror 🪞 on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?

Well, its the president of ADC!!! Survived two entire school years of SHS ADC 🌀 — motions, tournaments, breaks and breakdowns 🌪️ — na para bang calm amidst the storm 🌊

𝐉𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐨 — 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭

You think amalaier!? 🤨 Na para bang chump change 🪙 ang honesty. Two school years in ADC known for navigating rounds and the streets of Davao na para bang Google Maps premium. Also only uses very lowkey, underrated, unrecognized brands like Gucci, Balenciaga, and Prada. Na para bang humble like that. 🩼🚨

𝐀𝐥𝐢 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐦𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐠 — 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭

Ol’ reliable. Sweet bestie. Smart with emotional intelligence installed, she is also sweet and chelzy. If there’s a deadline, she’s already three steps ahead. Need help? 🐣🦆She’s there for you. Two school years of quiet but substantial consistency. ⏱️

𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐳𝐲 𝐂𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧 — 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲

On–off jowa ng ADC. Status: it’s complicated. But when logistics need lifting, fixing, carrying, or are lonely, suddenly very committed. He gives love, effort, and commitment na para bang chump change lang. 🤑💰

𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐡 𝐏𝐞ñ𝐚𝐧𝐨 — 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝

From Picong Tunnel realizations to “if it makes you feel better” at 11:47 PM, these officers have been serving ADC for two full school years of SHS. They are not just attending, not just debating, but also making it through the Picong Tunnels of life substantially!

They may be experienced, goated, always beezee, but always substantial.
