Have you heard of Sangkan (isang angkan kay KRISTO)? of course not, unless you have been involved to Minor Seminary (Minor seminaries are school or i should say formation house that is designed for highschool students who aspire to be a servant of GOD in the future, and Sangkan is one of the most awaited event in a school year because it somehow bonds minor seminarians from different minor seminaries in the Philippines through a friendly sportsfest with games like basketball/volleyball, chess, checkers, table tennis, darts, scrable, game of the generals and sometimes billiards/pool, badminton, or even swimming. Yearly there are four times Sangkans: 1st is for Seniors, 2nd is for Juniors, 3rd is for sophomores, fourth and the last one is for freshmen. I still recall all the Sangkans that i have joined because inorder to play you will first undergo a comprehensive training especially for outdoor games. I remember during my freshman years, all of us are required to attend the basketball training that is not easy because its to physical that will requires you alot of energy and power... For me i didn't like it because i hate outdoor games, the good thing is our PE coach let us choose between Basketball and Volleyball and i chose volleyball because i thought it will be easier than basketball, but again it is not easy like what i am expecting because our trainor is enhancing our flexibility and speed. no choice but i have to stay with the volleyball team. Our sangkan 1 was held at our homecourt in guadalupe makati but it was not that easy, even though we still get awards because there are only 3 seminaries that participated in our Sangkan. Our next sangkan which is Sangkan 2 was held at Sariyaya Quezon and for me we are privilege because we are given a chance to explore their seminary but due to it is province it has nothing to say with our seminary in makati.. Yabang! but its ok because we became contented with everything, the place, the food, and the person around even though our team in volleyball didn't win the game. And Lastly, which also turnsout as my last sangkan was in San Fernando, Pampanga. It isa our first Luzon wide sangkan meaning we have to stay in that seminary for 3days and 2nights. Here i didn't play anything because there is only one outdoor game which turns to be basketball where in we bag the champion trophy even though our captainball was injured due to leg cramps. Foods here are all authentic Pampangeños especialties like TOCINO, LONGGANISA, BURONG KANIN, LECHON BAKA and etc. It will be my unforgettable sangkan. After staying in the seminary we had our victory party in one of my classmate's villa. we had swimming to refresh our tired body, others enjoy the sing along but others just rest in the cottage.. "hindi lang kami nagenjoy or nasayahan, nakapagbonding pa kaming magkakaklase." Sangkan is truly a bridge of unity...
