As we enter a new academic year, the ๐จ๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฑ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ป ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ participated in their first tournament of the semester. Held last September 9, 2023, the Smashbox Anniversary Tournament was participated by numerous players around Laguna. It was a new experience for the team as they paired up with players they do not usually play with. Nevertheless, the team still proved triumphant by bringing home multiple medals.
In the Womenโs Doubles, Loise Lezada and her pair managed to clinch the bronze medal๐ฅ after a thrilling battle for bronze. Meanwhile, Kristine Berdin and her partner settled for the silver medal๐ฅ after their final match.
In the Menโs Doubles category, Lorenz Zapanta and his partner challenged Level E, wherein they secured the first runner-up spot with a silver medal๐ฅ. In Level C, Zyg Edralin, together with his pair, dominated the bracket and brought home the championship title๐ฅ.
In the Mixed Doubles division, Loise Lezada successfully obtained two bronze medals๐ฅ: one in Level D, where she served as a substitute player, and one in Level C, where she paired with Nathan Reyes. Lastly, Zyg Edralin and Lindsay Reyes went on an all-out match with Kristine Berdin and her pair, with the former settling for silver๐ฅ and the latter taking home the crown๐ฅ.
Also, some team members participated in the tournament but fell short of obtaining a podium finish.

โSweetโ may often be mentioned when asked to describe you because you radiate a pleasing personality that magnetizes the people around you.

The Color Blue represents many things: the sea, the sky, freedom, tranquility, and more. According to other people, it can also be a color that symbolizes trust, sincerity, stability, and intelligence. However, Blue, as a person, also possesses these characteristics. Whenever you are with him, a sense of freedom is felt as he supports you in anything that you do. With his company, a feeling of tranquility is being emitted that temporarily erases all your worries. Blue is also a person that you can trust, may it be inside or outside the court. The sincerity in his actions paired with his intelligence provides stability that makes him someone to lean on. Blue is indeed a good name for such a person.
Your UPLB Badminton Varsity Team would like to greet you a joyous birthday and may you achieve all your aspirations! โค

Your appeal is one of the first things people notice, but as they get to know you, they realize there is something more underneath. As the team captain, you always say the right words to drive your teammates to do their best. You also always succeed in advising inside and outside the court. As a former STRASSUC Champion, the team looks up to you and sees you as an example in developing oneโs skills. Your presence emanates reliability that ensures everyone someone is looking out for them. As a friend, you unceasingly show your immeasurable understanding and support. The team is truly honored to have you.
Your UPLB Badminton Varsity Team would like to wish you the warmest of birthdays and all the best in your future endeavors! โค
Happy World Badminton Day!๐ธ๐
Today, we celebrate the sport that bridged us to numerous possibilities; from strengthening the body to learning various lessons, Badminton has unlocked endless opportunities. Yet, above it all, it allowed us to connect with other people despite our differences and enjoy an inclusive activity.
May we continue to share our love for the sport and inspire people to play inside the court or support from the courtside, and may this sport be a tool for us to recognize ourselves and create better harmony.โค
Cheers to another year for our energetic teammate, Nathan!๐ฅ๐ฅณ
Generous may be an understatement to describe you with what you have contributed to the team. From material things to intangible objects, you always give unselfishly. The stories and experiences you share are something to be appreciated; however, your effort and willingness to go the extra mile for a friend is worth treasuring. Inside the court, you exhibit unparalleled vivaciousness that energizes the people around you; but you also know how to be solemn and be a shoulder to lean on. You are indeed a dependable teammate.
Your UPLB Badminton Varsity Team would like to wish you a fruitful birthday, and may all your ventures reward you with more than you deserve.
โA break from the practicalities of the worldโ
That is what the name Ivory Space suggests as a cafรฉ-restaurant that offers a tasty menu, aesthetic interior, and tranquil ambianceโa perfect place to pamper yourselves after an arduous semester.
Just as the UPLB Badminton Varsity did, they gathered at Ivory Space in Calamba, Laguna, last 20 June 2023 to celebrate the semester's closing and express farewells before returning to their hometowns.
Additionally, this place is owned and managed by one of the team members, Francis โElmoโ Quintana.
CMBTC 1st Badminton Cup in Marikina City๐ธ
Before officially going on vacation, Lorenz Zapanta returned to his hometown and participated in the Coach M Badminton Training Camp (CMBTC) 1st Badminton Cup. Held on 18 June 2023 at the Marikina Sports Center, the tournament was attended by various players of different age groups from Marikina City and adjacent municipalities.
Lorenz and his partner settled for a 2nd runner-up finish in Level D among ten participating pairs, divided into two brackets. They placed second in their bracket with a 3-1 standing, but due to the tournamentโs mechanics that only the top 1 in each group will advance, their ranking was already determined after the round-robin.
This only shows that wherever they may go, the team members still possess the perseverance to garner experiences that will hone their skills.
Meet and Play with Alums๐ธ
Seniors and juniors played with and against each other in a friendly match-up last 02 June 2023. Six alumni varsity members returned to the badminton courts of Copeland Gymnasium wherein the current team got the opportunity to meet and play with them.
This occasion has been a chance to establish a connection between the current and former players through games. Additionally, gratitude was expressed as the alums treat the current varsity to dinner wherein stories of struggles and triumphs were shared around the table. The seniors also did not fail to impart their experiences and lessons to the younger generation which can help them prepare for whatโs ahead in this path they have already ventured.

INDUCTEE TO THE PI GAMMA MU INTERNATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY๐
Congratulations to one of our team captains, Uriel Ian "Uan" D. Coronel, who was recently inducted into the Pi Gamma Mu International Honor Society in Social Sciences. Pi Gamma Mu is an international organization that aims to encourage and promote excellence in the said field.

The pair of Karl Echano and Bianca Pagkalinawan topped the bracket with gold medals๐ฅ, followed by the duo of Neil Buso and Irish Junio who grabbed the silver medals๐ฅ, while Trixy Velasco and her partner from WBA got the bronze medals๐ฅ.
Lastly, in the Menโs Doubles, the team dominated in three different levels. In Level E, Lorenz Zapanta and Blue Mosqueza consistently won all their matches and took home the championship title๐ฅ. In Level D, Nathan Reyes and Tofie Falcon faced a series of nerve-wracking matches and courageously acquired the bronze medals๐ฅ. In Level C, Neil Buso and Francis Burias exceptionally bested all the players in their bracket and prevailed as champions๐ฅ. On the other hand, Zyg Edralin and Jefferson Rebancos, with their respective partners from SmashBox, settled for second runners-up๐ฅ.

You may often stand out from the crowd because of your height, but what really makes you outstanding is your bright smile filled with friendliness and enthusiasm that lightens up the whole room. These best traits of yours had become your trademark but inside the court, you can serve, smash, and deliver necessary moves to win the game. You are also someone to look out for, from your deceptive and steep drop shots to your long reach in a few steps. But beyond all these, it is your warmth and care that will remain in our memories forever.
Your UPLB Badminton Varsity Team wishes you a happy birthday and good fortune to your future endeavors!
