For 16 years already, UP HARONG has been at the forefront of the Bicolano
youth’s endeavor of giving back to the society that nursed it. HARONG has not only
served as a harong to its members during their stay in the university, but also as the
vehicle for their collective effort to contribute to the social and academic development of our Mother Province.
Since its inception, the Academic Festival, or AcadFest as it has been popularly known, has been our organization’s flagship project. AcadFest carries the primary thrust of our organization’s vision of an academically excellent youth in our
province. This year, we dedicate the AcadFest to the promotion of an active advocacy
for peace and understanding among the Bicolano youth of Camarines Sur. We in UP
HARONG believe that, with this AcadFest, we, as young Bicolanos, can do something
to bring everlasting peace in our region, country, and world.
It is with these ideals in mind that we invite every academic institution in
Camarines Sur to help us instill the value of peace and understanding into the minds
and hearts of our Bicolano youth, to share with them the disposition for peace.

Academic Festival
The ACADEMIC FESTIVAL is a prestigious event hosted by UP HARONG, an organization of UP
Diliman students coming from the province of Camarines Sur. Since 1996, it has served as a
haven for intellectual exchange, meaningful exploits, and openhanded discourse.
ACADFEST caters to high school students in Camarines Sur and Cities of Naga and Iriga. It
shall be composed of a series of contests: 15th Tingog nin Rason Debate Tournament, 13th
Boses Kan Jovenes Public Speaking Contest, 9th Harong nin Dunong Quiz Bee, 8th Sural
Essay Writing Contest, 7th Gayon Bikolnon Poster-Making Contest, 3nd Ladawan kan
Kabikolan Photojournalism Contest and the 1st Istoryang Suanoy Contest.
Living in Multiplicity
Throughout the course of history, people have sought ways to attain peace
that is lasting and just. Theories and philosophies have clashed and fought on the intellectual battlefield, pitting the best minds against each other in this grand conversation that is the history of ideas, in pursuit of ideals like Truth, Justice, and Peace.
On the level of the mundane, however, wars have been waged among empires and nations, justifying their slaughter by invoking the principles these thinkers
have held, defended, and argued for, causing countless stories of human suffering and
tragedy.
In this light, this year’s AcadFest, with the theme “LIVING IN MULTIPLICITY:
The Bicolano Youth as an Advocate of Peace and Understanding,” the Organization
hopes to address this perennial problem of humanity by instilling in our youth, not abstract universal principles that will guide them to some utopia, but the disposition for
peace and understanding in our postmodern age where people will be more likely to
encounter ways of life very unlike their own. In this context, tolerance would not be
enough; what is required of us is to have the desire to actually understand other people and appreciate the multiplicity of these forms of life.
We in UP HARONG, as part of our goal to take part in our University’s pursuit
of a well-balanced education for all, has always promoted the idea of a healthy competition among the best young minds of the province, one that will contribute to their
academic development, as well as to the broadening of the horizons by which they
see the world. May this year’s AcadFest do this for you.

zer has not yet been given by the quizmaster(s). Teams that would press their
buzzer before the quizmaster gives the appropriate signal shall be disqualified
from answering the current question. A team may answer by pressing the buzzer
after the question has been read for the first time. The team that buzzes shall answer the question within five (5) seconds after the team is recognized. The team
that answers incorrectly shall not be allowed to answer the same question again.
Only the remaining team/s shall be allowed to answer.
1. BLITZ. In this level, each team shall aim to collect letters by getting
the correct answer and rearrange them to form a mystery word, the
number of letters of which shall be revealed before the round starts.
Questions in this level shall fall under Math and Science. Teams shall
be given 25 seconds to solve each problem. Teams shall answer by buzzing. The team that first provides the correct answer shall receive 25 points
and shall choose which letter from the word they would want to collect,
e.g., the third letter [READ: The letters shall be randomly numbered.] The
letter shall only be given and shown to the team. Once the team collects
all letters, the team can start guessing the word anytime during the round,
i.e., even if a question is being read, the other teams are still solving the
problem, or another team is answering. During solving time, the timer
shall not stop even though the team is guessing. However, the team can
still opt to answer other questions, instead of guessing the word immediately. The team that gets the word correctly shall be given 25 points. The
level shall end once a team has formed the word correctly.
2. FIVE-BY-FIVE. There shall be a 5x5 panel containing different categories, namely, Sports, Information and Communications Technology, Literature, Language, Music and Arts. The first category shall be chosen by
the quizmaster(s), after which category selection shall be in consecutive
order. If no team answers correctly, the quizmaster(s) shall decide on the
next category. Answers shall be answered within ten (10) seconds on a
board to be provided by the organizers. Teams shall start writing after the
quizmaster gives the signal, “go.” Each correct answer shall be worth 20
points.
3. IDENTITY. This level shall feature 15 personalities under Current
Events, History and Culture, and UP Facts. For each personality, four (4)
related clues shall be revealed one by one. The teams shall be given ten
(10) seconds to guess the personality. Each team may only answer (by
buzzing) once for each clue. If no team gets the answer after the fourth
clue, the image of the personality shall be revealed. The first clue shall be
worth 40 points, and shall decrease by ten (10) points for each succeeding
clue.
4. WATCH, LOOK OR LISTEN. This level shall have 15 questions under
Music, Arts, Pop Culture, History and Culture, and UP Facts. A related
video/audio/picture shall be presented before the question is read. Answers shall be written within ten (10) seconds on a board to be provided
