This year’s theme “Despierto” marked the 10th installment of the biggest med-law party in the country, Verdict X. Last February 24, 2018 at Chaos, City of Dreams Manila, the Phi Kappa Mu Fraternity of the UP College of Medicine in partnership with the Regina Iustitiae Sorority of the Ateneo School of Law brought into fruition the biggest and wildest med-law party yet. Attended by various Medicine and Law students not only within the metro but also beyond the islands of the Philippines, the party did not fail to give a night filled with energy and life as they were fueled with amazing beats by DJ Therese Garcia, unlimited specialty drinks for such a vivacious crowd, and multiple surprises from the various sponsors ready to spice up the night of the lucky guests.
As the gates for registration were opened by 8 P.M., guests coming over from different parts of country flocked over the venue. Initially an empty club, in just a matter of minutes, deafening sounds erupted as multiple people entered and immediately felt excited for what was in store for them. As they entered the hallways of Chaos, they were met with multiple booths that showcased the variety of products and surprises the sponsors offered: from the rich and tasty ube of Ruben’s Ube Halaya to the bountiful and crunchy chips and other tasteful products of Oishi to the various drinks offered by Chivas Regal, Tanduay Rhum, Ginebra San Miguel and Don Revy’s. The night has not officially begun but the crowd could already feel the intensity of the atmosphere in Chaos building up….
A short program segment hosted by Brod Steven Cuapoco Tan Tan Φ2017B and Yvonne Ricaro from the Regina Iustitiae Sorority hyped the crowd into what was unravelling into a night that they will never forget.
Crowds cheered as sponsor videos were presented to acknowledge the various people who made this event from a dream into a reality. Not only that, special raffle prizes were given to lucky individuals who attended the party; some of which were gift certificates from HQ Barbershop PH and Philippine Wacoal group while other prizes included discount certificates in two of the most fun places in our country today: Mystery Manila and Trampoline Park PH. Games, courtesy of Oishi, lived up to its expectations as the crowd shouted in delight in support to the participants. Contestants gave their all as they played “Got to Catch Those Balls”. The competitive spirit was building and all were crowned winners, much to the delight of the participants. The program continued to sizzle as Onesimus presented 5 lucky gentlemen who brought their swag and charisma with them throughout the party, garnering the crowd’s attention as the “Gentlemen of the Night”.
To cap the program of the 10th year of existence of Verdict, Chivas Regal honored the two people behind the creation of the biggest and wildest med law party back in 2008: Mikhail Lew Perez Ver Φ2006 SE 2010-2011 from the Phi Kappa Mu Fraternity and Nicka Hosaka from the Regina Iustitiae Sorority. As the beats gradually increased in intensity, Verdict X finally went into full effect as DJ Therese Garcia hit the stage with a variety of music that pumped the crowd throughout the night, showcasing their grooves to different songs. And true to its promise of keeping everyone wide awake all night long, Verdict X lived up to the hype and expectations.
