NISU Blue Marlins Esports shines in RSCUAA, claims silver in both categories
 
 
 
The Northern Iloilo State University (NISU) Blue Marlins Esports team etched their names in history by clinching silver medals in both the Mobile Legends men’s and women’s divisions during the Regional State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (RSCUAA) held at Iloilo State University of Fisheries Science and Technology, Poblacion Site, on December 18, 2024.
 
This year’s RSCUAA marked the debut of Esports, a groundbreaking addition that highlighted the evolution of athletic programs in the region and provided a platform for talented student-gamers to shine.
 
The Blue Marlins' men's team displayed outstanding harmony and strategy, battling through tough rounds to reach the finals before narrowly missing first place and securing the silver medal.
 
Jeff-T Fuentes, NISU Blue Marlins Mobile Legends team captain, expressed that despite falling short of the gold medal against Iloilo Science and Technology (ISAT) University this year, they will surely comeback stronger and win the gold next RSCUAA.
 
"We may have fallen short of the gold this year, but this is just the beginning, we’ll come back stronger and claim the championship next RSCUAA," said Fuentes after the grand finals. "We lacked consistency in some key moments, but we’ll work on that and come back more focused and ready to win next time," he added.
 
In the women's category, the Blue Marlins displayed resilience and determination, overcoming tough opponents to reach the finals and earning another silver medal for NISU after losing to Carlos Hilado Memorial State University in the final round.
 
"Though we fell short in the final round, our journey to the finals showed the strength and resilience of our team, and we’re proud to bring home another silver medal for NISU,” said Cindy Sarah Luminario, Blue Marlins esports women's team captain. "We have still time to make a comeback since all our players are third years and second years. We will definitely bring that gold home next time,” she added.
 
The success of the Blue Marlins Esports team at RSCUAA has not only brought pride to NISU but has also set the stage for future growth in the university’s Esports program.
 
“This achievement is a huge step forward for NISU Esports,” said Prof. Mark Anthony Lopez, one of the esports coaches. “Winning silver in both categories during Esports' first appearance at RSCUAA is something we’re incredibly proud of. It motivates us to aim even higher in the future,” he added.
 
 

 

Northern Iloilo State University is deeply mournful of the passing of Dr. Zinnia Parcon Teruel, former Regional Director of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Region VI and former Board of Trustee Member of the Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College (now NISU). Her loss leaves an immense void in the hearts of all who had the honor of working with her, and her remarkable contributions to both science and education will be forever remembered.
Throughout her career, Dr. Teruel was a visionary, dedicating her efforts to advancing science, technology, and education in the region. Her impact also extended to higher education, where, as a member of the NIPSC Board of Trustees, she played an instrumental role in shaping the future of the institution. Her legacy continues to inspire and guide future generations of students, faculty, and staff.
During this time of sorrow, we extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, colleagues, and all who were touched by her presence. Her kindness, selflessness, and ability to inspire others forged enduring relationships with all who were fortunate to know her. While Dr. Teruel may no longer be with us, her legacy will live on through the countless lives she impacted and the lasting difference she made in her community, her country, and the fields of science and education.
May her soul rest in peace. Her leadership, dedication, and compassion will always be cherished, and she will be deeply missed.
