For your information, there were electricity blackout since morning until closing ceremony that held until 13.00 we started our presentation so that when we prepared the powerpoint for presentation, it couldn’t be showed. 

 But then when I came forward, middle number from 21 participants of sea teacher, the electricity already getting better so that I could use the powerpoint for the presentation.  While I presented, honestly I was really nervous because there were so many people attending, including important person in TAU. But I tried to be calm and made the situation become relaxed. Then I invited the audiences to sing “Maaraw ang Panahon”, one of the Philippines song about weather, my friends seemed entertained and really enjoyed it, I was pleased. Then the events still continues and we performed other dances from Indonesia and dancing and singing from Philippines. The audiences were entertained and appreciated our performance. After that, the event continued with distributing certificates and token of appreciation form each campuses and TAU.
