Erratum

I personally apologize for I have not included some important information in my article in the opinion section of Cursor 2nd semester issue entitled: “EXPLORERS OR FIREFOX?”

According to Mr. Renato Leandicho (last year’s CICT Sports Coordinator together with Mr. Arvin Pagsibigan), he was the first to suggest to have the CICT Teams' name be changed because of recommendations from other students of the University with a kid show of GMA 7- 'Dora the Explorer.' Apparently, the Sports Coordinators acted upon the recommendations. Mr. Arvin Pagsibigan was the first who suggested the name “FIREFOX” during their brainstorming. The idea was immediately brought up to the Dean of the College, Prof. Fausto Hilario. As of now, there will still be a discussion with the faculty for the name they want. The Dean said it will be brought up by a process, maybe, through election. As of Mr. Leandicho’s statement, they were sure about it that next year, CICT Teams will use FIREFOX as their name to compete for Sports inside and outside the University.

Another thing is that, 6 years ago, when Dr. Vicky Valenzuela suggested the name EXPLORERS to be called our ICE teams, their T-shirts were printed EXPLORERS, (the whole exact word ‘explorers’ was there.) This wasn’t included in my article published in our 2nd issue. A faculty member that time, according to Mr. Leandicho, who was Mr. Skid Dela Peña, issued a logo of a small letter ‘e’ on the top left corner of the T-shirt which also symbolizes Explorers. This logo was used by the Faculty for the team uniform afterwards.

As I completed the survey material for this article, in reality, most students really wanted a remake and to be put FIREFOX in.
