Debaters from the Jesuit-run Ateneo de Manila University in the Philippines won the World Universities Debating Championship for the first time in the history of the Southeast Asian nation.
In the grand finale, the Ateneo de Manila team, composed of David Africa and Tobi Leung, faced off against teams from the Princeton University of the United States, Sofia University of Bulgaria, and the Tel Aviv University of Israel. The Philippine debaters argued against the motion, saying that people’s identities were not shaped by, and their obligations were not primarily owed, to their communities.“The Ateneo Debate Society are world champions as they won the World Uni-versities Debating Championship held in Madrid, Spain. This is the Philippines’ first-ever title in the competition’s 43-year history,” the Ateneo said in an online post.
“Leung and Africa were awarded as the second and eighth best speakers of the world, respectively. Leung attained the highest bestspeaker position that a Filipino has ever held in WUDC history,” the university added.
