She delivered “hugot” stand up poetry version of the song Bahay Kubo for their Nutrition Spoken Poetry competition in line with the celebration of Nutrition Month. “The girl was contestant number 3 but when she started her first few lines, it already struck us,” said Cuadrillero. The winner of the competition was a Grade 12 student but Manggino-an’s piece still got a lot of reactions from the crowd and from the online community.
