The Philippine Schools Debating Championship (PSDC) 2022 is the country’s premier national debate tournament for high schools students. Each year, the ADS hosts PSDC to create an ideal space for fostering critical thinking skills, socio-political awareness, and the spirit of friendly competition.
This year’s theme, ‘Fable’, draws inspiration from fantasy tropes, and the hero’s call to adventure. With this theme, we aim to encourage participants to bravely face unknown obstacles and topersevere through the challenges that come with writing their debate story.
