Lagman shared her learnings and experiences inthis event,
"Yung natutunan ko is napakahalaga ng team work. Rush lang yung pag buo ng team and wala ring practice, pero nag second place parin. Goal lang namin is to play and have fun so di namin inexpect na manalo. Super nakakapagod yung games pero worth it yung pagod kasi super nagenjoy kaming lahat."
