As part of the 62nd Foundation Day of the University of Antique with the theme UA Strongly Anchored on Quality Assurance, 6,000 students and teachers created a human anchor formation with hopes of beating the Guinness World Record for the World’s Largest Human Anchor Formation. And they did!

That’s a bird’s eye view of the anchor formation, which they said was formed in less than five minutes. Pretty cool, huh?
A Guinness representative was there to hand out wristbands with serial numbers to verify the participants and a representative from the Commission on Audit (COA) was also there to count the participants.
On the official website of the University, they explain that “The human anchor image was made in honor of the Filipino maritime professionals and at the same time is symbolic to the University of Antique because they are offering the Enhanced Support Level Program leading to B.S. Marine Engineering and B.S. Marine Transportation.”
Which Guinness World Record should the Philippines break next? :p
UNLESS it’s a functional anchor! And it’s so funny the word “angkla” because everybody knows that especially to the 90s kids who have watched Popeye. I’m not trying to burst the fun bubble here but ano hanggang dyan na lang tayo??!? Mga estudyante pa naman sila at sa tingin ko meron pang mas kapaki-pakinabang na school project or activities bukod sa pag-gawa ng walang kabuluhan na record. Ok let’s say that any country can attempt to beat that anchor pattern but these Only-in-the-Philippines-World-Record-Because-It-Can-Only-Be-Found-In-Philippines like:
1. Longest ihawan ng isda/patupig
2. Largest broomstick made in Baguio
3. Largest biko / puto / sundot-kulangot
4. Longest chain of duster from chismosang kapitbahay
5. Largest gathering of girls wearing pekpek shorts assembled in Sagada / Buscalan
6. Largest tummy of a police official who can no longer run
7. Longest suman.
8. Longest espasol.
9. Largest tsinelas
10. Most noisiest celebration.
and there’s so much more non-sense world record attempts.
