CABUSAS, LOPEZ CROWNED MR. MATH & MS. SCIENCE 2015

Khylle Cabusas, Gr. 9-Justice and Leandra Lee Lopez, Gr. 10-Perseverance won Mr. Math and Ms. Science 2015 respectively, at Asian College of Technology last September 22, 2015.

Cabusas, Mr. Math,  posed as Isaac Newton with his self-designed costume while Lopez, Ms. Science, represented the element air. Her costume was designed by her classmate, Nethania Pedrano.

"Cabusas was very smart-looking plus his costume looks good on him," Joan Lanas, one of the judges said.

Lopez was heavily applauded when she answered her question: What environmental problem will you solve if you are given the chance to travel back to the past?

"If I had the chance to travel back to the past, I'd choose not to because it does not solve anything. Humanity will always be as stubborn. I would rather start now and make a change to our world," she said.

Cabusas ,on the other hand, was asked how he would promote the importance of mathematics to his fellow students.

He said that he would ask them about their aspirations and then, use any mathematical problems that can help achieve them because with mathematics, they will learn and defeat obstacles.

His last sentence drew more cheers from the audience, "I believe also that mathematics does not only teach counting numbers, but it also counts the achievements and deeds that we completed in our life," he added.

Cabusas was also awarded for best costume and Lopez for the Best Production Number.
