Junior high school academic achievers Jude
Tadios, LykaOmnes, Alyssa Plaza and Eloisa Garcia, snatched the first place of SciMath
Quiz Bowl 2016 Wednesday.
Among the four
groups, their team, D, garnered a total of 30 points, allowing them to win.
“It was
thrilling. All groups were good,” Omnes said, an eighth grade student who held
a With High Honor certificate Friday during the 1st Quarter
recognition ceremony.
Plaza, who was
a With High Honor awardee and ranked top of her class in ninth grade, said that
she was only informed the day before and therefore, had not studied.
“We didn’t
expect winning. We were barely prepared,” she said.
The rest of
their group members, seventh grader Jude Tadios was acknowledged as a With
Highest Honor awardee and was also the top of his class. Eloisa Garcia, tenth
grader, on the other hand, also received the same award during the recognition
ceremony.
Brendan Salazar (Grade 7), Psalm Aquino (Grade
8), SanchiaAbrea (Grade 9) and Joel Econas (Grade 10) of Team B were the second
placers with a total score of 28 points.
Scoring a total of 25 points, Team A followed as third placers. The group was composed of Angel Calma
(Grade 7), Triziah Bondoc (Grade 8), Khayla Carreon (Grade 9) and Kyle Supan
(Grade 10).
Frederick Lim (Grade 7), Kate Torrecampo (Grade
8), RodessaPino (Grade 9) and LalaineOmnes (Grade 10) came in fourth place with
a total score of 24 points.
The quiz bowl was divided into three rounds.
The easy round was made up of ten questions, one point each. There were eight
questions in the average round, in which each correct answer merited two
points. The difficult round supplied five questions to the teams, and whoever
raised the board with the right answer was given an outstanding five points.
JHS math and science teachers Sir EldieOcariza,
Sir Hero Jorge, Sir Jason Rabi III and Ms. MechailaAlcontin were the organizers
of the event.
“By the given time, we can say that it wasn’t
enough for preparations. But, we’ve given our best,” Sir Jorge said.
He also commented that the educational
competition, despite the mishaps, was successful.
