Nine UPIS Grade 11 students participated in PhilosoBee, a quiz bee organized by Kabataang Pilosopo Tasyo (KaPiTas), for the first time last February 23 at Palma Hall, UP Diliman.

PhilosoBee is open to all UP Diliman undergraduate students and the UPIS representatives were the only senior high school students.

Adrian Bornilla, Dani De Leon and Caitlin Noroña were sent as Team Del Mundo while Fiel delos Reyes, Marianne Sasing and Jem Torrecampo were sent as Team GL Jaena. Another team called Team AppSci comprised of three other students from 11-F Del Mundo, namely Franz Candido, RD Novilla, and Denice Palicte, joined as a walk-in team. The UPIS representatives competed against 11 college teams.
