Rizza Mae Cabrera and Simon Valenzuela, both from the Grade 11 Applied Sciences track placed 2nd in the Greenviro Quiz Bee last November 16 at the Environmental Management Bureau - Air Quality Management Training Center (EMB-AQMTC) Conference, Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Compound, Quezon City.

The competition consisted of two categories: Category A for Senior High School and Category B for College. This is the first time that UPIS joined this quiz bee.

"Sobrang nakakakaba po yung competition pero sobrang nakaka-excite din lalo na dahil iba po yung competition na ito [kumpara] sa iba pang [competition] na nasalihan namin. Personally, sobrang nagustuhan ko po yung topic ng quiz bee dahil tungkol siya sa environment," Cabrera shared on her experience in the competition.

The EMB organized the event to promote awareness on the current state of the country’s natural resources and the scientific processes and technology used by different agencies.

Cabrera and Valenzuela were awarded certificates, a plaque, and cash prize of Php15,000.//by Nica Desierto and Josh Santos
