Selected students from Grades 7 to 10 participated in the first Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Quiz Bee at the UPIS Auditorium last February 15.
The students were divided into nine teams with three to four students each. For four rounds, i.e. easy, average, difficult, and bonus, they answered questions about the SDGs and related concepts in Science and Social Studies.
Team 2 was declared champion with 170 points. Sean Cuevas (7-Venus), Isabel Biason (8-Ladybug), Emman Caasi (9-Gold), and Marius Barcenas (10-Lauan). Team 9, which comprised Freenzy Molina (7-Neptune), Adrian Mayo (8-Honeybee), Diana Romero (9-Silver), and Celina Morales (10-Yakal), won first runner-up with 160 points. Lastly, Mikaela Baylosis (7-Neptune), Eda White (9-Silver), and Jana Garcia (10-Yakal) of Team 3 took second runner-up with 125 points.
Prof. Sharon Aguila, KA Adviser, expressed the importance of the event to the students. According to her, "Sa pamamagitan ng pagsali nila sa patimpalak, makikita natin kung ano ang alam ng ating mga mag-aaral sa mga SDGs.... gusto natin makita kung gaano [sila] kahanda sa pagtugon ng mga suliraning pambansa at pandaigdig." (Through joining the competition, we can see the knowledge of our students about the SDGs... we want to see how [they] are ready to face national and international issues.)
The SDG Quiz Bee was a part of the celebration of UPIS Days with the theme SANDIGAN: Magkakasama. Magkaagapay. Magtatagumpay. It was coordinated by the KA 7–12, Science Society, and Kilusan ng Araling Panlipunan. Cy Licuanan (9-Gold) and Craig Aquino (12-Kalayaan) hosted the program, while Prof. Brenson Andrés served as the judge. //by James Tolosa
