UPIS tops PSO elims

Two UPIS teams qualified for the final round of the Philippine Science Olympiad 2012 after topping the ranks in the elimination round held last September 8 at the Angelicum College.

The Philippine Science Olympiad is organized by the Philippine Society of Youth Science Clubs. It is divided into Bracket I (Elementary) and Bracket II (High school).

The UPIS students who participated in Bracket I were Jarod De Luna, Henry Marquez and Bertrand Diola. Their team was able to place in the top 20 for national level and top 3 for NCR level.
