Before advancing to the Regionals, our students had to first secure victories in their MisOr Provincial Eliminations, where they competed against other top students from across the province where Mr Khlienn Ernest Nemeño won the Provincial Champion. Ms Nea Jie Salomsom and Mr Neil Ivan Cutob secured the 1st runner-up and 2nd runner-up, respectively. 

The contenders they faced in the Regionals were all champions from their own provinces, making the competition especially fierce and the accomplishment even more remarkable.

The Regional Champion, Ms Nea Jie Salomsom, is now set to represent Region X in the upcoming 28th PSQ National Championship, a prestigious event where the best from across the country will compete.

The triumph in the 28th PSQ Regional Competition, marks our 9th championship in this prestigious event. Even more remarkable, this marks the second consecutive year that our students have earned the honor of representing Region X at the National competition.  

This victory is a testament to the hard work and perseverance of our students, as well as the support and guidance they have received from their coach, Mr Pejie Santillan, the Chair of the Math Department. And also, the support from their respective colleges- CAS, COE and SBM.
