by: DJ

The teams from Tabuk National High School swept all categories of Brainwars 2006 to rule the quiz bee held at the Tabuk People’s gym on December 23, 2006.

In Category A, SWA garnered the second place while STS Tabuk clinched the Third place.

In Category B, Saint Tonis settled for the second place after a tightly contested round, and another team from TNHS grabbed the third place..

The winners of each category received certificates and cash prizes distributed as follows:
1st place: 1,500
2nd place: 1,000
3rd place: 500

The event was originally scheduled on October 30, 2006 at the KASC “cogon” gym. The super typhoon “Cimmaron,” however, prompted the organizers to re-schedule the event to December in time for the Christmas break.

About 30 teams from different secondary schools in Kalinga participated in the quiz bee which was held on the morning of December 23 before the RockRockan Battle of the Bands Kicked off 5 hours later. They were asked questions randomly picked from various subjects namely Math, Science, General Knowledge, and Kalinga Trivia. Despite some minor lapses on the part of the organizers, the event proceeded smoothly.

Ms. Susan Mogao led the team in-charge of organizing the said quiz bee which will be held annually as part of UP GIMPONG’s thrust in raising the level of academic competitiveness among high school students.

The event was sponsored by the SK Provincial Federation of Kalinga thru the initiative of Ms. Janine Dagadag, and it was coordinated with the Department of Education-Kalinga Division office.
