True to one of the university’s core values, excellence, two VSU freshmen students, Aj Ian Senoc and Marc Vincent Pitogo, showed their wit as they took home gold and silver, respectively, in the 26th Philippine Statistics Quiz – Leyte Province Eliminations, held last November 10 at the PSA RSSO VIII, Tacloban City.
Senoc and Pitogo, both freshman civil engineering students, competed with other freshmen from different university institutions in the province in the said event.
Pitogo expressed that they only have a limited time to prepare for the Provincial Elimination.
“The scheduling for the provincial [elimination] was ambiguous at that time so we were surprised by the competition date, we were informed 7 days before and prepared roughly 3 days,” Pitogo said.
However, this did not falter the two delegates, especially as Pitogo already had a background experience on statistics quiz bee during his junior high school days.
“I have a background on statistics quiz bee during my junior high days, and now more motivated to join because of the cash prize,” Pitogo added.
The two will again vie to remain at the top for the Regional Level of the 26th Philippine Statistics Quiz representing the province on Monday, November 14, at The Summit Hotel, Tacloban City.
