Regional Science High School-02 (RSHS) science whiz gave pride to Region 02 after clinching the championship title during the 32nd National Science Quiz Bee at the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP), Tagaytay City.
Mitzi Love C. Syjongtian, the science whiz, toppled other contenders from the nine regions of the country, icing her victory with a 21 overall score against the 15 points of her closest rival from CALABARZON.
“Winning in the National Science Quiz Bee is like passing through the proverbial eye of the needle since one needs to compete with the best quizzers of the country, but I’m glad I ended victoriously and was rewarded a gold medal and a five-feet trophy,” said Syjongtian beaming with a smile.
The science quizzer also told that her victory in the said competition is credited to her coaches who mentored her for four years- from her first battle in the 2009 National Science Fair at Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro to her winning streak in the RSHS Science and Mathematics Summit in Zamboanga City.
Syjongtian is the first national champion of RSHS-02 and the second national champion of Region 02 in the said competition.
Meanwhile, RSHS-02 principal Dr. Fabio M. Macalling Jr. told that RSHS-02 is always committed to give the best Science instruction not only to repeat the victory of Syjongtian but also to sustain its status as the center of science education in the region.
“We have been eyeing the champ crown for three years and Syjongtian ended our quest for that elusive gold medal, closing the school year with a remarkable victory,” he said.
Apart from the gold medal and trophy, Syjongtian also received two round trip tickets to any tourist destinations of the country courtesy of Air Philippines Express while DepEd Region 02 gave her P5,000 and DepEd-Isabela handed the national champ with P6,000.
