Negros Wildlife Month: Sum-ag School Wins Wildlife Quiz

Winners of this year's Provincial Wildlife Quiz Bowl held at Robinsons Place on Monday were two 16 year-old students representing Sum-ag National High School.

Khara Jane Abuana and Anne Marie Amit faced tough opposition from 17 local high school teams, but their wide knowledge of wildlife and the environment saw them romp home in first place.

In second place was a team from St. Rose of Lima School and third was a team from La Consolacion College-Bacolod.

All three schools will compete with teams from Negros Oriental in the second Negros Island Wildlife Conservation Quiz Bowl to be held in Bacolod City on November 28.

Earlier in the day 18 local high school took part in an exciting On-the-Spot Poster Making competition. Winner was LCC student Cheenky Therese Bayona with her engaging poster themed 'It takes all kinds to make a world.'

In second place was Jorge Juance from ST. Benilde School. Third place

went to Ma. Janine Salamisan from LCC-Murcia.
