will bring home the bacon.
“When we left for Naga City, I was very
positive that my kids were going to make it, and I reminded them that for
whatever we do and aim for, we are offering it to our beloved CatSU. And for
that we are thankful that despite the inclement weather in the country, we
returned home safe and with triumph”, Dean Olfindo shared.
As one of the HEIs in the island, CatSU is
honored to have been given the chance to participate in the event, with eight

get as much motivation that there is in preparation for the Board exams upon
graduation. I also feel proud to represent CatSU especially that this is the
first ever Anastasia Giron-Tupas Bicol Regional Quiz bee”, Benavidez proudly
shared.
The competition is an initiative of Dr.
