Representatives of the Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants (JPIA), Kyle Aldrin Quilana and Janelle Rose Gandil of 1B, clinched the Mr. CBAA 2026 and Ms. CBAA 2026 1st Runner-up titles, respectively, in the recently concluded Mr. and Ms. CBAA 2026: Rise of the Icon pageant held at Diego Silang Hall, Sept. 16.

Gandil and Quilana competed for the crown alongside eight other pairs from different organizations within the College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA).

Quilana also bagged several minor awards, including Best in Advocacy, Best in Production Attire, and Best in Business Attire.

During the Question & Answer portion, Quilana championed his advocacy, highlighting the importance of digital financial literacy and inclusivity.

โ€œDigital financial literacy empowerment is [something] that everyone should be included. If we give young people the power and knowledge to master their money, we don't [just] give them the power to watch the world changeโ€”we give them the power to shape it,โ€ Quilana said.

Meanwhile, Gandil secured the 1st Runner-up spot, showcasing her wit when asked whether technology has made young people better at managing money or has made spending too easy.

โ€œI believe that technology has made it easier wherein cash payments can already be done through online payments. It can also lessen the time that the consumer consumes about buying products, especially for those people who are busy in their own lives,โ€ Gandil answered.

Their achievements brought pride to the organization, with Quilana now set to represent the college in the upcoming Mr. and Ms. UNP 2026.

From the roaring cheers and unwavering support of the audience, freshmen Janelle Rose Gandil and Kyle Aldrin Quilana rose above the other candidates, unleashing full potential during the Press Presentation of the Mr. & Ms. CBAA 2026 Rise of the Icons at the Diego Silang Hall, Sept. 15.

The program commenced with the opening messages of Organization of Business Administration Students (OBAS) Governor Justine Mae Tagayuna, followed by a message from the Dean, Dr. Erwin Tolbe.

The candidates were introduced and presented their advocacies, demonstrating intellectual and social responsibility beyond the crown.

Quilana focused on digital financial literacy, emphasizing the "giant digital puzzle where every piece represents your money choices and your future".

"Well, if you teach young people digital financial literacy, like knowing budgets to track spending or use mobile payments safely, people won't get left behind," he said.

He presented a three-step plan for his advocacyโ€“school workshops, peer mentoring, and youth programsโ€“aiming to expand its reach and dissemination to the communities.

"Digital financial empowerment should never be a privilege to serve [the] lucky few," he shared, emphasizing the importance of reaching to every community. "If we give young people the knowledge to master their money, we don't just help them watch the world change, we give them the power to shape it," he added.

Meanwhile, Gandil expressed her intent to empower the youth, believing that "we are not just only the future, but we are the change makers of today".

Her advocacy, RISE, an acronym for Recognize your potential; Inspire positive change; Speak with purpose; and Empower others, intended to uplift the skills and potential of every youth to be active in civic participation.

"Because I believe that true leadership is not about succeeding alone, but it is lifting others and helping them to believe in themselves too," she said.

Gandil put her long-term project into action through the partnership with OBAS on its Youth Empowerment and Leadership Day, accomplishing it through peer mentoring and collaborations with school and youth organizations.

"Because I believe that a rising icon is someone that does not rise above others, but someone who rises and bring(s) others," she said, signifying her goal of unity and camaraderie among students.
The representatives are set to shine among icons during the Pageant Proper on September 16 at the Diego Silang Building.
