Coach Jinky V. Mangad expressed heartfelt pride in the students while acknowledging the strength of the competition. โI am truly proud of these students. We knew many competitors were senior high school participants while our team came from the junior high level, but they showed courage by stepping forward and giving their best. More than the results, it was their determination and willingness to learn that mattered most,โ she said.
Students who placed in the top three of their respective categories have qualified to represent the division at the upcoming Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC), scheduled to be held in Abra this March 2026.
