In the wide space of a certain place where the battle of the brains exists and the beat of a heart races, these two conquered beyond the horizon of the pen between answers. Not just sitting in the place where they belong, however, surpassing the ground of knowledge in the baskets of nutrition and preserving the value of being healthy with unity.
A field of golden plantations, the Municipality of Monkayo celebrated Nutrition Month Culmination with this year's theme:"Sa PPAN: Sama-sama sa Nutrisyong Sapat Para sa Lahat!" with the subtheme:"Food at Nutrition Security, Maging Priority! Sapat na Pagkain, Karapatan Natin!" on July 25, 2025, held at Monkayo Dome.Within this culmination, they also conducted competitions; more specifically, Nutri-Quiz Bee was represented by the duo of intellectual quizzers, Michael Javes Salugao, a Grade 12-STEM student, and Francis Xavier Esperanza, a Grade 10-STE student, of Monkayo National High School, where they showcased their passion and intelligence towards the competition.
As they were in the competition, they faced their opponents from East and West District Schools of Monkayo that tested their knowledge of every single detail of health and growth; however, it was not a hindrance, for they have a different kind of courage together with their coach, Arnold P. Asis, a Monkayo National High School teacher. “It was devastating, knowing that we had a chance of winning since we were leading at that time, but because of one question, the one that we hesitated to answer, we didn't make it. Moreover, we are quite pressured since one and a half days of reviewing isn't enough for us; however, we're still grateful for having this opportunity,” Michael Javes Salugao, a representative quizzer, stated. Moreover, their competition was not a waste, for they achieved and won 2nd place with a total of 61 points.
It's not only acknowledging the one they have lost over the competition; however, it's an acceptance of molding them united beyond baskets and treasuring what's inside the basket. It's a nutrition that everyone should acquire in order to be healthy, not just physically but mentally.
