Dagupeña leads PHL team to 6th ASEAN Quiz
A 15-YEAR OLD Dagupeña is leading the country’s team to the 6th ASEAN Quiz to be held in Vietnam in August 2014.
Reysanelle Claire G. Balolong, a third year high school student of St. Albert the Great School (SAGS) in Dagupan, earlier topped the national competition of the 6th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Quiz held January 23.
Earlier, Balolong represented the Ilocos Region during the ASEAN Quiz national competition and bested 16 high school students from other administrative regions in the country.
The other Philippine representatives are Kyle Vincent R. Singson of Pasig City (National Capital Region) who won as second place and John Vincent C. Derla from Negros Oriental (Central Visayas Region) who placed third.
SAGS has topped the ASEAN Quiz national competitions four times: Ritchell Catambay (2002); Dexter Jayrald Catambay (2004); Franchesca Anne Inacay (2012) and Reysanelle Claire Balolong (2014).
Then, it won twice in the ASEAN Quiz international contests: Ritchell Catambay (2002) and Franchesca Anne Inacay (2012).
A project of the ASEAN Committee on Culture and Information, the ASEAN Quiz is aimed at fostering the spirit of healthy competition and friendships among ASEAN youth. (PIA1-Pangasinan/AMM)
