Another student from Gensan tops the Population Quiz held recently in Koronadal City besting representatives from the different cities and provinces in the whole of Region XII.
Helen Burtanog a forth year student of Mindanao State University-College of Education Training Department emerged victorious in the annual contest conducted by Population Commission.
Burtanog won the local Population Quiz held on October 6,2010 where she bagged first place from the 29 students from the private and public schools in the city.
The local competition is conducted by the City Population Management Office headed by Ms. Erline Grafilo which form part as one of the activities of the office during the Population Month celebration.
Ms. Grafilo recalled that it was in 1998 when the city won the first place in the regional competition. It’s like a ladder to success because last year our representative placed second, and the other year is third.
Burtanog receives cash prize and medal while her schools receives a plaque. Next year she will be representing the region in the national competition which will be held in Tarlac where the winner last year came from.
Grafilo has high hopes for Burtanog to bring home the bacon and will be an opportunity for the city to host the competition in case our representative wins.
