The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) competing as “Dapog Manugtuom,” emerged as the champion in this year’s West Visayas State University (WVSU) University Days quiz bowl held Jan. 29 at the Research Building Function Hall.

The CAS team secured first place with a commanding 81 points, demonstrating consistent dominance across four rounds: beginner, intermediate, difficult, and advanced.

The College of Nursing’s “Dapog Manugsanlag” followed in second place with 63 points.

The battle for third place intensified as the College of Medicine’s “Dapog Manuglagpang” and the Integrated Laboratory School’s “Dapog Manuglupak” faced a nail-biting clincher round after tying at 62 points. “Dapog Manuglupak” ultimately emerged victorious.

Ma. Amelia Del Rosario of the champion team attributed their success to early preparation and strategic teamwork.

“A week before classes started, we already began reviewing the topics and answering practice questions. We also divided focus subjects among team members to be efficient. But the main ingredient behind our success is our teamwork,” Del Rosario said.

The event concluded with the awarding of winners, receiving resounding applause from spectators.

The quiz bowl showcased the academic excellence and competitive spirit of WVSU students while fostering camaraderie and friendly rivalry among participants.
