A
mong the four houses, the Battle
of the Brains (BOB) grand finals is the most
anticipated event of the entire school year
- for this might make or break a certain
house’s standing or lead over the rest. This
said event was held at the covered court
on the 21st of February, Friday and both
the Emerald and Crimson houses ruled the neophytes and masters rounds.
The BOB finalists were determined through the number of wins in the
elimination rounds given at least once a month for grade 1-10 students.
“Battle of the Brains” is an activity that gives each student a chance to
showcase their brainpower,” said T. Dealson Bagorio, the committee head of the
event.
The grand finals had two categories: Group A which was composed of
Grades 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 - the NEOPHYTES; and Group B which was consisted of
Grades 6, 7, 8A, 8B, 9 and 10 students - the MASTERS. In all, there were 5 NEOPHYTES
contestants and 6 MASTERS contestants in each house.
“I felt happy when they announced that we won. Prayer was our weapon
in order to win. Teamwork was our key to succeed,” remarked Chaezie Chariz C.
Cabel, a participant from the Emerald Neophytes group.
Emerald House won in the Neophytes group while the Crimson House
bagged the Masters round. The Emerald Neophytes group was composed
of Romeo Donn Lloyd V. Palacat, Johanna Dannae S. Canonero, Red G. Ruiz,
Chaezie Chariz C. Cabel, and Jose Diego Felix A. Manubay. On the other hand, the
Crimson Masters group was a power team
with Jehoash Prim Amaza, Inigo Benigno T.
Aquino, Aeron Jan O. Sanidad, Pomeleigh
May G. Salangsang, Ma. Jayna Koleen F.
Omila, and Charles Andre D. Nanola.
“This is the Quantum greatest
event of the year. I felt like a lame person
being able to walk,” uttered Inigo Aquino,
a contestant from the Crimson House who was also this year’s Masters Rounds’
champion.
