BAGUIO CITY (Aug. 14) – Accountancy students from the University of the Cordilleras (UC) last week emerged as champions in the Regional Accounting Quiz Bee of the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants held at San Fernando City. Senior UC accounting students Cherry Lyn B. Sabawil and Willy P. Chavez beat other contestants from six other universities in Northern Luzon to bring home the cash prize of P1,500.00 each and an P8,000.00 worth of scholarship at the Philippine School of Business Administration.
The two students also brought home plaques of recognition certified by PICPA Northern Luzon Regional Director Nelson Chan, La Union chapter president Atty. Rodel Lopico, and quizmaster Ruel Addatu.
Sabawil and Chavez beat contestants from the University of Northern Philippines in Ilocos Sur, the Don Mariano Marcos State University in Ilocos Norte, Union Christian College of La Union, St. Louis University of Baguio City, University of Pangasinan, and the University of La Sallette in Santiago City.
UC College of Accountancy Dean Ramsay Colorado, who acted as team adviser, revealed that this is the second time UC has won the grand prize in a regional accountancy championship after winning the same title in 2003.
He added that UC will be preparing to defend its title in the upcoming national PICPA quiz bee scheduled in Baguio City by October.
The accounting quiz bee coincided with the 2007 PICPA Regional Conference held last August 8 at the Capitol Building of San Fernando City in La Union.
