THE COUNTRY held its first ever online ozone layer protection quiz, and two students from Philippine Science High School emerged victorious in the finals, earning the right to represent the Philippines in the Asia Pacific sub-regional quiz in Bangkok.
Here's an excerpt from the PNA article that came out in Bayanihan.org:
This victory gave the tandem of Paulo Miguel Manzanilla and Lawrence Medina the right to represent the Philippines in the Asia-Pacific sub-regional ozone layer quiz in Bangkok, Thailand tentatively scheduled on June 30 this year, the DENR said.
Each of them will also receive a prize of PhP5,000 while their coach will get PhP10,000. The winning PSHS team will likewise receive roundtrip airline tickets and accommodation for the Bangkok competition.
The Regional Ozone Quiz is one of many activities planned for the 20th Anniversary of the Montreal Protocol on 16 September 2007. One of the most successful environmental agreements to date, the Montreal Protocol has succeeded in phasing out substances that harm the ozone layer in developed countries, led to the closure of many ozone depleting chemical producing plants, and deterred the creation of industries that use them.
