THE Mindanao State University (MSU) in Gensan was rewarded in sending its students to the 1st Global Minds, an Inter-Mindanao Schools Information Communication and Technology (ICT) Quiz Bowl held in Port Café Hall, Gaisano General Santos.
Zainal Mohammad Limpao Osop, a senior IT Science student of MSU, bested 13 other participants from different schools in Region 12 and emerged the grand champion.
Joseph Ivan Mordeno of Notre Dame Kidapawan College and another MSU student Richard Panes settled as first and second runners-up, respectively.
