The day and the game was tightly contested and at the end with a total of 5,000 points was San Pedro High School.
The SPHS students who participated in the Senior division were: Jing Han (4C) and Vicky Balam (4C), their alternates were Lucio Nuñez (3A) and Cindy Novelo (3C). In the Junior division the two participants were: Emily Gomez (2A) and Ismael Kay (2E) and their alternates were Walter Tut (1C) and Yanni Garcia (2G).
The competition which is sponsored by the Social Security Board is a step taken by the organization to remain committed to participating in and spearheading good-will programs which impact positively on national development.
