A staff of Jordan Municipal Civil Registrar’s Office (MCRO) made his colleagues proud as he bagged the 31st Civil Registration Month (CRM) Provincial Quiz Bee award, making the team a grand slam winner.

Michael C. Esprago of Jordan MCRO bested his fellow contestants Robyn Lois C. Gaylan of Buenavista MCRO and Joan Faith G. Galon of Nueva Valencia MCRO in the Provincial Quiz Bee Contest conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)-Guimaras Provincial Statistical Office in partnership with the Civil Registrar’s Association of Guimaras (CRAG) held at Nueva Valencia on February 1, 2021.

Gaylan won second place, while Galon ranked third, and the other two contestants Josie Galimba of Sibunag MCRO and Mary Grace Apepe of MCRO San Lorenzo got the consolation prizes.

The top 3 winners were given certificates of recognition with corresponding cash prizes while the other two participants received certificates of participation and consolation prizes.

“The top two winners will represent the Province of Guimaras at the regional level quiz bee competition as one of the activities of the region in commemorating the CRM,” Provincial Statistics Officer Nelida B. Losare said.

Losare also explained that this year’s Quiz Bee competition had a twist: questions were not limited to civil registration matters alone but had a mix of statistics, gender-related issues and concerns, and current events.

The quiz bee contest aimed to test the level of awareness and readiness of the MCRO staff in answering queries of clients regarding civil registry documents processes, test their knowledge on statistics and awareness of the official data of their municipality, check their awareness on gender issues and concerns as well as on current events.

“I am grateful with the support of the contestants who bravely accepted the challenge to represent their municipality in the Quiz Bee contest, inspired by the presence of their local Officials, the contestants managed to unveil their expertise in the field of Civil Registration,” Losare said.
