On July 16, 2016, the participants attended a seminar at PCC Auditorium which aims to enhance leadership skills as well as to acquaint every participant. Then the contest proper started wherein participants were judged based on their essay, academic achievements and other extra-curricular credentials. The extemporaneous speaking and quiz bowl were held on July 18, 2016, at LimKetkai Mall, Cagayan de Oro City. In the extemporaneous speaking, each contestant was called to pick a number that will represent a judge that will tell them the topic to talk about for 5 minutes. Topics varies widely from personal question such as “Will you consider an Accountancy student as a boyfriend/girlfriend material?” to national and international issues such as “What is the greatest problem the world is facing right now?”
​

MSU-IIT was proclaimed as the First placer for the quiz bowl competition; CMU on second place and the Third place was secured by both MSU-IIT and Cagayan de Oro College.
