University of San Carlos Cebu reigned supreme over four other grand finalists to win the EU Whiz 2024 Championship held recently online and at the SM Aura.

Organized by the Delegation of the European Union (EU) to the Philippines, EU Whiz 2024 brought together some of the country’s brightest students in a test of knowledge about the EU’s history, institutions, and its 60-year partnership with the Philippines.

University of San Carlos with team members John Michael Paman, Cearlovey Granali, and Eriko Angelo De Castro, took home the top prize after a hard-fought contest that tested their mastery of EU-related topics.

The team from Ateneo de Manila University, with team members Juan Egie Follero, Ardy Emmanuel Tagle, and Daniel Christopher Galuna, secured the 1st Runner-Up position, while Ateneo de Davao University with team members French Bandong, Jhoanna Cayanan, and Kim Generalao, placed as the 2nd Runner-Up.
