After Typhoon Rai ripped power out along with internet connection, the fate of our 10 SSC Delegates competing in Harvard Model Congress Asia held virtually last 07-09 Jan 2022 was hanging in the balance. But all 10 decided to proceed and found ways to make it still. Some experienced being cut off during the 3-day event but soldiered on. Just being able to join was already a feat in itself. However, our brave SSC Delegates still mustered to bring pride to their school and country for winning 6 individual awards and 1 group award, emerging for the 2nd year in a row, as the #2 Overall for most-awarded school!
Congratulations to:
1) MJ Cobrito, S4 (Best Delegate – WHO)
2) Andre Quiokeles, Pre-U1 (Best Delegate – WHO)
3) Eddie Onglatco, Pre-U1 (Best Delegate – UN Human Rights Council)
4) Steven Patrick Yu, S4 (Honourable Mention – UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific)
5) Chung Bi Yoon, S4 (Honourable Mention – European Union)
6) Dwayne Khenley Ong, Pre-U1 (Honourable Mention – USSC on Foreign Relations)
Group Award: MJ Cobrito and Andre Quiokeles co-authored a Bill (International Genome Editing Bill) presented to the Secretary-General and the Deputy Secretary-General.
A BIG SHOUT OUT likewise to the rest of the 10 Delegates who, even without a coach this year – managed to work and help each other in this endeavour! We are so amazed and proud of you! Continue to soldier on, SSCians!
