The Philippine team won the fifth Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Quiz Regional Competition in Cambodia last Friday, the Department of Foreign Affairs said Saturday.

Members of the team beat 27 other contestants from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.

"The Philippine team grabbed a total score of 71 points. Cambodia came close with 70 points while Thailand scored 68 points," the DFA said.

Members of the team included:

- Franchesca Anne Inacay of St. Albert the Great School in Dagupan City (Region I)
- Kristiyanne Paul de Pedro of Koronadal National Comprehensive High School (Region XII)
- Maria Angela Krizelle Rubin of San Joaquin National High School in Calbayog (Region VIII)

In the first round, the Philippine Team got a perfect score of 20 points. It got 19 in the second round, and 32 in the third.

The first round had true-or-false items, the second had multiple-choice items, while the third round consisted of the "Fill in the Blanks" items for 40 points.

According to the DFA, the Philippines has been consistent in winning the ASEAN Quiz Regional Competition.

In 2002, the Philippines won first and second places in the individual delegate category of the competition.

In 2004, the country got the first place while in 2006, the Philippines won the second place. The Philippines won the first place again in 2009.
