The College of Science (Science) bagged bronze after obtaining an average of 84.8 percent.

AB topped the elimination round with 55 points. Education garnered 50 points while Science trailed with 46 points.

AB also dominated the extemporaneous speech category after scoring an average of 96 percent while Education and Science obtained 79 and 77 percent, respectively.

The final score for each team was composed by 65 percent of the score for the elimination round and 35 percent of the score for the extemporaneous speech round.
