According to the CFR Director, the winners will be sent to re-regional and national student research conference.

The CFR wishes to thank the students who contributed to the success of the program: the devotional leaders, the devotional speakers, Jason Montera, Rodolfo Tangente, and Ham Geg Manggasang; the musical groups who gave special music and intermission numbers; CSC President Noel Lagunday for the overall coordination, Abner Labadan for sleepless nights designing and printing the program and certificates, Ham Geg Manggasang for making sure the nightly program ran smoothly; Murphy Arcilla for photo and video documentations; Phil Clinton Carbonel for making sure there was money for the snacks; Louella Panal, Rethetalyn Diestro, Jesame Grace Rada, Lyka Pactol, Redeem Testa and Gondi Badao for being extra hands, and most of all, the PRESENTERS.
