After all is said and done in the PICEsiklaban 2023, the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers-University of Negros Occidental (PICE UNO-R) Student Chapter again finished first in the overall medal tally in with 29,300 points as of November 27.
After days of giving other regions hope that they have a rare shot to rule the roost, the university barreled through the field on the two-day grassroots sporting event, dislodging eventual second-placer CHMSU-Talisay and third-ranked STI-WNU, and ensuring the 2nd straight overall title dating back to the PICEsiklaban 2022.
CHMSU-Talisay, meanwhile, after leading the overall tally in the cultural event, settled for second with 26,600 points and STI-WNU marked the second runner-up with 23,000 points.
For the highlights of the sports event, UNO-R overpowered the opponents in volleyball, basketball and frisbee, securing the championship for overall sports, toppling the following runners-up STI-WNU and CHMSU- Talisay.
With goosebumps-inducing performances, CHMSU-Talisay spiced up the stage for the songs and yells, sing and dance categories, and the highlight of the event – Mr. and Ms. PICE NOC 2023, featuring the crowd’s bets Yvan Lambot and Riza Mae Lozano.
