Don Raffa Finishes 6th in Itanong Mo sa Taga-Pasay Quiz Bee 2024 Pasay City, December 13, 2024 — The “Itanong Mo sa Taga-Pasay Quiz Bee 2024”, a division-level competition, featured 29 schools competing for the top spot. After a rigorous contest, Don Raffa finished in 6th place. However, there was a close call as his performance was near the top rankings, and had his last answer been accounted for, he could have advanced further up the leaderboard. The quiz bee, which aimed to showcase the knowledge and intellect of Pasay’s brightest students, was a highly competitive event. Despite missing the higher spot, Don Raffa’s strong showing earned him recognition among the city’s top contestants.
