Mary Grace Khu, a CKS College Bachelor of Science in Commerce, major in Marketing student and high school batch 2011 alumna, topped the Philippine elimination of the 2014 Watercube Cup Overseas Chinese Youth Singing Competition (〝水立方杯〞海外華裔青少年 中文歌曲大賽菲律濱地區選拔賽) sponsored by the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) last June 15, 2014 at the FFCCCII auditorium.
For her feat, Mary Grace Khu will represent the Philippines to the world competition this July 20 to August 8 in Beijing, China.

Non- Philippine team members Brandon Sing, Skyler Claveria, Roanne Yu, and Precilla Aquino produced four gold medals each to mark the third day of swimming competitions in the 2014 Philippine National Games at the Rizal Memorial Pool.

Sing, a 16 year old high school graduate of Chiang Kai Shek, picked up his fourth gold in the boys’ 15 and over 50- meter backstroke in 29.76 seconds to add to his wins in the 200m back (2:21.42), 4x200m medley relay (2:01.42), and 100m back (1:04.24).

He broke his personal best of 29.85sec in the 50m back, a small feat for the upcoming Ateneo student this school year who dreamed of making into the Southeast Asian Age Group Swimming Championships next year.

“I’m pretty satisfied with how I fared this year. I think I performed better than last year,” said Sing, who will compete for Ateneo in the UAAP later this year.
