The Negros Occidental Private Schools Sports, Cultural and Educational Association (NOPSSCEA) recently elected STI-West Negros University Executive Vice President Ryan Mark Molina as its new president, who expressed his desire to see the province rise above their competition in Region VI.

“We will look into how we [can] lift our team and beat the rest of the Western Visayas,” he said.

Molina also noted the NOPSSCEA Board will be focused on more academic development for both students and teachers.
