The 1^st Cagayan de Oro Speech Olympics (COSO) is a Speech Development and an English Speaking Advocacy project with the aim of developing the students in the area of speaking in the various forms.  As this is the first year of implementation, it is hoped that this will be successful in its implementation and the support of various sectors will be given.

Initially, the organizers have adopted 5 categories of competition. This will be expanded to other categories depending on the success of this year’s implementation.

At this time when DepEd has implemented the sports competition through the Palarong Pambansa and writing competition through the National Schools Press Conference, it is hoped that this 1^st Cagayan de Oro Speech Olympics will become a model for its implementation nationwide dubbed as National Speech Olympics!

Taken during the DepEd management committee meeting (ManCom) last January 28, 2010 and coach briefing on February 01, 2010 at the DepEd CIC hall.

This will be a 3 day event on March 10 – 12, 2010 every 1 o’clock in the afternoon at the Atrium of SM City Cagayan de Oro .
