Milmon Bryce Tenorio bagged the Best Mooter Award in the General Rounds, while co-oralist Micah Dagaerag was declared Best Mooter in the Final Round. Representing the SU College of Law, Dagaerag and Tenorio successfully defended their positions which qualified them for the semi-finals and ultimately in the final round where they grabbed the championship trophy against the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

Most of the members of the moot court team are also volunteers of the Salonga Center.

The International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Moot Court Competition is annually organized by the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Philippine National Red Cross in partnership with the Philippine Association of Law Schools and the Supreme Court. This year’s host was San Sebastian College-Recoletos where the general and semi-final rounds were held. The final round on the other hand was held in the En Banc Session Hall of the Supreme Court. The Judges in the final round were Supreme Court Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, Prof. Harry Roque, Richard Desgagne who serves as ICRC regional legal adviser, Dr. Mario Aguja and Atty. Lorna Kapunan.
