DAVAO CITY (Mindanao Examiner / Mar. 16, 2013) – The Junior Chamber International Duwaling Chapter has recognized 30 valedictorians and 30 salutatorians from the selected 30 public and private high schools in Davao City with the Youth Leadership Excellence Award in a ceremony held here on Saturday.
The Youth Leadership Excellence Award is a youth-led, innovative program of JCI Philippines – the leading global network of young active citizens. It offers the highest recognition and esteem for a truly outstanding performance in the schools where the selected students completed their secondary courses.
The awardees truly exemplify the belief of this 2013 YLEA partner and sponsor San Juan Rep. JV Ejercito Estrada, a known advocate for the youth, that “Kabataan ng Bayan, Ikaw ay Maasahan.”
Indeed, the achievements of these students inspire excellence, encourage confidence and unleash the potential that would create positive impact in the lives of the Filipino youth.
“Through this award, it is our enduring aspirations for all young people to continue to be successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors to our community, to our society and to the nation,” Irelan Abapo, president of JCI Duwaling Chapter, said in a statement to the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner.
