Message from a former awardee

It has been three long years when I was also one of the recepients of such a prestigious award as One of the Ten Most Outstanding Secondary School Students of Iloilo; then, eventually, belong to a circle of great minds, leadership and achievement, the Outstanding Students Circle of Iloilo. I know exactly how happy and proud this year's awardees are.


I would like to extend my congratulations to all of you from me here across the globe. I am currently in Brazil stepping on another stone towards my dream.

Continue to live your dreams, whatever path you take as long as you are focused on that dream. I wish all of you good luck and may you live with the challenges, not just the recognition, the OSCI has given to you.

Bamos Patricios! Obrigado!

Congratulations to the Ten Outstanding Elementary School Pupils and the Ten Outstanding Secondary School Students of Iloilo for SY 2008-2009.

I am glad that for this school year, ten outstanding elementary pupils and ten outstanding secondary students from the province of Iloilo, City of Iloilo, and Passi City were chosen and honored in a simple awards ceremony. Indeed, these students deserve such recognition considering their exceptional academic achievement, outstanding leadership qualities, personal integrity, and service.

Through the quality of leadership that you exhibit, you have distinguished yourselves among other students as you contribute to the enhancement of student life in the school campus.

Indeed, you serve as inspiration to your fellow students and a source of pride for your school, family and friends.

I commend the Outstanding Students Circle of Iloilo (OSCI) for spearheading this search for outstanding students in Iloilo. Your efforts continue to inspire the youth to pursue academic excellence and student leadership.

Mabuhay!

The concept of education focuses on the objectives anchored on the belief that the nation could be developed by producing quality graduates in as many disciplines as it possibly can. Graduates who can surpass the crises of the country, and who can emerge as winners despite the challenging economy. Thus, the Search for the Most Outstanding Students was born.

I salute the organizers of the yearly quest for versatile students, your efforts had taken education to greater heights. Continue in motivating our youth to be their best selves and in paying recognition to their accomplishments.

To the parents and teachers of the awardees, I convey my sincerest felicitation in molding our children to become competitive individuals.

Kudos to the awardees! Your journey towards excellence never stops when you receive your award. This is the dawn of a new era of perseverance and diligence. Keep going! However, aside from being intelligent, our county needs youth who are imbued with desirable virtues and sound values. We hope that we produced citizens who are honest and God-fearing for this is what our country needs to progress and to be known again.

It brings me great pride to know that there are youngsters here who truly excel in academics and who give a high premium on education. There is no better gift to us parents than the knowledge that our children are working just as hard to be extraordinary students.

I would also like to commend the Outstanding Students Circle of Iloilo for honoring these wonderful students who truly make a difference. Your support and your cognizance of their achievement will certainly motivate other students to make it in the years to come.

“What you are is God’s gift to you, what you become is your gift to God.”

It is a great honor and privilege to greet the recipients of the Ten Outstanding Elementary Pupils and the Ten Outstanding Secondary School Students of Iloilo award; and the Outstanding students Circle of Iloilo for spearheading this program.

Indeed, it is appropraite to give you due recognition and acknowledgment for the success you have achieved. I hope that giving recognition will surely inspire you to move forward and make the best in whatever field of endeavor you may wish to pursue.

Being chosen as an awardee is a big achievement by itself but a bigger achievement would be using your knowledge in the service of your respective communities later on. It would mean nothing unless it widens your vision and leads you to contribute in nation-building.

I therefore encourage you to give enormous effort and commitment to your studies to attain remarkable achievements. I challenge you to excel in all undertakings. Keep up the good work and my warmest congratulations to all of you.

Carry on awardees!

Message From The Chairman

A student can chart his own path forward. His success is not bounded by the remoteness of his school, nor the humble finances of his parents, but only by the clarity of his dreams.

These are some of the lessons I have learned from the years that I chaired the Outstanding Students Circle of Iloilo (OSCI), which was entrusted with the annual search for the Ten Outstanding Elementary Pupils and the Ten Outstanding Secondary School Students of Iloilo.

Our awardees come from schools of varying economic and educational standards. All are believers of honest toil, perseverance and dedication. They have excelled not only in the academics, but also in community and inter-school activities, strengthening the notion that co- and extra-curricular activities must be regarded as mainstream classroom strategies.

We, OSCI members, were also awardees of the same distinction in the past. Therefore, we know the feeling of a student who receives an award he worked hard for and he truly deserved. As such, we continued this annual activity as a legacy from the past. We hope that, after us, our present awardees will carry on with this legacy and be a beacon for future students to perform better and achieve more.

Congratulations to this year’s awardees. Welcome to the Outstanding Students Circle of Iloilo.

HENRY BUERON CASPE
Chairman, OSCI

Math and Music they say compliment each other. That was proven correct by MONIQUE CAJANDIG, a math wizard and a musician. Monique plays both piano and organ not only at home but also in social and religious gatherings At the top of her class, Monique has mastered her numbers.More Power MONIQUE!From your CISAT Family
