Undeniable Contribution
She received the award for her undeniable contribution in the city’s education and society.
The one that really pushed me to bring my students to help is that it will always make you feel good at the end of the day, that you did something for other people.

This Filipina pride is the only female recipient of the award among 7 other awardees. She is also the first Filipino to receive the prestigious award.
