Rizal Youth Program Awarding Ceremonies
July 6, 2011

Serving as a fitting culmination to the successful staging of the week-long series of exciting activities called the Rizal Youth Program that which took place from June 27-July 1, 2011, YGC held the Awarding Ceremonies last July 6, 2011 at RCBC Plaza Courtyard. All the Top 10 placers from each contest were invited to join the event. To add more excitement to the contestants, the results of the contests were kept secret, with the winners being revealed only at the last minute. With big cash prizes awaiting the winning contestants and fabulous prize showcases awaiting the winning schools, the student-contestants, teachers, school principals and their supporters were all very eager to know the results.

The event was made all the more impressive by the presence of the DepEd Secretary, Hon. Bro. Armin Luistro and DepEd OIC for the Office of the Regional Director, Dr. Elena R. Ruiz. Both DepEd stalwarts shared their precious time with YGC and the schools. On the other hand, no less than the YGC Chairman himself, Hon. Amb. Alfonso T. Yuchengco and RCBC Chairperson, Helen Y. Dee led the list of distinguished guests from YGC.

Everyone who attended the event had a great time. They were entertained by the 3 intermission numbers performed by the student-winners, not to mention the excitement generated by the announcement of winners.
