From France, Ms. Phuong Do, PN Global Executive Director, and Ms. Aurelie Bureth, Deputy Director, acknowledged their delight in the graduates’ accomplishments, emphasizing the countless opportunities that await them.

This year’s Medal of Excellence Award was unanimously chosen, and the honor went to a remarkable individual who truly stood out. Throughout her journey as a PN scholar, she excelled academically and emerged as a community leader, a 1st-century individual. Her dedication, resilience, and leadership made her a role model for her peers. She is Anne Castro, a young lass from Daan-Bantayan; a shining example of what it means to dream, lead, and inspire.

The Best in Capstone Award was given to Syvert Jay Matorinio, Anne Castro, Carmel Mae Sombilon, and Micaella Angela Lara for their project entitled “EnerVision: Empowering Homeowners in Energy Management Through a Mobile Solution and Community Platform”. Their project EnerVision, introduced a mobile application designed to help users, including homeowners, renters, and individuals, manage their energy use effectively.

This year, Chielo Elguerra, who represents PN’s core values, was proudly given the PN Leadership Award.

Be brave,
