CEBU, Philippines - At least 126 honor students from Talisay City’s public elementary and high schools received their cash incentives yesterday afternoon at the People’s Hall.
The distribution was led by Gerald Anthony “Samsam” Gullas, Talisay City Sports Commissioner, Vice Mayor Alan Bucao, and Councilors Choy Aznar, Edward Alesna, Semy Cabuenas, and Rodi Cabigas.
The recipients were the top three of the graduating batches from the elementary and high schools.
Councilor Dennis Basillote, chairman on council committee on Education, said he hopes to double the incentives next year.
In last week’s session, Basillote filed his proposal that seeks a cash incentive of P3,000 for the valedictorian, P2,000 for the salutatorian, and P1,000 for the first honorable mention.
The proposal was referred to the committee on laws. – (FREEMAN)
