THE “BAYANIHAN spirit” is very much alive and kicking in the Summer Capital.
This was proclaimed by Baguio Schools District Supt. Federico Martin in Monday’s flag-raising ceremonies at City Hall before local officials and employees headed by Vice-Mayor Edison Bilog.
He announced several Baguio schools won first place in the 2017 Regional Brigada Eskwela Best Implementing Schools Awards including Crystal Cave Elementary School, medium category and Baguio Central School, mega category, Happy Hollow National High Schoo in the secondary level, small category; Roxas National High School, medium category; and Baguio City National High School, mega category.
Martin revealed this year’s Regional Search for Most Eco-Friendly Schools, Baguio Central School won first place in the elementary level while Pinsao National High School also garnered first place in the secondary level.
A special award went to Lindawan Elementary School.
The BCNHS-Special Program for the Arts was also declared champion of the NAMCYA Youth Rondalla Northern Luzon Qualifiers held November 21 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
Martin stressed all these achievements were the result of a strategic alliance between the Department of Education and various stakeholders from the government and private sectors.
“We firmly believe that education is too important that it cannot be left to educators alone,” he said.
