The Search for the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines Region VII 2012 has officially started.
Higher education institutions can now nominate graduating students who are outstanding in academic and co- and extra-curricular activities.
A screening will determine the Top 20 finalists who will undergo a three-day formation workshop and final interview on April 29 to May 1 in Dumaguete City.
TOSP is an awards and formation program that seeks to galvanize the youth into nation-building through exemplary academic performance, change-making social involvement, and inspiring leadership services to their school, local communities, and the country.
Since 1961, TOSP has been a laboratory of great leaders. In its roster are the likes of church luminaries Bishop Antonio Ledesma and Fr. Manoling Francisco, good governance icons Rene Saguisag and Raul Roco, social development gurus Vicky Pineda-Garchitorena and Sonia Roco, renowned broadcaster Ricardo Puno, and the current chief of the country’s higher education mandate, Dr. Patricia Licuanan who is the first awardee of the Search.
This year, TOSP is in search of that BAYANi student who, despite the demands and pressures of higher education, endeavours to serve his country and people; whose service to the school, community, and nation springs from a genuine desire and passion to make a difference in the lives of many with everyday great examples of heroism.
TOSP is a commitment of RFM Foundation and the Commission on Higher Education.
TOSP nomination forms can be downloaded at www.tospac.org, and send them to The Great Physician Rehabilitation Foundation Inc. at SL Teves Subd. in barangay Calindagan. (TOSP PR)
