And then there were ten

Thirty of them gathered from all over the country, each with outstanding achievements in their schools and communities, all strong contenders to become one of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines (TOSP).

Getting to the top 30 isn’t a task easily accomplished. Letters are sent to universities in different regions to invite two graduating students to the regional and national search. They are judged by their grade point average and their active participation in the community. The 30 qualifiers are then made to take part in a three-day formation process conducted by the TOSP executive committee and TOSP alumni. Business and government leaders then interview them to find the final 10.

LAST 10 STANDING

The top 10 students come from diverse backgrounds, with degrees ranging from accountancy to veterinary medicine. The advocacies they are involved in run the gamut of social entrepreneurship to political empowerment.

Different they may be, there is one great thing that binds them together: The desire to keep on serving their country. This year’s TOSP, in no particular order, are Cherrie de Erit Atilano of Leyte State University, Michael B. Gamalinda and Dennis V. Umali of the University of the Philippines-Los Baños, Herbert Klaus Martin C. Halig of De La Salle University-Manila, Luis Andres R. Abad of the Ateneo de Manila University, Julie Lucille H. Del Valle and Ben B. Secretario of the Ateneo de Naga University, Roma C. Padua of the Colegio de la Purisima Concepcion-Roxas City, Mark Carlo A. Pahati of the University of San Jose Recolletos, and Mary Kathryn V. Quinon of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas.

None of them ever dreamed of making it as far as they did, they all claim.

“There were a lot of sleepless nights before even getting into the top 30,” relates 21-year old B.S. Education graduate Julie Del Valle. “It was tedious getting to the top 30, you had to describe every achievement and talk about your reason for choosing that. Every interview was nerve-racking. The fact that I even got here is a mystery to me.”

“When I was in high school, I already knew of several prominent people in Iloilo who were part of the TOSP. It never actually occured in my mind back then that I would be one of them,” adds 21-year old Accountancy graduate Mary Kathryn Quinon.

Some of them didn’t even want to be part of it.

“My family and I were on vacation and I really didn’t want to take part in it initially,” says 20-year old economics graduate Luis Andres Abad. “But I was surprised that the focus was on trying to help each other out and discerning where we are being called to work for the country.”

Twenty-year-old accountancy graduate Roma Padua endured a 12-hour wait.

“During the day of the regional interviews, we were told that it would start at 7 a.m. I was already prepared by that time, but it turned out that I was going to be the last to be interviewed!” she recalls with a laugh. “Imagine the agony of waiting!”

The wait was worth it, but a lot of changes went along with it. From being star students, they found themselves in a playing field where abilities were basically all the same. Finding themselves in such an environment proved disconcerting for some and encouraging for others.

“Back in Ateneo de Naga I thought I was so good, and that I could do everything, but getting here made me feel intimidated by all these people around me,” relates Del Valle.

“I was intimidated at first,” says 20-year old Accounting graduate Mark Carlo A. Pahati. “All of them are so talented, it’s hard not to feel that way. But as the days progressed I began to see them as ordinary people who are just doing extraordinary things.”

For 20-year-old Biology major Michael Gamalinda, getting into the top 30 was an opportunity to rub shoulders with like-minded individuals.

“I was very happy to see people whom I share the same passion with: The passion to serve, lead and create more leaders for the country,” he says. “It was also enlightening because they shared these experiences that I’ve never had before. It’s a happy learning process. In your own region you feel like you’ve done it all, but each experience the finalist shared was always something new.”

Abad also enjoyed the laid-back attitude of the students he was working with.

“We were very relaxed, but substantial,” he says. “When you enjoy everything you do you just let things flow and do the best that you can possibly do, and I think that was what really made us outstanding.”

MORE FRIENDS THAN COMPETITORS

The thought of who would win the competiton had taken a back seat. That was why it was every bit a surprise for the winners to hear their names announced at the awarding ceremonies held in Malacañang.

“My world l stopped for five seconds,” says Quinon. “I was crying because I wasn’t even expecting to make it to the 10. Just being in Malacañang and seeing the President was already an answered prayer for me.”

Padua echoes the same sentiments.

“A competition of this size, on a national level, I didn’t expect anything,” she says. “I just wanted me and my mother to be in Malacañang, and I would have been happy with that.”

Each one of them has differing opinions about what made the judges lift them up to the top.

“I think they saw my love for service,” relates Atilano, a 20-year old Agriculture graduate. “I really love our land, and I have never felt inferior about the fact that my course isn’t as technologically advanced as some of the other courses that other students take. Who will till our tracts of land if everybody is producing finished products? Agriculture is the backbone of our society and should be duly appreciated.”

Twenty-one-year old Ben B. Secretario, a graduate of Business Administration says it was passion that the judges saw in him.

FAULTS AND STRENGTHS

As young leaders, all of them are painfully aware of both the faults and strengths of today’s generation.

“Todays youth suffer from apathy,” says 24-year old chemical engineering graduate Herbert Klaus Martin C. Halig. “Having said that, we are immensely creative and once we start something we really pour out anything we have to accomplish it. All we need to do is just remove that apathy and everything will roll out fine.”

Gamalinda and Padua both believe that it is the Filipino youth’s optimism that gives them the strength to build up the country.

“Today’s youth is so full of optimism,” says Gamalinda. “You see that the youth of this country working to correct the mistakes of the past in their own simple ways in their small fields. Some people may leave to go to greener pastures, but there are still young people who know that our country is still a green pasture that just needs tilling.”

“Our weakness is that we’re very fascinated with instant things,” says Abad. “We want immediate results. What we don’t see is the long-term, we don’t plan for that, and that destroys our future, not instantly, but slowly. We’re willing to help the country, but it isn’t easy to see where we are needed.”

“The Filipino youth’s greatest strength is adaptabiliy,” adds Pahati. “Things change so very quickly nowadays, especially with technology, and I think Filipino kids have been doing very well.”

“Somebody once told me that Filipino kids are dumb. I disagree,” says Del Valle. “Filipino kids just need motivation, they just need someone to encourage them and tell them that dilligence is much more important that intelligence. If you’re intelligent but you don’t have the passion to apply it, then you’re just wasting a great gift.”

These ten are certainly not wasting the gifts that have been given them, with the whole lot of them involved in varied advocacies all over the country. Quinon has been developing rural cooperatives in Iloilo, Gamalinda has genetics camps, Del Valle has her reading advocacy with Pathways, Padua, Secretario and Pahati have social entrepreneurship, Abad and Halig have their political advocacies, while Umali has his advocacy with chicken farmers.

All of these, says Abad, is part of the nitty-gritty of being a leader, and show what the TOSP is really about.

“Leadership is a creative task, and you have to be able to walk paths that have never been walked before,” he says. “The emphasis was never on the awarding or on Malacañang, but it was on the time spent with young people with the same dreams and different talents. This award should never be seen as the be-all and end-all of what we can do. This is a way of building a community of young Filipinos, an avenue to inspire one another and share our dreams for the country and in the future manifest it and turn it into reality.”

Quiñon wins 2007 TOSP Award
from http://www.upv.edu.ph

These things do not happen overnight –that is, being chosen as one of the winners of the 2007 Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines. For Mary Kathryn V. Quiñon, being an outstanding student started all the way from her elementary and high school years. Back then, she was already an honor student and an active student leader.

Mary Kathryn bloomed at the College of Management in UP in the Visayas. The challenge of being enrolled in a five-year BS Accountancy program did not deter her from being actively involved in the activities of various student organizations. In her freshman year, she was the 1st Year Batch Representative for the CM Student Council, 1st Year member of the Board of Directors for the JPIA- UPV Chapter, and the 1st Year Batch Representative for the Youth for Christ, UPV Chapter.

In her sophomore year, she was the Press Relations Officer of the CM Student Council, the 2nd Year Batch Representative for the Youth for Christ, UPV Chapter , and the Secretariat for the Kasama sa UP Visayas.

While serving as the Secretary General of the UPV-JPIA, Inc. in her third year, the organization was awarded as one of the 2005 Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (TAYO) at the National Level. Katherine also served as the Director for Planning and Resource of the UPV Laboratory Cooperative.
The call to serve continued for Katherine in her senior year. While President of the UPV-JPIA, Inc., the organization was cited as the 2006 Most Outstanding Local Chapter for Region VI by the WVFJPIA, Inc. and the Best Student Organization by UPV. In the same year, she was the Convenor of the 8th National Ayala Young Leaders Congress – ALAB (Batch ’06), the VP for Finance of the Iloilo Federation of JPIA (IFJPIA), and the VP for Finance of the UPV Catholic Voice.

During her fifth year, Katherine was elected Chairperson of the College of Management Student Council, member of the Board of Directors of the UPV Laboratory Cooperative, and the Finance and Marketing Officer, Ayala Young Leaders Alumni – Iloilo. She was also the Project Organizer and Over-all Head of BISTE, a CM Student Council Fashion Show for a Cause wherein entrance to the show was through five educational books for the CM Student Council Adopt-a-Community Project. In addition, she served as Production Head for the CM Play Festival 2006 and was the Student Representative in the Search Committee for Dean of the School of Technology, UPV.

It was in April of this year that Mary Katherine graduated cum laude in the BS Accountancy program of the College of Management. She continues to give honor and distinction not only to her family but also to her alma mater as well.

No less than President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo handed out the trophies to Quiñon and the nine other winners in a simple ceremony at the Malacañang Palace on July 5, 2006.

To be a TOSP awardee, one has to be noted for one’s academic excellence, exemplary leadership, community involvement , and good moral values. Katherine has all these and more. It was a well-deserved award indeed. (Lyncen M. Fernandez; UPV-IPO)
