Boys' and Girls' Week Celebration

"Gusto ko, mangin Leader ka."

In line with the annual celebration of Boys' and Girls' Week project of the Rotary Club of Iloilo City, forty-nine students from about forty-five public and private schools in the metropolis have occupied the highest positions in the city government.

The selected student leaders are performing the functions and responsibilities and work together with their counterparts in governance and legislation for a week.

This is one avenue that would provide opportune time for the student leaders to actually reign public office as well as to expose themselves to the “art and intricacies” of local governance.  

Series of exams and panel interview from the screening committee qualify them for this actual experience.

                This year, I am glad that my boy city councilor counterpart is Renz Ayongao, an academic scholar and a student leader from Paref-Westbridge School (school for boys). This academic institution is so close to my heart, because my four boys graduated from same school.
