Fifteen high school students were chosen as this year’s “Batang Lider” or The Outstanding Student Leaders of Iloilo City (TOSLIC) to be awarded on March 23, 4:00 p.m. at Robinsons Place.
They were selected out of 43 other youngsters after undergoing a stringent screening process.
“Continue becoming leaders because this country needs young and dynamic leaders to keep it running and to inject fresh and new innovative ways of addressing issues,” Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog, Founding Chairperson of HALIGI Foundation, advised them.
“Batang Lider,” awarded yearly by the HALIGI Foundation, inspires and motivates the youth to be more responsible and to take the lead in helping and molding their fellow youth to be more responsible citizens of the country.
