Thirty nine years ago, one man answered his own question: Is the Filipino worth dying for? Ninoy Aquino acted on what he strongly believed in, and laid down his life for our country. His example was one of the manifestations of principled and selfless service a value that the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines commands. To the 2013 TOSP National Finalists, my sincerest congratulations and appreciation for all you have done, and will continue to do for our country. You are but a few of the many Filipinos who decided to become catalysts of change and inspire countless communities to advance move with the spirit of service ad the values of caring, integrity and accountability. Continue to be living examples of the Filipino youth and commit to serve the country. Maybe this be the beginning of a lifetime commitment to learn and teach; to serve and lead; to inspire and affirm as many Filipinos as there are opportunities to make this country truly great. I have faith in the Filipino youth! Yes the Filipino Youth Can!

The TOSP Program has been an anchor social development program of the RFM family for several decades now and we are very happy to see that our program has created inspiration and positive change to our society, particularly the generations of Filipino youth who have truly carried forward in their lives the ideals of inspired leadership and passionate community service towards nation-building. Those who have been positively influenced by the TOSP program have definitely touched the lives of the people around them, creating greater optimism and hope for the Filipinos. To the TOSP of 2013, you have made us, your parents and family, teachers, mentors, friends and our country very proud. I admire your hard work, determination and optimism, qualities that have brought all of you to where you are today. While you have already made your mark, this is just the beginning towards a new chapter in your life that will really spell the difference and should bring about positive change in the lives of fellow Filipinos. I bid you to reach greater heights, but always with a heart to improve the lives of others. Congratulations once again to the parents, teachers and mentors of the 2013 TOSP! These brilliant young individuals are here because of you, who have been there to guide, teach, and impart your wisdom. You are Gods blessing to the young people, and I pray that you reap the fulfilling rewards of your labor as these young individuals achieve even more successes, that should also benefit the society. The TOSP gives all Filipinos hope and faith that this nation can definitely move towards a more progressive and globally competitive Philippines. Thank you.

Congratulations to this years finalists and awardees of the Ten Outstanding Students of the

2013 is the most exciting year to be a Filipino in the Philippines. And the world agrees. But in TOSP, for the past fifty-two years, every year is an exciting and inspiring time to be a Filipino in the Philippines. Because every year, TOSP is blessed and privileged to experience an immersion on grounded nationalism through moving community initiatives from thirty outstanding students of our country. This year, more than their remarkable feat on academics, leadership and social responsibility, TOSP celebrates their beautiful life stories on braving social issues and apathy, challenging complacency and status quo, transforming communities and lives, and boldly dreaming big for the Philippines. Since nation building is a collective effort, I would like to congratulate and thank the parents, mentors, institutions and communities behind the milestones of these bayani for dedicating their lives to mentor, nurture, and enable them. Indeed, as we honor not only what they have become, but what they can still be, we can truly say that the years ahead, Philippines will remain the most exciting place as our 30 National Finalists will lead this country to greater heights and bigger dreams. As early as now, I would like to thank this years 30 National Finalists for making our generation and TOSP Program proud of what they will become and can be for our beloved Philippines.

Philippines! As our country continues on a trajectory towards progress and positivism, may you continue to lead this generation with the values of COMMITMENT, SERVICE and INNOVATION the very traits needed for this country to progress: Continue to commit to excellence in everything you do with or without the watch of anyone. There is no room for complacency for the leaders of today and tomorrow given the vast opportunities present everywhere. Our nations growth needs to be fueled by more big dreams of your generation. Be leaders of service, men/women for others. People will never care how much you know until you make them know how much you care. Innovate, invent and inspire. Your fresh ideas may be the solution to our societys age-old problems. Powered by technology like social media, you have proven time and again that you are a potent tool for mobilization and change. Harness these gifts of modernization to the fullest of this countrys advantage. As you move forward, trust that we are one with you on this path towards building the nation. As we celebrate 85 years of delivering quality service, we commit to be part of this enabling ecosystem by establishing the strongest connections for, with and amongst the Filipino people. We will serve and serve with all our hearts, and we will advocate for growth not just thru technology but thru solutions that help improve the lives of more. At yan ang Pusong PLDT! To the institutions behind TOSP - our co-conspirators for nation-building, it is truly a distinction to be part of this yearly tradition of recognizing young national exemplars. We look forward to more collaboration for our countrys growth. Truly, a brighter future awaits!

National Book Store is proud to have been part of your educational journey that has led you to where you are today. We look forward to being your source for learning and productivity in the years ahead. The world is changing every second and we all have to keep up with millions of updates everyday. In turn, we have to constantly evolve and improve ourselves, by reading and continuing to learn. Congratulations on being part of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines. It was years of hard work and patience that made you stand out from among your peers. We hope you persevere in your quest to make a difference in our world while finding your unique calling and honing your talents. Goals take years to achieve and we look forward to witnessing where your dreams will take you.

Warmest greetings to the 2013 Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines as they receive their award at the National Awarding Ceremonies to be held at the Heroes Hall of Malacaang Palace on August 29, 2013. This annual search and formal recognition of outstanding students has become a tradition that traces its origins to the desire of Mr. Jose Concepcion, Jr., a well-known businessman, to perpetuate the memory of Jose Rizal, our national hero who embodied a students ideal qualitiesacademic excellence, exemplary leadership, good moral values, and social consciousness. What better way to honor the hero than to conduct a nationwide search for students who possessed these traits that distinguished them from their contemporaries. After more than fifty years, what began as an experiment has now become an important ritual where the nations brightest minds, most dedicated leaders, young people of great promise are given not only recognition for what they have achieved but, as importantly, an incentive to do the best that they can as they participate in the collaborative effort at nation-building. Past winners constitute an impressive group of individuals whose dedication and commitment to their professions have fulfilled the promise that they embodied years ago when as eager, enthusiastic, idealistic student leaders they initiated a fateful journey in the service not only of themselves but of a large community. With this recognition comes a responsibility that our ten outstanding students would be well-advised to embrace. The world out there is infinitely more complex and life is more challenging. But drawing on their experiences as exemplary students who gave more than their respective schools expected them to give, we are hopeful that they will be more than equal to the task of promoting the nations welfare. We hope to see them venture forth with steadfastness, courage and genuine love for the country. Congratulations and Mabuhay!

The 52nd Anniversary and Recognition Ceremonies of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines (TOSP) Awards Program is an occasion for thanksgiving, celebration and renewing commitment to face the new challenges ahead of us. When we launched our main values-oriented message-BAYANi with heart - to substantiate our idealistic outlook through concrete actions in nation building on our 50th year anniversary, we are reminded of our lifetime commitment. The challenges that beset our country are more complex and difficult. The TOSP never fails to reinvigorate our spirit and commitment imbued by our strengthened resolve to achieve a better Philippines. Our salutations to the 30 national finalists of the 2013 TOSP! All of you epitomize qualities and characteristics not only of students par excellence but you more importantly, continuously and tirelessly live out the TOSP ideals of academic excellence, impeccable leadership and responsible citizenship grounded in values geared towards nation building. You represent the best of what the Filipino youth can offer. May you always serve as a shaft of inspiration and reinforce the Filipinos trust in our abilities to shape the destiny of our nation. We recognize people and institutions for their contributions to your growth as effective nation changers. We are most grateful to your parents, family, relatives, friends, colleagues, school, immediate communities and other institutions for inculcating and nurturing in all of you love for country, servant leadership, academic excellence and social responsibility. Efforts to building a better nation becomes lighter and the challenges easier to hurdle when everyone collectively works for the betterment of our people. We thank RFM Foundation, the RFM Group of Companies, the Commission on Higher Education, Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company, Punongbayan and Araullo, and National Bookstore for their generosity and unceasing support to the TOSP. Finally, The Outstanding Students of the Philippines Alumni Community congratulates and welcomes all 30 TOSPians to the ever growing family of alumni change agents, nation builders, development managers and leaders. May we all (always) find strength in each other as we journey towards the fullness of life and for the next generations to come as we learn, lead and serve for life. In our own humble ways, let us help rebuild our nation.

Congratulations to the finalists and awardees of this years Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines! Today, you are at a crossroad a moment celebrating your advocacy of the values on collaboration, leadership, excellence, agility, respect and responsibility. 2013 is also a crossroad for us at Punongbayan & Araullo, where we celebrate 25 years of quality service to our clients and the accountancy profession. Both our journey are filled with trials and triumphs, challenges and rewards, learning experiences and growth opportunities. We can only emulate your worthy examples and tell your story to future students and student leaders of the country. Today, we stand at the beginning of a new page in our lives, amidst an environment that is continually changing, growing more complex and connected, and where development in technology promotes transparency but increases accountability. In this environment, we know that growth is about encouraging innovation and developing people. It is about supporting you bring out the best in yourselves and shouting out every day I make a difference. As you become part of the storied TOSP organisation, you will be part of an even greater whole dedicated to improving the lives of Filipinos, and advancing causes to develop future leaders. Make your mark for this is your legacy to the youth of tomorrow! Cheers!

From Pepe to Joecon

he was still publishing Student Life magazine. That was the optimistic life of Jose Concepcion, Jr., a modern-day hero whose idealism was fueled by and for the youth who have learned much from his example as Joecon. On the 100th birthday of Pepe, 1961, the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines (TOSP) was aptly established. With Pepe as the embodiment of a model student who not only achieved excellent academic citations, but also gave himself to those in need, TOSP continued to advocate the potential role of the youth in nation building annually until Martial Law was declared in 1972.

among others. Each was an outstanding college graduate who turned themselves into modern day Filipino heroes. Recognizing the need for TOSP message to reverberate from Aparri to Tawi-Tawi, TOSP expanded the program to the grassroots level. In 1994, it launched its pilot regional searches as prelude to the national-level awards in Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) for Northern Luzon, Region VII for Visayas, and Region XI for Mindanao. In the succeeding years, TOSP Regionalization was further expanded to include Regions II, III, IV-A, V, VI, and National Capital Region (NCR). This year, 2012, Region XII marked a milestone.

Legacy of Excellence

OSP is a continuing vision of two Joses, born in different generations under different circumstances. The first Jose paved the way for nation building through independence when he did all that he could for his countrymen from publishing provocative novels and poems whose writings stir nationalism and awaken consciousness to the occurrences during the Spanish regime to physically serving those who were in need. He died by firing squad, not for naught. That was the heroic life of Dr. Jose P. Rizal, a hero whose nationalism was instilled by a household who called him Pepe. Sixty-five years later, a visionary man who was aware of Pepes unwavering conviction on youth as the fair hope of motherland, commenced a Pepe-inspired awards-program to honor tertiary students who are exemplars and leaders in their own academic fields and in their contributions to society in the hope of inspiring others. He did this while

Every year, the Filipino youth is celebrated, affirmed and inspired as TOSP honors and challenges them to be lifelong exemplary models of academic and professional excellence, servant leadership, selfless community service, and positive social involvement...

But that was not the end of the road for TOSP. After its hiatus, in 1989, it was re-launched. From then on, it has continued to celebrate, affirm, and champion the noble and enduring spirit of the Filipino youth who serve as role model of academic excellence, exemplary leadership, and socio-civic consciousness anchored on good moral values. Joecons vision of recognizing young role models became a continuing commitment project of the RFM Foundation, the Commission on Higher Education, the RFM Corporation, and the National Bookstore in cooperation with The Outstanding Students of the Philippines Alumni Community (TOSP-AC), and the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company - the people and institutions. Over the years, TOSP has evolved from an awards program to a youth movement which believes in the capacity of the youth, nurtures their idealism, and galvanizes them into action. Indeed, from 1961 to the present year, TOSP has become a laboratory of leaders, producing outstanding contributors in the fields of governance, business, the academe, church and civil society. Among them are Cecile Guidote Alvarez, Dr. Patricia Licuanan, Evelyn Mandac, Bishop Antonio Ledesma, SJ, Atty. Rene Saguisag, late Senator Raul Roco, Sonia Malasarte-Roco, Victoria PinedaGarchitorena, Ricardo V. Puno, Soledad Aquino-Hernando, Ramon del Rosario, Paco Sandejas, Fr. Manoling Francisco

While the testimonies of the older alumni continue to inspire hope and idealism, alumni from the younger batches strive to carve their niche in their respective sphere of influence creating ripples of change that may someday turn into great waves of positive change and enlightenment. Pepes Example Lives On There are more regional and national finalists and awardees all over the globe who have done much for their fellowmen. From contributing to breakthrough researches in various fields and conducting capacity-building workshops involving different nations to helping students learn their lessons and deal with lifes challenges, the TOSP alumni have done it all for the purpose of living and spreading the TOSP credo learning, leading, and serving for life. Every year, the Filipino youth is celebrated, affirmed and inspired as TOSP honors and challenges them to be lifelong exemplary models of academic and professional excellence, servant leadership, selfless community service, and positive social involvement in furtherance of its commitment to galvanize peers and co-conspirators in nation building. Indeed, the shining example of Pepe inspired Joecon to leave youth a legacy called TOSP. 13

Malapit din sa aming puso ang mga taong binabawian ng buhay dulot ng ibat-ibang karamdaman na dapat sana ay nabibigyanglunas kung ang mga itoy nakatatanggap ng wastong pangangalagang pangkalusugan. And so we vow. We vow to work towards a health care system holistic in its approach, and to partner with social and political institutions for a health care system that adheres to the financial and socio-cultural realities of the ordinary Filipino. We vow to go the extra mile so we do not just heal but touch hearts as well. Magpapatuloy rin ang pagpupunlang binhing pagmamahal sa kalikasan. Ngunit ang punlang itoy kailangan ding sumibol, yumabong at tumindig nang matikas. While the Philippines is blessed with abundant natural resources and unparalleled biodiversity, Filipinos have yet to fully embrace their responsibility to protect the environment. Knowing this, we aim to synergize sustainable efforts in environmental conservation, and espouse values that will inspire a deep respect for the biodiversity that this archipelago has been endowed with. Sa paglutas ng mga suliraning pangkalikasan, marapat lamang na gamitin natin ang mga biyayang hatid ng ibat-ibang pagunlad sa larangan ng teknolohiya. Ang mga teknolohiyang ito ay makatutulong nang malaki sa pagkakaroon ng kalutasan sa kung papaano mapananatiling bansa ang mga yaman nito. It is high time to get out of the box, and explore technologys infinite use. Technology can further boost the sectors of energy, industry and agriculture. We look forward to the day that technology sets the pace of government services in a more upbeat tempo. And things are starting to look up for the Philippines. There are more and more good reasons to start a business in the country now. The economy is looking good and foreign investors are coming in, but the battles just begun. Poverty incidence is still high, and there is still inequality in the distribution of wealth. The challenge is to convince Filipinos to stay in the country, and to believe in this country again. We believe that as young social entrepreneurs, it is our responsibility to set the trend of starting a business not only to make our own lives good but to make the lives of our fellow Filipinos better. Tayo ngayon ay namumuhay sa panahon ng pag-asa kung saan ang sambayanang Filipino ay unti-unting napananauliang tiwalasa ating pamahalaan. We are in hopeful times, but we also recognize that the enemy that is corruption calls for a battle fought every day. It is not only about stealing exorbitant amounts of money but committing everyday acts of dishonesty. As the youth who will one day hold the reins, we want to draw the line and make sure honesty and integrity in governance are non-negotiable. At the end of the day, we dream of helping build a government that will ultimately serve the marginalized, the oppressed, the underserved and the powerless. And serving as the watchdog of the government is the media, an institution that struggles to strike a balance between engagement of stakeholders and relevance of content. As emerging journalists, we commit to make conscious efforts to improve our craft and live up to the basic tenets of journalism. We aspire a country with a generation of responsible and empowered journalists that will revolutionize the Filipinos way of thinking and transform them into a well-informed electorate. Tunay ngang masayang maging Filipino dahil dakila ang lahing ito. Masayang manirahan sa bansang Pilipinas sapagkat dama na ang pagbabago, dama na ang kaunlaran. Masaya maging kabataang Filipino dahil taglay naming ang natatanging dedikasyon, talino at paniniwala na makakamtan ng Pilipinas ang hinahangad nitong pagsulong. At lalong mas masayana taguriang bayaning kabataang Filipino sapagkat kami ang sanlaksa ng lakas namagsisilbing naglalagablab na liwanag sa tinatahak nating tuwid na daan. Maraming salamat po at isang mapagpalayang hapon muli sa lahat!

But most importantly, it challenged me to make sure that my only existence in this lifetime matters. Ronald Lopez, TOSP 2001 The TOSP Formation pushed me to make one of my biggest decsions in life: embrace my life as a journalist wholeheartedly. The Formation Program made me realized that I have a significant role to play in nation building and I can fulfill that role by being the best in what I do best. Five years and countingand Im still here. Cris Evert Lato, TOSP 2007 The TOSP Formation challenged me to do more, to be more. It strengthened my conviction in life, my love for God and country. Noorain Sabdulla, TOSP 2008 It articulated to me what nation building really is, gave me more sense to the TOSP label and gave me a network that has the same values as mine and that supplied me with life friends and mentors. Maj Dizon, TOSP 2008 The TOSP Formation made me realize that we can influence not because of our positions, nor how the society regards us, but because of who we are, how we maximize what we have, and driven by passion to selflessly contribute.

celebrate, affirm and hone the potentials, and bolster the aspirations of the Filipino youth. It is responsible for the development and implementation of the annual formation processes (at regional and national levels) that finalists undergo and is active in serving the nation through facilitation, training, community development and coordination services for the youth sector. Unity in diversity and collective efforts towards nation building guide the TOSP Alumni Community as it instills in all its members the commitment to learning, leading and serving for life. Strengthening Values, Renewing a Shared Commitment: TOSP Formation Reaffirming and nurturing the Filipino youths commitment to leadership, social responsibility and academic/professional excellence geared toward nation building - this is the essence of both the TOSP Awards Program and the TOSP Alumni Community. Promoting leadership and community building through learning exercises and sharing, it also celebrates the burgeoning idealism exemplified by this years National Finalists from all over the country and challenges them to continue lives of committed service in their communities as they pursue their careers. Considered as the soul of the TOSP Program by the RFM Foundation President and TOSP Founder, Mr. Jose S. Concepcion, Jr., it is one of the most memorable and life-altering TOSP experiences of the alumni.

asaya bang maging Filipino? Masaya bang manirahan sa bansang Pilipinas? Masaya bang maging kabataang Filipino? At masayarin bang taguri ang bayaning kabataang Filipino? Now, more than ever, it is exciting to be Filipinos. Batch Juan Lahi is excited that during these interesting times, we are Filipinos. We are everyday heroes in education, in the health sector, in the environment, in business and entrepreneurship, in technology, in the government, and the media. There is much to be done, but our hearts are in the right place. Everywhere there are challenges to overcome and today, on this hall of heroes, we commit to a bayani way of life. The last five days opened our eyes to the realities we are up against. At the same time, we learned how much of ourselves we are willing to give to make a positive difference.

Not very far from us are children plowing the farm or selling sampaguita instead of learning in school. Somewhere, children are risking their own safety to get a chance at an education.

Coming in third place is Spark Project, a Metro Manilabased team with its online crowd-funding platform to fuel innovative projects and received P200,000. The team is composed of Patch Dulay, Ian Corpuz and Krz Lopez. The Top 3 winners bested seven other finalist teams comprising entrepreneurs aged 18-30 years old, at the awarding ceremonies held recently at the Alphaland Southgate Tower in Makati City. It was a challenging task for the judges to pick the eventual winner for this inaugural youth challenge since all the finalists had very unique concepts and made powerful pitches that manifested their hearty desire and passion to help their respective communities, said Jonathan de Quiroz, PLDT KaAsenso product manager. With the success of the pilot Project Pagsulong, we will soon go back to the drawing board to start planning for the next run and hopefully get more exceptional business ideas that would help alleviate socioeconomic issues.

CareersForHealth by Team Alliance for Improving Health Outcomes (AIHO) earned the Peoples Choice Award with a P100,000 grant based on public online voting which generated more than 180,000 combined votes from the website, Facebook and Twitter. IAHO is composed of medical doctors namely Dr. Maria Ellen R. Licup, Dr. Paolo Victor N. Medina, Dr. Beverly Lorraine C. Ho, and Dr. Jacqueline Frances F. Momville. All winners seed money will be distributed in tranches depending on the milestones set and achieved by the teams in the coming months to ensure sustainability. Project Pagsulong was launched in July 2012 and received entries from 47 out of 80 provinces nationwide. Entries came from as far as Benguet province in the Cordilleras to Tacurong in Sultan Kudarat, Mindanao, and reflected both the needs of these provinces as well as the concerns of

todays youth over poverty. The entries were screened and trimmed down to 30 in September last year, which was then further brought down to the Top 10 Finalist-Teams in October 2012. The finalists attended a nine-day Bootcamp where they were mentored by industry experts. Consequently, each team was given a coach from the TOSP Alumni Community to help prepare for the judging come March 2013. The choice of the winners was based on the social impact of their respective projects, particularly in addressing a specific social need or issue; innovativeness, inventiveness and the use of ICT to enable their enterprise; the sustainability and scalability of the idea to generate revenue in succeeding years; and the teams leadership and management in executing the project.

Alay ng TOSP
Lyrics: Chivas Alejo, 2003 Music: Katherine Fernandez-Asis, 2001

Alay ko sa ating bansa ang isang munting kandila Siyang aking pag-asa

Daun tamu, Dihil taniyu Dolot tang gabos, Yatenang alay Ito ang alay natin sa Pilipinas

Mahirap man itong mabanaag Lumalaban ito kahit sa daang madilim Nang huwag tuluyang lamunin Sagut ko, Halad ko Pamowan ko, Dalit nako Daun ku, Dihil ko Dolot ko, Maka-enggay ko Kaya alay naming kabataan Ibat iba man ang pinagmulan Malinaw ang patutunguhan Tayong mga mumunting mitsa Handang handang maging tanglaw Ng kapwa ay makakatanaw Sagut tayu amin, Halad naton Pamowan tabi, Dalit nato

Pagmamahal sa ating pusoy walang kupas Siyang nagbubuklod sa ating bayan Para sa pangarap na kaunlaran Saanmang lupalop mapadpad Ang bangkang aking nilalayag Mananatiling nagliliyab Ang sulo sa ating mga puso Heto ang alay natin sa Pilipinas Pagmamahal sa ating pusoy walang kupas Siyang nagbubuklod sa ating bayan Para sa pangarap na kaunlaran Alay ko, alay mo Alay natin sa gabay ng Maykapal Alay ko, alay mo T-O-S-P sa lahing kayumanggi Alay natin
