Excellence in leadership and community service—Jan Christian Española, John Elmer Loretizo, and Charles Arthel Rey were chosen as part of the Top 10 Regional Awardees from the Western Visayas Region in the prestigious 57^th search of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines. They have qualified in the next round and will have the chance to be chosen to be among the top Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines.

Española is a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy graduate and a former CPU Republic President; Loretizo, on the other hand, is a graduate of Software Engineering, a Jose Rizal Model Student, and winner of National Geographic’s “Everyday Genius” while Rey is a graduate of Chemical Engineering, an Ayala Young Leader, and a former CPU Prime Minister.

Twenty students, who excel in leadership and community service, from all over Western Visayas were selected by TOSP to participate in a leadership camp. Among the finalists, ten were chosen to represent Western Visayas in the TOSP National Level.

It can be recalled that Riego Garcia Ferrer, an Agricultural Engineering graduate and former CPU Prime Minister, was named as one of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines at the Heroes Hall of Malcañang Palace, Manila on February 9, 2017.
