George O. Tanlimco Jr, a high school graduate of our College, was recently feted as one of the 6th Pambansang Gawad sa Ulirang Kabataan grand winners held at the Bayview Park Hotel in Manila last June 11, 2010.

This prestigious award, a project of the Department of Education, is similar to the search for the “Ten Outstanding Young Men and Women of the Philippines” award. Other winners in this model youth award include: Kim Robert De Leon of Navotas National High School; Jan Edol Jimenez from Pangasinan National High School; Bianca Nerriza Infantado from Jose Leido Memorial National High School in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro; and Carl Maliwat of Dole Philippines School in South Cotabato.

Before being selected, George was one of the Ten Outstanding Boy Scouts of the Philippines for 2009. He was a consistent honor student during his high school years and was the recipient of the Gerry Roxas Leadership Award during the High School Commencement Exercises held last March of 2010. George is currently a freshman taking up AB Liberal Arts at The De La Salle University, Manila.
