StudentsAchieving the highest honor as part of the youth’s most outstanding solid group, one of the delegates of Catanduanes State University (CatSU), Donna Mae N. Ramirez, was awarded of the much-coveted Magnus Medal and Magnus Testimonial during the 10th Philippines I Transform! Young Leaders' Convention (PITYLC).
For 22-year-old interim editor-in-chief of CatSU Statesman, the award that the members of her team received represents their commitment and dedication to notch a remarkable feat.
“The honor belongs not only to me but also to my extraordinary team, the SG 11, who has labored and bridged the gap considering that we are from different regions in the Philippines to achieve excellence,” Ramirez wrote in her Facebook post on August 21.
“I am now excited to share the learnings with my community and to the University as it will reflect the experiences I acquired,” she added while looking forward to steering an echo-training of the five-day event at the university.
The Magnus Medal award was bestowed to an individual or group of participants who exemplifies remarkable performance throughout the conduct of the 10th PITYLC.
Bearing the theme “A Decade of Action, Championing Sustainable Communities," other CatSU delegates who took part in the event were University Student Council President Francine Mae Tayo, together with her Vice President, Richard Abenir, and Christian Sta. Ines.
Joining also different academic contests in the leadership training, Ramirez participated in English essay writing, while Abenir joined the advocacy photo contest and Sta. Ines took part in poster making.
Apart from showcasing young leaders’ talents, the annual convention provides an opportunity for them to harness their leadership capabilities and become transformational leaders who are capable of making lasting impacts on the community.
“We are the leaders of today, and we have the power to be the leaders of tomorrow,” the Magnus Medal awardee concluded.
