TARLAC CITY — Maliwalo High School landed first place for the second consecutive year in the Consumer Welfare Month Provincial On-the-Spot Poster Making contest of Department of Trade and Industry Tarlac.
Grade 10 student Jesus Angelo Yabut bested 21 other junior high school students and took home a certificate of recognition, trophy, and Php 3,000 worth of gift certificates.
“Ipinakita ko po dun sa poster na gawa ko na kahit hi-tech or nasa digital age na po tayo, nahi-highlight pa rin po yung karapatan ng bawat mamimili (I presented in my poster that even if we are now in the hi-tech or digital age we are still highlighting the rights of every consumer),” Yabut explained.
This year’s celebration carries the theme “Consumer Rights in the Digital Age.”
“As a trainer, I’m so proud of Angelo and one thing that I saw on him is patience and unique style as a young artist. We are so happy because we also won last year and for the second time, we are privileged to represent the province of Tarlac in the regional contest,” Coach Gerome Salcedo shared.
Lea Mae Fernando from Cristo Rey High School placed second and took home a certificate of recognition and Php 2,000 worth of gift certificates while Joyce Anne Nievo from Tarlac National High School – Main finished third and received a certificate of recognition plus Php 1,000 worth of gift certificates.
