President Rodrigo Roa Duterte will confer the Outstanding Government Workers Award to 27 individuals and three groups during the awards rites on 27 September 2018 in Malacañang.
Leading this year’s awardees are teachers determined to create an engaging, interactive, and supportive learning environment despite challenges of mobile education in far-flung communities. These educators brave steep and narrow mountain trails, neck-deep rivers, and the danger of being caught in the crossfire of armed groups; they also use their personal resources to bring education to remote areas in the country.
Scientists who are determined to address the crisis on the country’s rice industry through their inventions and research work on developing heat-tolerant, good eating quality, high yield, and early maturity rice varieties also made it to the list.
