Bundoc and Dr. Manuel Belino
The winners were chosen for their
outstanding contributions to the
teaching profession, personal
integrity and character,
instructional competence, and
professional and community
involvement. More than these,
however, the Awardees are ordinary
people and teachers who choose to
remain in the teaching profession
despite extraordinary circumstances.
They are achievers who measure
success not necessarily by their
professional achievements and
financial rewards but by the
triumphs of their students.
The awarding ceremonies were held
last September 2, 2005 at the
Metrobank Plaza Auditorium, which
serves as highlight of Metrobank's
43rd anniversary celebrations. Each
outstanding teacher will receive a
gold medallion, trophy and a cash
prize of P200,000.00.
The names of the awardees were
released after the Final Board of
Judges for the Search chaired by
Senate Majority Leader Francis N.
Pangilinan with Supreme Court
Associate Justice Angelina
Sandoval-Gutierrez as Vice-Chair,
held a series of interviews of the
finalists last July 2005.
The other members of the Final Board
of Judges were Congressman Rolando
G. Andaya, Jr. of the First District
of Camarines Sur; Mayor Jerry P.
Treñas of Iloilo City; Ambassador
Peter Beckingham of the Embassy of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland; Dr. Jose Maria
A. Mariano, President of the
University of Asia and the Pacific;
Mr. Jarius Y. Bondoc, Columnist and
Broadcaster; and Dr. Milwida M.
