Benilde Prize Roadshow / Lorma Colleges / San Juan, La Union / May 8–9

Ilocanos are known to be resilient. Do they make the cut?

There’s something about the authenticity of local culture, married to actionable solutions that makes impact. Seems legit? It is.

Will their innovative idea stand against the best of the field in Benilde Prize 3.0? Hold on to your posts guys!
