Bayaning Filipino award

A Negrense teacher has received the Bayaning Filipino Award for molding both children and adults in a place in southern Negros Oriental once dubbed as “no man's land.”
Monica Sison, from Valencia , Negros Oriental, was among the recipients of the recent Gawad Geny Lopez Jr. Bayaning Pilipino awards in the teachers category.
She was cited for her passion in helping and teaching children in a rebel-infested Barangay Talalak, Sta. Catalina, where she was referred to by the people as their “Nanay,” the awarding body said.
