In recognition of their exceptional dedication and academic excellence, Charles Philip Yap, the lone Summa Cum Laude and a scholar of the Local Government Unit-Guihulngan, along with the other 61 Latin awardees of the 2025 graduating class from NORSU-G, received cash incentives from the City Mayor Hon.

Along with Yap, each of the 50 magna cm laude graduates received โฑ3,000 cash, while 11 cm laude honorees received โฑ2,000 cash right after their commencement exercises, held at the campus gymnasium.
โWhen I received the โฑ10,000 cash incentive for being the Summa Cum Laude, I felt overwhelmed with joy and deep gratitude,โ Yap said in an interview. โIt wasn't just about the money; it was a recognition of all the sacrifices, sleepless nights, and hard work I poured into my journey,โ he affirmed.
Yap added that the incentive will be a significant help as he prepares for his review for the upcoming Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). โThis blessing is truly a big help as I prepare for my LET review and upcoming board exam. It made me feel seen, supported, and motivated to keep striving for excellence,โ he said.
โTo Mayor Mikoy, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and continued support to students like me,โ Yap added.
The awarding of cash incentives to the graduating honor students capped off the 67th Commencement Exercises and served as an indication of the cityโs commitment to supporting academic excellence at NORSU-G.
