Masbate National Comprehensive High School (MNCHS) recognized a total of 1,410 academic excellence awardees from Grades 7, 8, 9, and 11 during its 98th Recognition Rites, held on March 27, 2026, at the school's covered court, with the theme "Filipino Graduates: Prepared to Lead with Competence and Character."
According to the Grade Level Coordinators, 185 honor students were from Grade 7, 315 from Grade 8, 312 from Grade 9, and 598 from Grade 11.
"The two important words about today's theme are competence and character. Competence means being prepared, it is built through discipline, continuous learning, and perseverance,'' said Catherine S. Gulle, Commanding Officer of the 3rd Signal Battalion and guest speaker.
"Character is what defines you when no one is watching, it is choosing what is right over easy, humility over pride, and service over self interest." Gulle added.
Moreover, Helen A. Verano, Public Schools District 3 Supervisor, expressed gratitude to parents for their unwavering support.
โThis recognition is not only a celebration of academic success, but also a tribute to the values, discipline, and integrity that each awardee has consistently demonstrated,โ she emphasized.
The rite was divided into two programs: Grades 7 and 9 in the morning, followed by Grades 8 and 11 in the afternoon.
