Awardees at the Angono "Gabi ng Parangal" last night August 19, 2013

Angono - ang UNO  August 20, 2013

 RJ David and wife receive the award for outstanding accomplishment in business - IT.  They founded Sulit which has national and international presence.  It beat eBay in the PHL.  Mr. RJ is a god son and is only 32 years old

A number of citizens and institutions were given awards last night by the municipality of Angono. The objective of course is to celebrate and motivate the citizens to do better.  From a mere PHP 38 million gross revenues, the income of Angono has risen to PHP 200 million, making Angono eligible to be a city. But it wont be because its land area is only l,700 hectares;  the minimum area to be a city is 2,000 hectares.

Some of the awardees:

Top taxpayers:   Manila Water, Sons and kindred (they are our neighbor at Fuentes Bldg) but I do not see any of their staff, RACE ventures.

Other awardees :   some of them were given awards by the province last June 11, 2013:     Dr. Sanvictores (former directress of Angono Private High School) Mr. Nemi Miranda for arts,  Prof Ligaya Rubin; Ms. Luzviminda Vocalan  - Balaw balaw restaurant.

 Ms. Iluminada Miranda,  Mr Ravanzos of Raises Academy,  Ms. Magpantay of St Martin Montessori;  RJ David for business;   Mr. Celestino Santiago -  education;  Patnubay Tiamson - literature. Saturnino Tiamson Jr. (music);  Mr. Tolentino  - sports (forward of SBC juniors), Mr. O. Panlillo  - music, (I did not get the name of the awardee for mind games) and Prof Jorge Saguinsin for business.

It is to be noted that the bulk of awardees are:   young, are either in education and arts.

ATO search for outstanding citizens for 75th independence day of the town

Angono - ang UNO

I understand that for the 75th anniversary of independence of Angono, there will be another batch of awardees as outstanding children of Angono.  This author was informed by ATO head Patnubay Tiamson  that he is one of the nominees and was asked to submit his biodata.

I understand he will be one of the awardees.
