The Search for the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines is
a rigorous selection process in the school, regional and national
levels. The student nominees are evaluated based on the following
criteria: superior academic performance; responsible leadership
and/or active participation in worthwhile extra-curricular
activities; a deep sense of community awareness and involvement;
personal values anchored on a living faith in God; sensitivity
towards the needs of others and a sincere determination to help;
firm moral conviction and integrity; a pleasing personality and
ability to express oneself.
The annual search for the Ten Outstanding Students of the
Philippines was founded to recognize students who can be held as
role models for others; students who exemplify academic
excellence, exemplary leadership, good moral values, and
determination to serve.
