LEYECO III the first Coop to have School Medal Program for the Youth
Tunga, Leyte- Youth are often awarded for their scholastic achievements but LEYECO III believes that they should also be praised and awarded when they demonstrate strong qualities of character and leadership. That’s why since 2015, LEYECO III has recognized such students with its School Award of Leadership Program wherein deserving students receive a Plaque and a Medal of Leadership Excellence.
Leyte III Electric Cooperative Incorporated is the first cooperative who created the School Award Program for the purpose of instilling character and helping our educators in creating and honing our future leaders. “We have to shape as early as now the youth to become leaders so that the future for them will be different from what we have right now. And appreciating their good qualities aside from the academic achievements is one way of encouraging the youth to possess such attribute”. General Manager Allan Laniba of Leyeco III uttered.
