Three Most Outstanding International Students in the Philippines award.

The other two winners are an international student of Silliman University and a student from India from the University of Northern Philippines.

The awards were announced by the Philippine International Friendship and Understanding Association

A yearly competition first held in 1969, the search for the Three Most Outstanding International Students in the Philippines is conducted by PIFUA in cooperation with various government agencies, educational associations, and higher education institutions. It aims to focus community interest on the presence of foreign students in the Philippines, identify their leadership potentials and capabilities, encourage social consciousness, and motivate
them toward quality scholastic performance. The winners were chosen among several international students from different universities in the Philippines though a rigorous screening process that included interviews, written tests, extemporaneous speeches and a talent contest.
