NCPAG wins Natatanging Belen Competition

The National College of Public Administration and Governance’s entry was judged as the first prize winner in this year’s Belen Making Contest. The result of the competition was announced on December 16, 2011 during the traditional lantern parade program.

NCPAG’s entry entitled Sabsaban sa Diliman appropriated two types of construction materials, which symbolize ideas and values that the college upholds and promotes. Wood was used as a symbol for strong foundation that good governance provides to the nation. Chicken wires on the other hand evoke the spirit of transparency that is necessary to fight corruption and other forms of bad governance.

The construction of the winning entry was spearheaded by the NCPAG Student Council. They received funding support from the NCPAG Alumni Association. This is the first time in many years that the NCPAG has won in this annual competition held in UP Diliman during holiday season. The NCPAG belen can be found at the lobby and will be there until January 2012.
