TWO professors of the Silliman University made it to the list of Most Inspiring Teachers of the Philippines in 2021 by a non-government youth organization.

Dr. Rogen Ferdinand Alcantara and Dr. Gina Fontejon Bonior were among the 30 inspiring teachers chosen by The Salceda Youth Lead.

“Alcantara and Bonior will be awarded in a Formation Training and Formal Awarding Ceremony on July 20-22, 2021 in Dumaguete City, where SYL is based,” SU said.

Manolito Gatchalian, a Junior High School teacher of the school, received the same award last October 2020.

Since 2013, SYL has awarded more than 125 teachers as MITs.

SYL is a non-governmental youth organization that provides opportunities in leadership development, community service, and exchange, with the aim of empowering students and professionals in the ASEAN region to become effective citizens.

Through its international partners and link, SYL assists MITs to participate in conferences in Asia, co-lead SYL’s programs in the ASEAN, and spearhead projects for teachers, the youth, and local government units in the Philippines.
