The House of Representatives honored on Wednesday, Nov. 22 the 10 Outstanding Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP), which it had dubbed "outstanding role models" in recently-adopted resolution.

Visiting the Batasan Complex in Quezon City were outstanding boy scouts Hannah Angela Arribas (Cebu), Queen Marjorie Arroyo (Batangas), Alester Galieto Jude Capacio (Zamboanga Sibugay), Johann Sebastian Capanas (Cebu), Ethann Michael Aguirre (Quezon City), JP Nelson Sumando (Surigao del Norte), Samantha Lorraine Jauco (Tarlac), John Jazper Luna (Manila), Jedryc Romero (Laguna), and Jason Paul Mendez (Negros Occidental).

Hailed for their "exemplary demonstration of authentic qualities of leadership and good moral character", they were given a copy of House Resolution (HR) No.1469.

It way principally authored by no less than Speaker Martin Romualdez, the fourth highest-ranking official of the land.

“In this resolution, we recognize 10 Boy Scouts who have shown tremendous qualities that help shape their communities for the better. They are role models that people can imitate or emulate, and they do our country a great service by being good leaders,” Romualdez said, who posed for pictures with the awardees.

According to the resolution, the BSP has been “instrumental in shaping the character and leadership skills of young individuals across the nation".

The BSP was established "to inculcate in our youth the values of patriotism and nationalism, and encourage their involvement in public and civic affairs".

“In 1989, the [BSP] established the search for the [10] Outstanding Boy Scouts to recognize scouts who have shown exemplary and best epitomize good moral character and demonstrated authentic qualities of leadership in the institution and community,” it read.

“The [10] Outstanding Boy Scouts of the Philippines for 2023 have proven themselves as outstanding role models, embodying the ideals of scouting and contributing significantly to the development of their respective communities and our country as a whole,” the resolution stated.

“Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives, to extend its warmest congratulations to the [10] Outstanding Boy Scouts of the Philippines for 2023 for their exemplary achievements in embodying the principles of scouting," the resolution further read.

Majority Leader Manuel Jose “Mannix" Dalipe, Minority Leader Marcelino Libanan, Senior Deputy Majority Leader Ferdinand Alexander Marcos and Tingog Party-list Rep. Yedda Romualdez were among the co-authors of HR No.1469.
