“Congratulations po sa ating mga awardees! Sana po ay maging inspirasyon sa inyo ang inyong mga titulo pati na ang mga open space at pathways na ipinagkaloob ng NHA na gawing masaya ang inyong tahanan at komunidad. Inaasahan ko rin po na aalagaan niyo ang biyayang ito upang mapakinabangan pa ng inyong mga anak at apo (Congratulations to our awardees!
