A Muntinlupa public elementary school teacher was named one of the winners of the 2025 Ten Outstanding Guro Awards (TOGA) organized by the Junior Chamber International (JCI) Manila.
Kristine Joan Barredo, a Master Teacher II at Tunasan Elementary School in Barangay Tunasan, Muntinlupa, received the award at a ceremony held on June 21.
