Santos was not able to attend the awarding ceremony.
Estrallado said she was “very, very shocked” at winning the award. She was accompanied by her father and her sister at the award ceremony.
Jocson said she was really surprised because her entry was an art project required from them and she never expected anything.
For Jocson, art is a hobby.
The three winners in the 11 years old and under category are Angelica Narvaez, 11, from GTC Elementary School, whose artwork garnered 26 points; Seung Yeon Han of Saipan Community School, who got 24 points; and Michelle Palacios, a 5th grade student from SDA School.
Narvaez received a medal, two cases of milk, $25 Lollipops certificate, a PIC waterpark for two, $30 Docomo call cards, Scoops coupons, IT&E chair, and assorted toys. Narvaez, who won third place in a previous contest, said art is her favorite subject and she loves drawing designs of clothes.
Narvaez was accompanied by GTC Elementary School principal Charlotte Camacho who said they were very excited that one of their very own students won the contest.
“It’s all about wellness. With [the Public School System], it’s all about producing well-rounded individuals and of course, in order for them to learn, they have to be well,” Camacho said.
