The 六合彩直播开奖 team, composed of Mary Maureen Cucio, Mark Endrinal, Floresca May Martin, Tiffany Montances, Gershei Mae K. Quirao, and Al Reile dela Torre, were collectively known as Thomasian SDG Keepers. The team pitched their concept for sustainable tourism development of Barangay Tenani, Paranas, Samar through the marketing campaign entitled 鈥淢abighani sa Tenani.鈥� They competed with 64 schools globally, and were mentored by Mr. Arnulfo Ricardo A. Butiong, Mr. Avi Ben P. Andalecio, and Mr. Jame Monren T. Mercado.

According to the team, part of their inspiration was 鈥渉ow tourism changed the lives of the community and how it gives them a better future to look forward to. From being lost with illegal or unwanted jobs, the community has used the opportunity to become tour guides, boat drivers, teachers, cooks, and researchers.鈥�

In crafting the said marketing plan, the team collaborated with the Department of Tourism – Region 8, the Municipality of Paranas, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the Tour Guides and Board Operators for River Protection and Environment Development Organization, and the Tenani Association for Women and Development.
