Datu Odin Sinsuat, MAGUINDANAO- At least forty-one (41)
participants from various towns of Maguindanao competed, 30 July 2016 in the
first ever NDCM Poster Making Contest 2016 held at Hotel Almasser, Brgy. Awang,
this town.
In pursuit to promote the advocacy of “disaster
resilience” among the young ones at the very young age, the contest was opened
to children ranging from 10-15 years old.
The participant’s materials depicted the theme of the
National Disaster Consciousness Month for the Calendar Year 2016,
"Kahandaan at Pagtugon sa Sakuna, Tungkulin ng Bawat Isa".
Following the competition’s criteria for judging,
Relevance to the theme-40%, Originality-30%, and Impact (Neatness,
Presentation, Color Harmony)- 30%, a twelve year old pupil from Parang,
Maguindanao, Hannah Clarissa V. Ontolan was hailed as Champion after winning
first place. The second place was won by John Kenneth D. Baduel, and third
placer Merrah P. Atacador.
Ontolan received a cash prize of Php 5,000.00, Baduel
with Php 3,000.00, and Atacador with Php 2,000.00. All three received their
respective certificates of recognition.
Meanwhile, the remaining contestants have also received a
consolation prize of Php 500.00 and certificate of participation.
Myrna J. Angot, Officer-in-Charge of OCD-ARMM, said this
advocacy section’s initiative activity is timely and relevant in strengthening
the knowledge and awareness of the children when it comes to Disaster Risk
Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA).
“This is significant for we are in fact learning from
these children. They taught us to become more sensitive on our strategies and
approaches so we can better instill in their very minds the importance of DRR
and CCA,” said Angot.
The judging panel were composed of Myrna Jocelyn Henry of
the ARMM HEART, Jennifer V. Daco of the Cotabato City National High School
Annex (LR Sebastian Site), and Michelle M. Uy of the Cotabato City National
High School- Rojas Site. (GILMHAR A.
