“The Philippine Mission and the members of the Philippine delegation who attended the IPU Global Conference in Geneva are very proud of Ana for winning the competition,” sinabi ni Philippine Permanent Representative to the United Nations at sa iba pang international organization sa Geneva na si Cecilia Rebong.
“We take pride in her achievement and in how her essay reflected Filipino values such as the importance of having strong family ties, resiliency and maintenance of smooth interpersonal relationships which she cited as important elements for peace,” dagdag ni Rebong.
Dumalo rin sa awarding ceremony sina Senator Aquilino Martin “Koko” Pimentel III, Bulacan 3rd District Rep. Joselito Mendoza, at Philippine Minister and Consul General Enrico Fos.
Ang essay ni Dela Rosa ang nagwagi mula sa 72 pang lahok. Ang ikalawang IPU essay-writing contest ay idaraos sa Zambia sa Marso 2016. (Madel Sabater-Namit)
