The Galing Foundation, Inc. awards were received with surprise and elation. I had an opportunity during my speech to ensure that parents, students and teachers understood what the foundation is, and why they are such a help to the school. I told them it is a genuine blessing that the foundation has taken an interest in them and their school and it brought a loud applause from the community that had assembled for the event. This year, the school graduated a total of 25 students which was their largest graduation class ever.”
"For GFI, thanks again for helping to make the school's graduation a success and memorable day." - Datu Wali Mission
