Local achievers award nomination ends February 19

THE 2018 Local Achievers Award will continue to accept nominations until Monday, February 19.

Zamboanga City Mayor Ma. Isabelle Climaco-Salazar said the nomination period has been extended to encourage the participation and recognition of exceptional Zamboangueños in different fields and expertise.

Salazar said the 2018 Local Achievers Award is one of the activities of the 81st Charter Day anniversary on February 26.

The Local Achievers Award is a recognition conferred to Zamboangueños who have been exceptional in their endeavors, have notable contributions in their fields, and have brought honor to Zamboanga City.

There are numerous award categories that span sports, culture and arts, public service, City Government service, community service, investment promotion, tourism-oriented establishment, academe for individuals and institutions, and the Orgullo de Zamboanga Premiar, an honor bestowed on a single individual in recognition of their significant and meritorious contributions to the city.

Additionally, two award categories – the top local corporate taxpayer and the top local individual taxpayer are bestowed to a corporation and an individual for paying the highest tax locally, respectively, and are based on the business taxes paid to the office of the City Treasurer.

Salazar said the winners will be recognized during the Dia de Zamboanga Commemorative Program at 8 a.m. on February 26 at the City Hall grounds immediately after the grand civic military parade. (Bong Garcia/SunStar Philippines)
