Meanwhile, in the Active Citizenship and Governance Category, their Project ATBP (Aktibong Tugon sa Bagong Pamamahala) also made a spot. 

“Yung makapasok pa lang kami sa national finals ay isang karangalan na. Lalo pa noong three out of four na entries [namin] yung pumasok sa grand finals.

Villanueva also proudly said that among all the projects nationwide, SK San Mateo has the most number of entries that qualified in the grand finals. 

Aside from certificates, they will receive P15,000 cash from PYDN.
