Further, this prestigious Presidential Award is a newly adopted initiative by the SwPUC Education Department. It is specifically crafted to motivate Adventist HEIs within SwPUC to strive for academic excellence in the licensure examinations administered by the Philippine Regulatory Commission. Adventist Education also puts a premium on the pursuit of a well-rounded life, critical thinking, and a dedication to service. Recipients of these awards, both the institution and the examinee-awardee, were acknowledged with monetary tokens and plaques of recognition as part of this prestigious accolade.
