TOSP Region VII is an annual
search, which recognizes
the best and the brightest students
in the provinces of Region
VII, who have excelled in
academics, leadership and social
responsibility. In addition,
this program aims at establishing
role models, who will galvanize
our young people into
action and help bring about total
human and economic development
in the nation. The Ten
Outstanding Students of the
Philippines program dates back
to 1961, when businessman
Jose Concepcion, Jr., then publisher
of Student Life Magazine,
envisioned an annual recognition
of outstanding students.
This vision was actualized
on June 19, 1961, when TOSP
was launched aptly on the
100th birthday of Dr. Jose
Rizal. This year’s Search is a
commitment of RFM Foundation,
The Outstanding Students
of the Philippines - Alumni
Community (TOSPAC), and
the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED), in partnership
with the Provincial Government
of Negros Oriental.
