BONTOC, Mountain Province. The Schools Division Office of Mountain Province (MPSDO) recognized the districts that stood out in the search for the best booths during its first commemoration of the founding anniversary and Indigenous Peoples (IP) Celebration held on August 18, 2026 at the MPSDO grounds.
Initiated by SDS Benilda M. Daytaca, the booth search highlighted the districtsโ efforts to preserve and present the history, cultural heritage, indigenous traditions, and local resources of their respective communities.
Based on the results released through Division Memorandum No. 264, s. 2026 dated August 20, 2026, Sadanga District received the Gawad Pananaliksik at Pamana, while Besao earned the Gawad Likha-Lokal. Sagada was recognized with the Gawad Pamanang Lokal, and Bontoc received the Gawad Kultura at Kabuhayan.
Other recognized districts were Tadian 1 for Gawad Guro-Likha, Paracelis North for Gawad Kasuotang Pamana, Barlig for Gawad Aral-Kultura, Bauko 1 for Gawad Ani ng Pamayanan, Bauko 2 for Gawad Sarisaring Yaman, Tadian 2 for Gawad Kontextuwalisadong Pagkatuto, Natonin for Gawad Yamang Kultura at Pamana, and Sabangan for Gawad Yamang Kultura.
The booths were judged using three major criteria: historical authenticity, creativity and presentation, and educational value, for a total of 100 points.
Historical authenticity carried the highest weight at 50 points. The criterion focused on the authenticity and historical context of the documents and materials displayed in the booth. The organizers particularly looked at whether the materials genuinely represented the history of the schools or districts and whether the documents were supported by historical context.
Creativity and presentation accounted for 25 points. Judges assessed the overall design and creativity of the booth, including its visual attractiveness and organization, the uniqueness of presentation methods, and the creative use of space and materials.
Another 25 points were allotted for educational value. Booths were expected to provide informative and meaningful content that could educate visitors about local history and culture. The criterion considered the quality and depth of historical documents, clarity of explanations through captions, and the boothโs ability to foster appreciation and understanding of history.
The competition encouraged districts to showcase photo collages or standees featuring historical documents of their schools and districts, old learning resources used in the past, and indigenous-local products, preferably those that were winning outputs of Project RISE. The contest placed emphasis not only on presentation but also on the effort involved in researching and collecting materials, organizing them, and presenting indigenous art and cultural resources with educational value.
Certificates of Recognition and cash incentives will be awarded to the winners during a Monday flag-raising ceremony on a date to be announced by the Schools Division Office.
