Two alumni of Tagumpay National High School’s Girl Scouts, Porsche Miel Testa and Samanta Jade Palmes, were conferred the Chief Girl Scout Medal during the awarding ceremony held at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City on November 27.

The Chief Girl Scout Medal Scheme (CGSMS) is the highest recognition granted to Girl Scouts who have completed a year-long community service project and have at least three years of active scouting experience.

"It was not easy, but I pushed through because I truly wanted to make a difference, even in small ways," Testa said.

Testa shared that after a year of serving the youth, her biggest challenge was balancing the Scheme and school at the same time.

Palmes likewise reflected on her experience, noting that the process helped her gain confidence and a deeper understanding of service.

“Completing this project taught me that real change takes patience, courage, and heart, and that is exactly what being a Girl Scout is all about,” she stated.

Both awardees credited the guidance of their troop leader, Ma’am Arlyn B. Boton, who supported them throughout their CGSMS journey.

Pangilinan stated that in getting this award she faced financial problems as her project cost a lot of money but with the help of her parents and troop leader ma'am Krista Jule U. Banton.

"I kept motivated because of course, I can't back out now since I have come this far and the progress will be lost if I have not continued" Pangilinan added.

Poso also shared that during the conduct of her project, she experienced sleepless nights working and soliciting money to teach and feed over 30 kids together with her troop leader ma'am Donaliza L. Navarro and her member, Althea Del Pilar.

"Seeing the smiles of kids every time they see me in their community and every time i conduct my program really helped me to keep going that is why this medal or this award is not just mine, it belongs to all of the people who helped me, trusted me, and believed in me." she stated.

Despite the challenges encountered, both Poso and Pangilinan secured their spot as chief medalists of the Central Luzon region in Rizal council.

The moment she saw her name on the list, it felt like standing beneath the sky. For her, it was as if the moon had finally landed on her hand—sudden, glowing and wonderfully unreal. In that instant, all the late nights, moments of doubt and whispered prayers were finally worth it.

The thought that her position might soon be phased out became her motivation to dream bigger and prepare for the next step. Mrs. Rowena P. Bautista, Head Teacher II, set her sights on the National Assessment for School Heads (NASH), a milestone that opened new doors for her to lead, inspire and leave a lasting mark in education.

Reaching that goal was far from simple. Each day demanded patience, determination and courage.

“Balancing work, family and review sessions was never easy. There were sleepless nights and moments of doubt, but my faith in God and my desire to grow kept me going,” she said. Each small success reinforced her resolve. Step by step, she advanced closer to achieving her goal.

“Passing the NASH exam felt like reaching for the moon—a dream once out of reach that became possible through hard work and faith,” she expressed. The accomplishment shone brightly, a reward for the perseverance that had carried her through.

It revealed a truth she had always held—no dream is too high when you believe, stay determined, and keep your passion burning. It stands as proof that faith and hard work can turn the impossible into reality. And she knew this milestone was just the beginning of an even more promising journey ahead.
