BANGUED, Abra – Gian Lee Carlo Quiban, a Senior Boy Scout of the Philippines (BSP) of the Divine Word College of Bangued was awarded as one of the Ten Outstanding Boy Scouts (TOBS) in the country for this year 2011.
Vice President Jejomar C. Binay, national president of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, handed the awards to the 10 national winners of TOBS 2011 in Makati City last October 1.
Quiban, a consistent honor student since grade 1 and editor-in-chief of their school organ, the CORAZONIAN, topped this year’s search for TOBS because of his involvements in various concerns such as environmental protection and his voluntary participation in all the community affairs and services that the BSP – Abra Chapter is engaged in.
In an interview with Wilfredo Gascon, the Executive Officer of BSP-Abra Chapter, Quiban is the sixth national winner from Abra in the annual search for TOBS in the country.
Scouting is a very potent training ground for future leaders in the country because they are exposed to various issues and concerns and are given all the opportunities to excel and render their services to their fellow countrymen, he said.
The involvement of the boy scouts in the various issues and concerns in their respective communities is an opportunity for them to develop their positive attitudes and behaviors and become responsible citizens in the future and makes them realize the value of service to God and humanity, as well as allows them to imbibe the value of self discipline for their own personal development.

Cardenas and Vice-Mayor Garde Cardenas of Sallapadan; Randy Padres of the Department of Education – Abra Division; and Teresa V. Dacanay, principal of the Divine Word College of Bangued, High School Department.
