Big congratulations to Anton Miguel Perucho of WVSU College of Nursing and Psyche Una Villaresto of WVSU Integrated Laboratory School for being recognized as two of the 2025 Outstanding Students of Iloilo!

 

They officially received their awards from JCI Regatta during the 16th The Outstanding Students of Iloilo Awards (TOSIA) held on May 24, 2025, at Robinsons Place Iloilo.

 

Both Anton and Psyche were announced as awardees last April 8, 2025, after going through a tough selection process—complete with bid screening, essay writing, and interviews. Their passion, perseverance, and heart for service made them stand out among many equally inspiring student leaders.

 

TOSIA, organized by JCI Regatta in partnership with DepEd Iloilo, Iloilo City, Passi City, and CHED Region VI, honors students for their academic excellence, leadership, and strong sense of social responsibility.

 

Awardees are grouped into Junior High and College categories, celebrating young changemakers across schools in Iloilo.

 

Anton thanked his parents, Mary Grace and Larry Perucho, as well as Dr. Charmaine Malata, Dean of the Office of Student Affairs, and the WVSU University Student Council 2021–2022.

 

Psyche also expressed gratitude to her parents, Desiree Joy and Senen Villaresto, and gave special thanks to her mentors—Ms. Gerlie Joy Pacete, Dr. Angelou Deloguines, and ILS Principal Prof. Mary June Delariman.

 

We are so proud of you, Anton and Psyche! Keep making WVSU proud and continue being a force for good in your communities.
