The recognition followed the unanimous adoption of House Resolution No. 1001, which officially honors the group’s trailblazing international milestones. House Speaker Faustino “Bojie” Dy III led the presentation, joined by House Majority Leader and Ilocos Norte 1st District Representative Sandro Marcos, and Negros Occidental 3rd District Representative Javi Benitez.
