“I miss my father Josefino Bondad so much. This Aliw Award for Excellence, who would have thought? He would be super proud if he were here. Thanks, Rising Tigers Magazine, as it gives us more opportunities and distance that never in my life I imagined. I seldom accept awards, but this is wholeheartedly welcomed by my two warm arms. It’s the end of the year, but again, we’re just starting. To all our partners, rising tigers and nation builders, let’s build a legacy. Can’t wait for 2024!” gushed Engineer Nicolas.
