Carolinian Lawyer Named Outstanding Councilor of the Philippines

Atty. Lynette Geonzon (USC Law, 1999) became the first and only lady councilor to be named Outstanding Councilor of the Philippines in a nationwide search sponsored by Philippine Councilors’ League (PCL) and Jaycees International.

The awarding ceremony was held on March 9, 2007 on the occasion of PCL’s National Convention held at Cebu International Convention Center (CICC).

A number of councilors from all over the country participated but Ms. Geonzon was specifically cited for her innovative and significant legislations in Minglanilla, Cebu where she is now completing her second term as Municipal Councilor.

Ms. Geonzon is the only awardee from Region 7 and the only female among the ten award recipients. She and the other winning councilors got a trophy and P100,000.00 each from Special Allotment Release Order from Sen. Edgardo Angara, who was guest of honor during the PCL National Convention.
