Whou would have thought that discarded tahong shells could be used to produced hollow blocks? The group from University of the Philippines Visayas-Tacloban did. Graduating Bachelor of Science Management students Maria Katrina Alfante, Genelie Apuya and Mark Anthony Capinan bagged P500,000 as grand prize winners in this year's "Project Pagsulong" held over the weekend in Makati City. "Project Pagsulong" is a brainchild of PLDT KaAsenso, PLDT-Smart Foundation, The OutstandingStudents of the Philippines Alumni Community, and RFM Foundation.
