During the event, special awards were also given to Mary Jane Olavario, Maria Javier, Estrella Lontoc, Rosalie Palada, Merlie Mago, Irene Marquez, Mario Rodriguez, Belinda Dela Cruz, Fernando Enano, and Rosemarie Robediso for Complete Attendance Award. Service Award recipients were Rosalie Palada, Estrella Lontoc, Mary Jane Olavario, Marie Javier and Merly Mago.
