Baptista Battig in the Philippines.
Award categories
There shall be two categories of awards: The St. Scholastica’s Music Alumnae Association Outstanding Centennial Award and the Sister Baptista Battig Centennial Award. A graduate of any degree in music offered by St. Scholastica’s College, Manila or an alumna (who has been a premiere recitalist), male or female, qualifies. In addition, awardees have to meet a set of criteria drawn up by the Awards Committee and approved by the Board of the SSMAA.
