What you need to do is write a thank you message to anyone you want. It could be in Filipino or English. Don't forget to follow the required format along with the other important details then send it through the Post Office or any accredited Postal Stations. If the recipient lives abroad, you may use the Airmail service, published rates applied.

Together with your teacher, fill up and sign the raffle stub then drop it at the designated drop boxes located at participating and accredited post offices and postal stations. One (1) student will take home P50,000 in the Grand Raffle. The teacher and the school will also receive the same prize amount as the student.
