Since I was a kid, it has always been my desire to help. I have a dream to build my own orphanage. I have know idea how, but I know I will get there. Same with THE ONE, the goal to serving humanity is such a humble experience to many people who we do not know about. They are just around doing their thing to help without anything in return.
THE ONE Philippines Humanitarian Award (TOP), a subsidiary project of THE ONE International Humanitarian Award, recently launched its search for unsung heroes in the Philippines who are doing good for and within the community.

I was so honored to have met this man of good heart. I also met one of its first finalist, Cecilia Oebanda-Flores who was recognized for providing shelter for human trafficking victims in the Philippines.

The winner of the first TOP will receive Php 1,500,000.00 and a trophy. He or she will also automatically represent the Philippines in THE ONE International Awards and get a chance to win again.
Two runners-up will also be chosen and each will receive Php 500,000.00. The award money must be used to further the winners' humanitarian cause and service projects.
