Young people across the country are proving that they have the power to create real change. The 21st TAYO (Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations) Awards, held on August 19 at the Metropolitan Theater in Manila, honored ten youth groups for their impactful work in various areas.
The TAYO Awards Foundation recognized these groups for their contributions in culture, arts, and heritage; education and technology; environment, disaster risk reduction, and climate change adaptation; health, well-being, and human development; livelihood and entrepreneurship.
Under the theme “Makabayani,” a blend of the words makabayan (love for one’s country) and bayani (hero), this year’s awards shine a spotlight on the extraordinary contributions of young leaders and their positive contributions to nation building.
