Organizations Overseas, emphasizing their contributions to the global community.
The Presidential Awards recognize exemplary overseas Filipinos and foreign partners who have fostered relationships benefiting Filipino communities abroad. “Our Lingkod sa Kapwa Pilipino, Pamana ng Pilipino, at Banaag awardees have ventured to foreign lands far away, faced challenges head-on, and triumphantly managed to excel in every endeavor that they have undertaken,” he said.
The Kaanib ng Bayan awardees—foreign nationals and organizations—were also lauded for their compassion and support for Filipino communities. President Marcos acknowledged the globalized nature of modern labor, noting that millions cross borders annually for work. “Our dream is to, one day, make overseas work a choice rather than a necessity,” he said.
