The Ultimate Global Pinoy is…
And the Ultimate Global Pinoy is…
They are called the modern day heroes. Who are they? Our OFW or Overseas Filipino Workers who can be found all over the world.
They are those nurses you see behind med carts, the smiling concierge, the people who keep your hotel rooms clean, the moms who look after other people’s children, the teachers in classrooms all over the world, the engineers and construction workers who build skyscrapers and the staff who take care of the elderly people.
Aptly called as the modern day hero, these 11 million overseas Filipino workers have earned the trust and admiration of employers all over the world.
The Commission of Filipinos Overseas, Duty Free Philippines, and Kraft Asia pay tribute to the Global Pinoys who showed excellence not only in their careers, but also in the initiatives to help their fellowmen in the country, through the Thank You Global Pinoy Awards. The Thank You Global Pinoy Awards is an initiative to search for the most outstanding global Filipino workers who deserve the gratitude not only of their loved ones; but also of the nation as a whole. It was primarily led by the Commission of Filipinos Overseas, the government agency tasked to promote and uphold the interests of Filipino emigrants and permanent residents abroad.
The online nominations ran from October 2011 to February 2012, and 10 outstanding overseas Filipino workers have been chosen and will be announced during the Awards Night on March 15, 2012.
“In its tradition of being the thank you and pasalubong chocolate from overseas Filipinos, Toblerone has initiated this project in order to give back, and give each and every Global Pinoy what they truly deserve—a sweet thank you,” shares Jaya Singh, Region Director, Middle East and Asia Pacific, Kraft Foods World Travel Retail.
