In this regard, we have decided to sectoralize the famous book “12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country”.

He is currently finishing the book versions for public servants and parents.

The Theme of the video contest is “Every Filipino is a hero. Every Filipino is part of the solution.” The videos to be submitted must still refer to any of the following 3 sectors – public servants, youth, and global
or overseas Filipinos.
