Congratulations .... mabuhay ka!! Sana marami ka pa matungan at mas gamitin ang perang napanalunan sa tamang paraan... Inspirasyon namin ang tulad mo... -italya..
Proud of Efren for doing these type of stuff :D It's just awesome how there actually are people who give it their all when trying to help others. He is a true inspiration and we should all learn from what he's doing :) I salute you, Sir! You're making a difference for sure! :D
@Blavat666 Sorry I didn't see that interview on Lincecum. If he prefers not to be associatd with Filipinos, that's his right. Local & international news media dig up their background just to broadcast something to the world. A lot of part Filip celebs like Enrique Iglesias. I have his Cds but I didn't find out his mom's Filip until lately. Some top showbiz celebs are mixed. Masa love those with fair skin "kutis artista" sick.. All Belo's patients. Where's the true Filipina beauties now.
@jeansforjustice exactly! I for one do not understand why there is an OBSESSION to be fair among our people. There is a reason why we have the skin color we have.
@Blavat666 Back! I was at a coffee shop, laptop died. Guess I didn't miss anything.. your usual pathetic panty lines. oh really.. Lincecum denies saying he doesn't want to be associated with pipinos. Making up stories again blav?....hey do you know Bruno Mars of Just the way you are is also part Filipino..another one you can start bashing during your pastime hahah...
@Blavat666 Problem din ng India yang exporting. Scientist, engineers leave their countries parang Philippines. Kaya nga anak ng anka para maging OFWs after. yeah para katulong, nakakahiya! shoot i'm out of battery on my laptop.
@Blavat666 Actually ok lng manalo si Efren. Wla ng dapat itago sa kabulukan ng bansa. Out of 95 million, ilan ilan lgn ang may pagiisip. Walang ng pag-asa ang Pilipinas. It's too late to change it. Guess, we'll just have to enjoy whatever good news we get these days. With the Supreme Court na hawak ni Arroyo, positively, graft and corruption will never end. Education is all screwed up. High dropouts, low budget. Dpat siguro tumakbo ka na lng pagka presidente
@Blavat666 Of course, I understand. You're good at it ! You bait them for argument and I can just imagine you laughing like crazy there when they respond LOL.. but I like to provide information than hit you with curses and whip your ass until you're bloody lol...justkidding. .I love how you say bakit ikaw lng ang binigyan ng talino hahahah...
@Blavat666 Not much research on Efren since his profile is posted at the CNN world site. There are more info about him but we're allowed only 500 characters here lol...you got the short version. I, myself didn't realize he has done this since 1997. Yet our own govt do not recognize individuals like him until such int'l Heroes Awards calls for nominations.I'm happy someone entered his name bcause that award came with $100k. This year's award went to India. All 3rd world country lol..who else.
@Blavat666 BTw, they are like regular schools w/ enrollment period every May. Students committed to attend for one school year, require parents to sign their enrollment forms.His dream is to become Sec of DepEd. He wants to address values formation of teachers & transparency.In some PS, teachers charge students fees for cleaning materials production of exam papers when there are allotted budget for this.Interesting concept to educate children while govt solve squatters, dumpsites. if ever shit
@Blavat666 Volunteers have learned to value their education more, now that they’ve encountered children whose families cannot afford to send them to a formal school. They are motivated to learn and do well, so that they can impart what they’ve learned to the kids. Also, there are fewer gang-related incidents in those areas. Gang membership has decreased. Efren said when he was a gang member, he’d go out and walk into a gangfight, or see gang members congregate under the bleachers in school.
@Blavat666 Kariton Klasrum has 5 stations:2 classrooms on literacy skills,values formation.Clinic treats students w/minor cuts&scrapes, teaching basic hygiene.Play center filled w/books&educational toys. Food used to be primary motivation for the kids to attend classes. Now they’re more excited to read books.Two donated laptops used @play center. Eductl games teach them typing,internet research, and extension of literacy program. He uses Montessori methods. Alumni nurses incharge of First Aid.
@Blavat666 Boy..you laugh like evil Santa Claus lol.. Info about Efren. He started the org in 1997 w/10,000 member. Some remained active with the organization and are now volunteer teachers served four sites: the marketplace, dumpsite, Himlayang Caviteño [a local cemetery], and Badjao community. Market&Himlayan 60 students/session, dumpsite 80 students/session, Badjao 90 students/session. Five groups of students to teach: unschooled, kindergarten, Gr 1-3, 4-6, and teens [who wants to volunteer]
@Blavat666 I'm not sure how his system works. It will make more sense if all volunteers andhimself goes to their assigned location on a regular basis to educate the children properly. Check his website. He has a nonprofit organization, Dynamic Teen Company. dynamicteencompany(dot)org Perhaps someone can update him about his system. It made a big impact since he won CNN award since other countries expressed interest in replicating his mobile classroom system.
The pushcart model has been replicated more than 50 times by different organizations and institutions across the Philippines. The duplication of the pushcart school system is happening now in different provinces and regions of the country. Other countries want to replicate them. Filipinos have become more aware of the need for these children to be educated, fed and taken care of. Before, they saw [a pushcart] as a symbol of poverty, but now they see a pushcart as a symbol of hope and education.
@Blavat666 LOL...You know the answer to that! Phils is a third world country. No regular teachers for 8000 street kids in Manila. Efren was doing this only on weekends with other volunteers. I don' t know how many volunteers but they do not teach advanced education. He said that the government heads received an instruction from the president to have the pushcart schools replicated all over the country. More classrooms are pending as Aquino's reviews to expand the mobile classrm system.
@Blavat666 Few street educators like Efren can effectively meet the needs of these children. He's an ex-street kid survivor himself and showed high levels of resourcefulness and resilience. He uses strong peer support system. You know, helping each other survive. Experienced street children teaching new comers how to survive. I remembered him saying how he uses food to bring them together but teach them. If only this govt will put them to schools, it will alleviate some of their problems.
@Blavat666 Big difference Blavat! Illac Diaz comes from a good clan, a businessman, a model, Harvard graduate who founded several organizations benefiting the poor. He made it to the CNN Hot list of global entrepreneurs. While Efren Penaflorida is just an ordinary everyday person recognized by CNN for his own way of changing the world. Coming from a poor family, not good looking, he shared his kariton concept of educating street kids. He deserved to win.Btw,I voted for him too lol.so watch it!
@Blavat666 You just hit the real reason why the Catholic Church is saying not to pass the RH Bill. Keep Increasing the population. They are assets to Philippines and not liabilities. They made Efren a winner! They're good only for voting online, buying concert tickets, albums of their favorite singers! Kahit gutom basta maging popular lang sa buong mundo. And of course, para maraming bata na ma-molest ang mga paring yan. Kawawang bansa.
It is time for EACH of US to CARE more, to SHINE, and to carry the light of HOPE everywhere! No one individual or group, not even our government alone, can do it all! This is the time that we need each other most, to work-together, joining our hands TOGETHER in MAKING A DIFFERENCE... Congrats Efren!
I know I was too late to congratulate you MR EFREN PENAFLORIDA but a Hero like you, always deserves to be given a COMMENDATION........ you're such a REAL HERO to emulate! I am very much proud of you!!! I salute you for being the best educator in the world...... a molder of the youth to become a good citizen!!! Keep up the good work and GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.......

Efren Penaflorida will mark his one year as CNN Hero of the Year this month of November! Well, I'm quite happy that's the only Filipino who won this prestigious award last year. He started the pushcart education but we must imitate like him. A true hero is not just to fight for our country but to serve to the poor Filipino communities to uplift from the deepest levels of poverty. Thank you, Efren, for making number one hero in CNN!!!
TY very much Pinaswatcher for uploading these videos. I posted the links to the wall of AFFILIATE GROUPS - Club 8586 Inc. Facebook. TY again and God bless.
Filipinos will mark the world as a profound landscape of humanity! It's not too late for a good change! It started with Efren...let's do the rest...Mabuhay, Filipinos around the world! Reach high, PHILIPPINES! :-)

Imbis na matuwa, kinukutya pa. Kala nyo naman napakadali ng gingawa ni Efren, e baka pag pulot ng sarili basura hindi nyo magawa, baka kayo pa mismo nag kakalat.
Hirap sa Pinas kaya hindi umuunlad kase tayo tayo nag tatapakan, nag hihilahan pababa. Imbis matuwa para sa iba, ANG BITTER BITTER AT INSECURE!!!
Job well done Efren! Congratulations!Your story is really inspiring. You inspire me and I know a lot of people are inspired by you. Although it's really hard to keep your principles, I will keep the rest and build a new. - -Thanks Efren!
rebels, NPA, MNLF, MILF, Politicians are all in the same level, they're not helping to elevate the Philippines to 2nd world country status despite the fact that most of its people are educated and skilled.
Give back its people what's due. It's time to set aside all differences and work for better Philippines.
countries treasure and success rely on its people and person like Efren Penaflorida set a good example.
One person need no money, need not be a powerful politician, not member of powerful clan, but only need a motivation, sacrifice, purest heart of serving the street children and strong determination despite of all kind of insults along the way to be HERO.
His example is what our politicians need to be "SERVING THE PEOPLE"
may nagawa na ako para sa ibang tao, at it almost nothing compared to what efren's ORG did, u mntioned efren's group, so dba, dpt, sa ORG nla ni efren ibinigay ang award?and not to efren! at least ako my nagawa dba?at npakarami na! simply bcoz im part of a youth not only here in phil, but also in abroad! so nice dba? at the age of 15 may nagagawa na ako for others, e IKAW? anyway!i don't hv a prob! tnx for asking!
@446787eRG you are right and have the point.. but you yourself don't have a respect to other person and take note you are a pinoy also right? how come you despise your kababayan? ok I am not mad at you and this is my comment and opinion for those people who have the same attitude/behavior as yours "kaya hindi umuunlad ang pilipinas dahil sa inyo" well you can't be mad at me because you just said that we should respect someones opinion
hindi umuunlad ang Pilipinas dahil sa mga taong katulad ko?oh please! ur so funny, and excuse me, hindi umuunlad ang Pilipinas dahil marunong ang mga namumuno, and i am not the one who is managing the Philippines, and i dont despise him, i'm just being honest, whats wrong with it? f u r going compare him to the other heroes that was being declared here in Philippines, his dfntly nothing! -so nothing! and aside from that, the CNN must give the award to theyr organization and not to efren ALONE!
he is a real hero.u deserve the best efren for helping those hopeless children to share the education with them i hope a more efren will be in this world to help the poor and hopeless children in the street...

Kung magkatuluyan man sila ni Angel Locsin, let's just be happy for them. At para kay Efren sana true love yang nararamdaman mo ky Angel. To test yourself, madali lang yan, obserbahan mo ang sarili mo, mas madalas ka ba tumitingin sa future nya kesa sa mukha? at pag katabi mo si Angel, nagkakaroon ka ba ng boner? (tinitigasan!). Pag hindi, true love yan, pag oo, sadyang kalibugan lang yan at gusto u lang maka iscore. Gudluck tol!
All I can say is!! Efren if you in luv! Make sure its the right girl for you! That will help your dreams helping others ! NOT A "PLASTIC" PERSON with surrounding of PLASTIC PEOPLE IN THE STATION!! Don't ruin your dreams and Reputation by a "PLASTIC STAR" Be urself and face reality ok! Hope wala kapang hang-over for your achievement at CNN!!
congrats efren!you, charice and manny brought honor to our country..sana ito na ang wake up call ng mga politicians to be selfless and start putting the words PUBLIC SERVICE into action.mabuhay ka efren!

Putang ina mo ang laki ng pangarap mo hnd kana na hiya pinangarap mo pa c angel locsin hoy tignan mo mukha mo kung bagay kau o hnd ang popo mo... potahin mo nanay mo....
As a true Christian, Efren Peñaflorida was blessed by God and he let God used him to become a blessing to others. He do it selflessly with a loving and humble heart. What he did is simply to serve others like what Jesus did to all of us.
kailan kaya matutong mahihiya ang goberno natin?itoy isang malaking sampal sa ating bansa! ibi'g sabihin, ganon kahirap ang ating systema sa edukasyon, we're very emotional sa mga katotohanan na ipanalabas ni efren..sanay magkaisa tayo lahat...we need changes 4 d sake of our new generations, congratulations Efren Peñaflorida, don't wory, kahit ganon ka walang awa ang mga politiko sa atin, tayo nalang ang hahanap ng paraan, sanay namin kami sa kanilang pagpapahirap...hindi ka nag-iisa
Kawawa ka naman YGG, siguro di ka normal kasi di mo alam ang sinasabi mo...Dyos ko patawarin mo po si YGG di nya alam ang sinasabi nya..Mabuhay ka efren!...
What's wrong with you? Every words that's coming from your mouth will be judge someday by our God. Biblicaly, all words are from our heart and He will judge us accordingly and whatever kind of heart you have, if it is filthy or not. Obviously, yours is very filthy. Have fear!
just shut up!!!! grabe yung bunganga mo,di ka nga makatulong sa bansa!!!!!
mas muka kang bayag,kahit di pa kita nakikita!!!! siguro kasama ka sa maguindanao massacre!!!!
cheap naman ng hero mo si ampatuan,mamatay tao, parehas kayong abnormal!!!! our country needs the people like efren who help our country by doing that simple thing!!!! just help our country and all of the problems will be solved!!!! just shut up your big,big mouth
GET A LIFE, ASSHOLE!!! You seem very crude. unrefined, uneducated and in desperate need for attention. Please do the world a huge favor and hang yourself. Your death will be much appreciated.
yggdrazilvery.... It's unfortunate that you exist in this world. Note everyone, this youtuber has been blocked. No need to respond to his/her comment.

hay d ko alam kung dapat nga ba tayo maging proud d2. naalala ko yung mga kaibigan ko sa spain at belgium, hiyang hiya daw sila pag sinabi ng mga puti na ganon na ba talaga kahirap sa pinas kc sa kariton na lang pwede mag aral yung mga less fortunate na mga kabataan. sige na nga, proud na rin ako sa kanya tutal mabait naman sya eh tsaka d naman ako pumupunta sa ibang bansa.
don't deny na ganun kahirap ang pinas..kaya nga kayo nasa ibang bansa para takasan ang hirap sa pinas di ba? ano dapat mong ikahiya sa ginagawa ni efren? mas dapat kayong mahiya..yang kaibigan mong nasa denial at ikaw na walang utak!
My story will bring hope to hopeless everyone deserves a second chance! in the next 3 years wheres the focus? ..... cnn hero truethat! anouther truehope success story! startwithsales (youtube)
ok i know irrelevant ung previous comment ko.back to efren,may suggestion ako,ung gantimpala sayo,instead na patayo ka ng school,lam mo na sa pinas andaming politics sa ganyan ska mahirap magtiwala sa mga tao ngayon.Instead i think mas maganda kung ituloy mo yung mobile classroom mo,this time"upgraded version".Bili ka ng jumbo na pampasaherong jeep na aircon,convert mo ung loob,lagyan ng whiteboard sa gitna,tas at least 6 na LCD PC's to save space,tas educational software pra sa mga bata.
Sana wag nyo muna binabanggit ung quote na "im proud to be a filipino" we hav alot to prove muna ska gasgas na yan eh,sumikat ata yan nung 90's pa i think sa commercial,im not sure.its not wrong pero pwede naman iimply sa ibang sentence ung point nun ska pwede irephrase for example sa tagalog "mabuhay ka efren", dont get offended sana pero kung bawat pilipino pag nagcomment eh yan palagi ang alam sabhin eh para taung gradeschooler kung sumagot. mas maganda pa kung magtagalog nalang tau dito.
The burning desire of Efren is to "give service/help" to those who are less fortunate or in need. This part is really impossible for our Pinas Politician/s. They rather " be serve" and think of their "pocket money". Pinas government now recognize Efren "AFTER" CNN give him an award. Salute to each and every heroe/s who want to make change/s to the good for mankind. Unlike the Pinas Politician which is thinking only for the change of the content of their "POCKET MONEY".
BOYHENYO123, ayan ka na naman.. kaya tuloy other races can't helped but to comment against us kasi ang yabang natin! can't we celebrate Pacquiao's & Efren's achievements WITHOUT triumphalism? bcos the moment we count of our high-achievers (which is very few and far between) napipilitan sila to counter attack. yon, nakikita tuloy how pathetic and boastful many of us are. nakakahiya!!
I'm just watching Rated K of Korina featuring Efren and it's just to sad to see that the local goverment just started to notice efren's heroics after he was proclaimed cnn hero by the world. It's just goes to show that the philippine governance want's a part of efren's accomplishment which can never be achieve until there are corrupts in the administration.
There are many Filipinos recognized by other country because of their heroic but it sad though because our own country didn't recognize them. The government nothing to do but fighting each other due to their selfishness and hunger of power and money of filipinos. I love Philippines. I am hoping that we Filipinos, we will choose the next leader have a heart to serve our country and with honesty and integrity. Above all, a leader who fear God.
you know what foreign country tell about phil govt..ITS A SHOWBIZ GOV....more on popularity .....look at efren ...he did it for our country not for popularity...kayong mga bullshit na nakaupo tumayo na kayo at nakakahiya na kayo sa buong mundo..puro kayo kurakut....kayabangan at nkarangyaan ang nalaman....samapal na ito para sa nakaupo sa gubryerno...
You see how stupid is that Efren Penaflorida was recognize for being a hero by a foreign network company instead of recognizing him first by our own government? and after that he won that award, our government is started to give him some awards too? you fucking serious? fucking hypocrites! BTW, Congrats Efren!
wag padadala sa mga artista lalo na kay kris aquino......WTF, namatay lng si CORY and they think NOYNOY would become a good president as well?? HELLO!!! noynoy and that douchebag ALLAN CAYETANO only made it to senate for their relentless attacks on arroyo, (and i'm not defending her, arroyo shud rot in hell too!) akala mo kung sino silang malinis magsalita, wala namang maiprovide na solution sa problema ng bansa..puro batikos ginawa para lang SUMIKAT!!!
"Nonoy Aquino" and "Gilberto Teodoro" are TRUE BRIGHT FUTURE FOR PHILIPPINES. The REST? thats a HUGE!!!! question mark....The rest we dont know whats their plan and if they have a plan(it sound fishy)....Vote for either Nonoy Aquino or Gilberto Teodoro, i will mark my word...Filipinos around the world will not regret if either of this 2 Proud Filipinos with GREAT Plan for Philippines will win.
Vote for either Gilbero Teodoro or Nonoy Aquiano for 2010 President. ^^
we salute you efren for all the sacrifices youve made just to help other people..im so happy that all hardworks that you put into it had been paid off and you truly deserves all the honor and prestige that youre reaping right now.for me what youve achieved was phenomenal, the unconditional love and concerned that you shared to other people,though the prize money wasnt big enough,the honor that you give to our country is priceless..you make us really proud to be a filipino.your the true hero
"Serve, serve well, serve others above yourself and be happy to serve." The exact opposite of the politicians out there, especially the fucked up Arroyos. And not only them. Almost 95% of them are the exact opposite of Efren Penaflorida.
What a shame. In a country where the smarts are, the government is always run by assholes. Tsk. tsk.tsk. tsk.
somegoodguy1005 its not just Arroyo man... Its more like EVERY PERSON IN PHILIPPINES POLITICAL SYSTEM WHO ARE IN POWER FROM THE TOP TO THE BUTTOM ARE FREAKIN CORRUPT. LIke what Efren said, CHANGE and WELLING TO SERVE STARTS in EVERY EACH HUMAN BEING. Collectively, WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE. This comming Election in the Philippines. The only candidate that seems SERIOUS IN SERVING THE COUNTRY FOR BETTER CHANGE are Noynoy Aquino and Teodoro
Enfren you make us proud!!! Congratulations you are a true inspiration to all Filipinos and the World! But even as you grace the world today, so much challenges lie ahead but I for one will be amongst those who wish and pray for the best in you and hope that the oppurtunity will come for you to lead our Country. Many leaders of our Country may not celebrate with their heart with you as they have put this on their pockets and many will belittle what you achieved as these brought shame on them!
Mabuhay ka Efren... we are proud of you!! Your dream is also our dream!! wish that You can build up and educate more of our children.You have all our moral support!
sobra ka naman... kaya d umaasenso pinas eh.. kasi samga ugali katulad mo.. maniwala kana lang kc... at saka d naman halos lahat alam yang cnn hero award eh.. na may pinoy na nominated dyan.. tsk tsk tsk.. pilipino talaga....
Let's all stop the corruption...let's vote for politicians similar to Efren who care about Filipinos.
Those liars should be ashamed of themselves, they're all talk but nothing gets done, they passed laws but laws that only benefits the rich and their cronies. They appoint government officials but only those they knew, friends or family members...let's stop these incompetent politicians keep serving the country. It's only ourselves we're depriving of honest officials if we don't vote right!
Napanood ko ito sa CNN at pinaka ang mga top ten heroes... grabe tlagang di biro rin ang mga top ten heroes pero si Efren ang nag standout... saludo ako syo..
masanay na tayong mga pilipino na wag asahan ng gobyerno sa mga gusto nating pag babago, bago mag comment sa ibang gawain ng ibang tao linisin muna yung sariling bakuran. Kaya naman pala tumulong kahit walang posisyon bakit yung iba gumagastos pa ng milyon para lang sa commercial... mga PINOY wag nyo na iboto yung mga naupo na paulit ulit na wala naman nagawa... PARANG AWA NYO NA!!!!! ..................NOYNOY Trapo
This guy said he will not be in politics! it only proves that you don't have to run office to help and do public service.....He makes filipino politicians ashamed of themselves..........I hope there'll be millions of filipinos who will be inspired by you.....and will not follow the bloody greedy and dirty politics in the philippines!
saludo din ako ke efren!!! and i agree with somegoodguy1005...ang BASA ko sa CNN is ipamukha sa GOBYERNO ng Pilipinas is to wake up!!! nakakahiya kayo!!!mga nsa GOBYERNO!!! gusto kong magwalaaaa!!!! ung isang tulad ni Elmer ay merong naipakitang halimbawa na gumawa ng sariling proyekto na kyang tumulong sa malilit!! ngayon sasabit pa kyo sa kanya??? gumawa kyo ng totoong project tulad ng kay elmer!!! kyong Arroyo Govt...senado,lalo na sa mga congressman at governors!! pwe kyong lahat!!!
nakakabilib talaga! basta may takot at pagmamahal sa Diyos magagawa niya ang mga bagay na makakabuti sa kanyang kapwa. At yan ang nagtulak kay kuya Efren para magawa niya ang maglingkod sa mga bata ng walang hinihintay na kapalit at alam ko na ang Diyos na mismo ang gumawa ng way para mabigyan ng parangal ang ginawa niya at ng lahat ng bumubo ng Club 8586 at ng Dynamic Teen Company....

It is sad that the Arroyo administration suddenly gave Efren the Lakandula Award after CNN made him their Hero of the Year. He has been doing this for years and years now and for her administration to suddenly recognized him is simply outrageous. Can somebody explain this to me. Thank God we have people like him to show the world. Maybe, just maybe he can be the catalyst to the graft and corruption that the Philippines is very well known all over the world. Cheers Efren.
The "Midget" awarding another true hero? Why not award herself for helping millions of poor Pilipinos, sana give Erap an award for candidating again. Perwisyo at linta ng lipunan.....
Efren continue your good deeds, You are a Hero indeed. Don't think of going into politics or stay away from politics. You can serve people in need with no hidden agenda and not like the corrupt politicians there in the Philippines.
My Kiwi husband and I are really moved by your story in serving others, you will surely have your reward in heaven. God bless you, your co-volunteers and the kids.
PS: Beware of those politicians that will visit you and ur organization for endorsement. Cheers,
Congratulations .... mabuhay ka!! Sana marami ka pa matungan at mas gamitin ang perang napanalunan sa tamang paraan... Inspirasyon namin ang tulad mo... -italya..

@Blavat666 Sorry I didn't see that interview on Lincecum. If he prefers not to be associatd with Filipinos, that's his right. Local & international news media dig up their background just to broadcast something to the world. A lot of part Filip celebs like Enrique Iglesias. I have his Cds but I didn't find out his mom's Filip until lately. Some top showbiz celebs are mixed. Masa love those with fair skin "kutis artista" sick.. All Belo's patients. Where's the true Filipina beauties now.

Making up stories again blav?....hey do you know Bruno Mars of Just the way you are is also part Filipino..another one you can start bashing during your pastime hahah...

@Blavat666 Problem din ng India yang exporting. Scientist, engineers leave their countries parang Philippines. Kaya nga anak ng anka para maging OFWs after. yeah para katulong, nakakahiya! shoot i'm out of battery on my laptop.

@Blavat666 Actually ok lng manalo si Efren. Wla ng dapat itago sa kabulukan ng bansa. Out of 95 million, ilan ilan lgn ang may pagiisip. Walang ng pag-asa ang Pilipinas. It's too late to change it. Guess, we'll just have to enjoy whatever good news we get these days. With the Supreme Court na hawak ni Arroyo, positively, graft and corruption will never end. Education is all screwed up. High dropouts, low budget. Dpat siguro tumakbo ka na lng pagka presidente

@Blavat666 Of course, I understand. You're good at it ! You bait them for argument and I can just imagine you laughing like crazy there when they respond LOL.. but I like to provide information than hit you with curses and whip your ass until you're bloody lol...justkidding. .I love how you say bakit ikaw lng ang binigyan ng talino hahahah...
jeansforjustice 1 year ago
@Blavat666 Not much research on Efren since his profile is posted at the CNN world site. There are more info about him but we're allowed only 500 characters here lol...you got the short version. I, myself didn't realize he has done this since 1997. Yet our own govt do not recognize individuals like him until such int'l Heroes Awards calls for nominations.I'm happy someone entered his name bcause that award came with $100k. This year's award went to India. All 3rd world country lol..who else.

@Blavat666 BTw, they are like regular schools w/ enrollment period every May. Students committed to attend for one school year, require parents to sign their enrollment forms.His dream is to become Sec of DepEd. He wants to address values formation of teachers & transparency.In some PS, teachers charge students fees for cleaning materials production of exam papers when there are allotted budget for this.Interesting concept to educate children while govt solve squatters, dumpsites. if ever shit

@Blavat666 Volunteers have learned to value their education more, now that they’ve encountered children whose families cannot afford to send them to a formal school. They are motivated to learn and do well, so that they can impart what they’ve learned to the kids. Also, there are fewer gang-related incidents in those areas. Gang membership has decreased. Efren said when he was a gang member, he’d go out and walk into a gangfight, or see gang members congregate under the bleachers in school.

@Blavat666 Kariton Klasrum has 5 stations:2 classrooms on literacy skills,values formation.Clinic treats students w/minor cuts&scrapes, teaching basic hygiene.Play center filled w/books&educational toys. Food used to be primary motivation for the kids to attend classes. Now they’re more excited to read books.Two donated laptops used @play center. Eductl games teach them typing,internet research, and extension of literacy program. He uses Montessori methods. Alumni nurses incharge of First Aid.

@Blavat666 Boy..you laugh like evil Santa Claus lol.. Info about Efren. He started the org in 1997 w/10,000 member. Some remained active with the organization and are now volunteer teachers served four sites: the marketplace, dumpsite, Himlayang Caviteño [a local cemetery], and Badjao community. Market&Himlayan 60 students/session, dumpsite 80 students/session, Badjao 90 students/session. Five groups of students to teach: unschooled, kindergarten, Gr 1-3, 4-6, and teens [who wants to volunteer]

@Blavat666 I'm not sure how his system works. It will make more sense if all volunteers andhimself goes to their assigned location on a regular basis to educate the children properly. Check his website. He has a nonprofit organization, Dynamic Teen Company. dynamicteencompany(dot)org Perhaps someone can update him about his system. It made a big impact since he won CNN award since other countries expressed interest in replicating his mobile classroom system.

The pushcart model has been replicated more than 50 times by different organizations and institutions across the Philippines. The duplication of the pushcart school system is happening now in different provinces and regions of the country. Other countries want to replicate them. Filipinos have become more aware of the need for these children to be educated, fed and taken care of. Before, they saw [a pushcart] as a symbol of poverty, but now they see a pushcart as a symbol of hope and education.
jeansforjustice 1 year ago
@Blavat666 LOL...You know the answer to that! Phils is a third world country. No regular teachers for 8000 street kids in Manila. Efren was doing this only on weekends with other volunteers. I don' t know how many volunteers but they do not teach advanced education. He said that the government heads received an instruction from the president to have the pushcart schools replicated all over the country. More classrooms are pending as Aquino's reviews to expand the mobile classrm system.

@Blavat666 Few street educators like Efren can effectively meet the needs of these children. He's an ex-street kid survivor himself and showed high levels of resourcefulness and resilience. He uses strong peer support system. You know, helping each other survive. Experienced street children teaching new comers how to survive. I remembered him saying how he uses food to bring them together but teach them. If only this govt will put them to schools, it will alleviate some of their problems.

@Blavat666 Big difference Blavat! Illac Diaz comes from a good clan, a businessman, a model, Harvard graduate who founded several organizations benefiting the poor. He made it to the CNN Hot list of global entrepreneurs. While Efren Penaflorida is just an ordinary everyday person recognized by CNN for his own way of changing the world. Coming from a poor family, not good looking, he shared his kariton concept of educating street kids. He deserved to win.Btw,I voted for him too lol.so watch it!

@Blavat666 You just hit the real reason why the Catholic Church is saying not to pass the RH Bill. Keep Increasing the population. They are assets to Philippines and not liabilities. They made Efren a winner! They're good only for voting online, buying concert tickets, albums of their favorite singers! Kahit gutom basta maging popular lang sa buong mundo. And of course, para maraming bata na ma-molest ang mga paring yan. Kawawang bansa.

Efren Penaflorida will mark his one year as CNN Hero of the Year this month of November! Well, I'm quite happy that's the only Filipino who won this prestigious award last year. He started the pushcart education but we must imitate like him. A true hero is not just to fight for our country but to serve to the poor Filipino communities to uplift from the deepest levels of poverty. Thank you, Efren, for making number one hero in CNN!!!

rebels, NPA, MNLF, MILF, Politicians are all in the same level, they're not helping to elevate the Philippines to 2nd world country status despite the fact that most of its people are educated and skilled.

countries treasure and success rely on its people and person like Efren Penaflorida set a good example.
One person need no money, need not be a powerful politician, not member of powerful clan, but only need a motivation, sacrifice, purest heart of serving the street children and strong determination despite of all kind of insults along the way to be HERO.
His example is what our politicians need to be "SERVING THE PEOPLE"
Ampatuans are extreme opposite level of Efren.
Mabuhay ka Efren

Enfren you make us proud!!! Congratulations you are a true inspiration to all Filipinos and the World! But even as you grace the world today, so much challenges lie ahead but I for one will be amongst those who wish and pray for the best in you and hope that the oppurtunity will come for you to lead our Country. Many leaders of our Country may not celebrate with their heart with you as they have put this on their pockets and many will belittle what you achieved as these brought shame on them!

magaling to, IDOL, i agree with jambroco,
wala nga naman halos benefit sa mga mahihirap ang mga batas na ipinapatupad, nararamdaman ko iyon kasi mahirap din kami, UPUAN

Let's all stop the corruption...let's vote for politicians similar to Efren who care about Filipinos.
Those liars should be ashamed of themselves, they're all talk but nothing gets done, they passed laws but laws that only benefits the rich and their cronies. They appoint government officials but only those they knew, friends or family members...let's stop these incompetent politicians keep serving the country. It's only ourselves we're depriving of honest officials if we don't vote right!

If there is any filipino that is deserving to
be an elected official . No doubt that Efren
should be the new face of change in the
sad state of our nation's politics.Putting
others before self is the kind of character
trait we need in serving our country.

masanay na tayong mga pilipino na wag asahan ng gobyerno sa mga gusto nating pag babago, bago mag comment sa ibang gawain ng ibang tao linisin muna yung sariling bakuran. Kaya naman pala tumulong kahit walang posisyon bakit yung iba gumagastos pa ng milyon para lang sa commercial... mga PINOY wag nyo na iboto yung mga naupo na paulit ulit na wala naman nagawa... PARANG AWA NYO NA!!!!! ..................NOYNOY Trapo

This guy said he will not be in politics! it only proves that you don't have to run office to help and do public service.....He makes filipino politicians ashamed of themselves..........I hope there'll be millions of filipinos who will be inspired by you.....and will not follow the bloody greedy and dirty politics in the philippines!

nakakabilib talaga! basta may takot at pagmamahal sa Diyos magagawa niya ang mga bagay na makakabuti sa kanyang kapwa. At yan ang nagtulak kay kuya Efren para magawa niya ang maglingkod sa mga bata ng walang hinihintay na kapalit at alam ko na ang Diyos na mismo ang gumawa ng way para mabigyan ng parangal ang ginawa niya at ng lahat ng bumubo ng Club 8586 at ng Dynamic Teen Company....

It is sad that the Arroyo administration suddenly gave Efren the Lakandula Award after CNN made him their Hero of the Year. He has been doing this for years and years now and for her administration to suddenly recognized him is simply outrageous. Can somebody explain this to me. Thank God we have people like him to show the world. Maybe, just maybe he can be the catalyst to the graft and corruption that the Philippines is very well known all over the world. Cheers Efren.

The "Midget" awarding another true hero? Why not award herself for helping millions of poor Pilipinos, sana give Erap an award for candidating again. Perwisyo at linta ng lipunan.....

Efren continue your good deeds, You are a Hero indeed. Don't think of going into politics or stay away from politics. You can serve people in need with no hidden agenda and not like the corrupt politicians there in the Philippines.
