"Hindi lang basta clean up drive ang ginagawa sa Bayani Challenge. Ang inaayos nito ay ang relasyon ng mga pamilya. Walang limitasyon kung tayo ay sama-sama," shared Padre Garcia Mayor Abraham Gutierrez who witnessed the mending of relationships through volunteerism activities in the municipality's entire 18 barangays.


"Tumutulong ako kasi nakikita ko silang masaya," said a volunteer who traveled several hours to help fellow Filipinos at Padre Garcia, Batangas during Bayani Challenge 2015. He is one of thousands who chose to spend summer with strangers we now call family.

BENGUET (Tublay)

Centuries ago, our ancestors from the Cordilleras ended hunger by building rice terraces. Today we confidently say Filipinos can ?#?EndPoverty? by way of Bayanihan!

1st ?#?BayaniChallenge? in the Cordillera region, best time to be Filipino! Lakas ng pagbabago!

Volunteers from Antipolo, Manila, Ilocos Sur, Benguet, Bulacan and Batangas formed the Bayanihan line to bring materials to the farthest build site. A reminder of how our ancestors built rice terraces in the Cordillera. Bayanihan lives on! Bayanihan + the beauty of nature's view -- the best of the Philippines! More fun indeed! ?#?EndPoverty? ?#?BayaniChallenge? ?#?Benguet?

BC2015 Dali Dagsa Workshop: Transforming waste to something productive and beautiful.
"Kung hindi ka magsasawang bigyan ng pagmamahal yung dagsa (drift wood), makakagawa ka ng bagay na maganda." Tatay Felco Rivera, 55 years old, Eco-warrior

Kalinga Night at Mabinay Central School, Negros Oriental


"Bawat barangay may kakayahan at may kakulangan. Pero hindi tayo nandito para mag focus lang sa kakulangan ng ating barangay. Andito tayo para tulungan ang ating barangay at wag umasa na lang"


— Jaja Reynoso, GK Worker



Applying the Dagsa workshop they learned yesterday during our school refurbishing today. Using materials found around the school and wood discarded in a pile.

Kalinga Night featured a Trashion Show brought to you by the youth of Negros Oriental. Using materials we usually throw away on a daily basis, these innovative youth spent the day designing their costumes and put together a show in just a day! Amazing!
