The Bayani Challenge is open to everyone who is interested to take part in this extraordinary act of solidarity and heroism for the nation. There is no age limit but for those under 18, please accomplish waiver forms (available in the website) to be collected on Day 1. Bring your family, friends, classmates, and co-workers. The more the merrier!

HOW DO I JOIN? IS THERE A REGISTRATION FEE?

Go to http://bayanichallenge.com/bc2015-registration to register. Email the completed registration forms to bayanichallenge@gawadkalinga.com, and we will confirm with you once received. For groups, one team consists of 15 members. If you’re a smaller group or individual, we will be merging you with other teams. There is NO registration fee, but you will take care of your own expenses.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?

We have a daily schedule of fun and exciting activities complete with sessions during the night. Depending on the needs of the area, the Local Secretariat may assign your team to the following: House Build, Paraisong Pambata (Play Therapy for Kids), Kusina ng Kalinga (Care Kitchen), Kalinga ng Kalikasan (Environment), Kalinga ng Kalusugan (Health Mission), Sports Program, or Disaster Preparedness.

WHERE WILL WE BE STAYING DURING THE EVENT?

We will be providing accommodations in the form of public school classrooms or a camp site where you can pitch your tents (tent city). Please bring you own sleeping bags and other necessities. If you wish to stay somewhere more comfortable, you can contact the different resorts near the area. Our Local Secretariat team will get in touch with you upon confirmation of registration.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO GO? DO WE HAVE TO STAY FOR 5 DAYS?

You can find the schedule of the 5-day highlight events in the website, where you can also find a full list of the participating municipalities.
 
If you really can’t spend 5 days in the Bayani Challenge, you can always choose to come at your convenient time. And if you can stay longer, we’d definitely love to have you!
