News Release: Search on for outstanding young men in North Luzon BY: ELSHA MARIE B. SORIANO DAGUPAN CITY, October 7 (PIA) – The search for outstanding young men and women who have shown exemplary contributions to their community is now open for nomination in North Luzon. Anchored on the theme “Changing the Future through Excellence,” the search seeks to give national recognition to young Filipinos who dedicated themselves to their profession and vocation that has resulted in significant contributions to the welfare of their countrymen as well as to the advancement of their fields of endeavor. Lawyer Mark Lester Manalo, chair of the search committee of The Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) Foundation, said nominees must be a Filipino citizen, at least 18 to 40 years old and have not reached the age of 41 by December this year and has not been conferred with the TOYM award. “Nominees must have outstanding achievement in areas of community service, arts, literature, journalism, education, law, politics, agriculture science and technology, economics, banking, business, sports, and government services,” said Manalo in a press conference held on Friday at the Metro Plaza here. Manalo added that the nominator must submit an accomplished nomination form attesting all stated facts, certified true copy of nominee’s birth certificate, two copies of 5” x 7” picture of nominee, one-page executive summary of nominee’s accomplishments, scrapbook, and scanned copies of accomplished documents. All requirements must be stored in compact disc. “Although the award has no monetary value, the recognition of the community is a prestige and a life-time achievement,” said Manalo. Dagupan City was chosen as the area to launch the nomination for TOYM Search because North Luzon has a fewer number of nomination. TOYM is a flagship project of the Junior Chamber International (JCI) Philippines and considered as the country’s prestigious award search for young Filipinos.
