The first Filipino awarded the CNN 'Hero of the tear award. Efren Penaflorida or kuya "F" as they call him started the Dynamic Teen Company when he was 16 years old. Efren a teacher and a social worker devoted his time for free to the less fortunate kids in his surroundings.
Once again a Filipino showed the world what we can do and what kind of heart we have. Efren the principal of Kariton Classroom has been teaching the deprived children with his Kariton. He goes to the community pushing the Kariton Classroom to educate the children who are victims of poverty. It is indeed a true inspiration and a symbol of hope for everyone. Kuya F's dedication and sacrifice for these children will carve the history of the Philippines and the world.
Thought this award is a great honor for Efren and a great example for the youth of today. I can't compel myself to question the Philippine Government regarding the policies of the educational system. Why do we have to wait for a foreign firm to recognize deeds like this? Now that Efren got the worldwide recognition I am pretty sure all the agencies in the Country will simply jump on the wagon. Such a pity in reality that our own Government is very much blinded and is having a hard time to recognize ordinary people like Efren.
Kuya Efren, Congratulations are not enough for the great work you have done. Thank you for inspiring each one of us. Thank you for being a Hero to the helpless. Thank you for braving, when others ran and ignore the harsh reality of life.
