The Banyuhay Awards
In a world full of challenges, there are people who shine brightly by making a positive difference in their communities. The Banyuhay Awards is all about recognizing these remarkable individuals who go above and beyond to help others and create positive change. Let’s take a closer look at what the Banyuhay Awards is all about and celebrate the incredible achievements of its recipients.
The Banyuhay Awards gets its name from Filipino words that mean, bago (new), anyo (form), and buhay (life) “new form of life.” It’s about honoring people or groups who have done outstanding work in their communities, making life better for everyone around them. These are the kind of folks who have faced tough times but still manage to inspire others with their actions.
At the core of the Banyuhay Awards is the idea of celebrating success that goes beyond just personal achievements. It’s about recognizing those who have made a real difference in the lives of others, leaving a lasting impact on their communities. These awardees show us what it means to be selfless and dedicated to making the world a better place for everyone.
In the most recent Banyuhay Awards ceremony held on March 9, 2024, one person stood out for her outstanding work in education and community development. Dr. Mary Lilibeth Yan, from MLG College of Learning, Inc. in Hilongos, Leyte, received this prestigious award for her exceptional leadership and dedication.
Dr. Yan’s achievement was highlighted by her role in helping a student become a top performer in the Board Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (BLEPT) in September 2023. Her commitment to her students and her community has made a real difference in the lives of many.
The Banyuhay Award presented to Dr. Mary Lilibeth Yan is a symbol of the amazing things that can happen when people come together to help each other. Senator Win Gatchalian and Dr. Carl E. Balita had the honor of giving her this award, recognizing her incredible contributions to education and society.
As we celebrate Dr. Yan and other Banyuhay awardees, let’s be inspired by their dedication to making the world a better place. Their actions remind us that we all have the power to create positive change in our communities and beyond.
The Banyuhay Awards remind us that even in the face of challenges, there are people who continue to inspire us with their kindness and generosity. Let’s follow their lead and strive to make a positive impact in the lives of those around us. Together, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.
