I am amazed by how another Filipino gave pride to our country, Philippines. Mr. Efren Peñaflorida is too young to be a hero but because of his noble deeds, he became one of the most popular Filipino not only in the Philippines but in the world! The CNN, one of the most popular international news company opened it's way to Efren, an ordinary young man who, in his humble spirit helped spread education among children in the streets. Efren, together with his friends made effort to reach out to out of school youth children and give classes in the streets. He made use of a pushcart, to easily bring books and other school supplies needed for his class in the streets. Because of this, Efren was voted online with so many people and was among the top 10 nominees for the CNN "Hero of the Year" for 2009. Last Saturday, Efren Peñaflorida received the "CNN Hero of the Year Award" in Hollywood.
