Since 2016, the non-profit group has provided educational support to more than 1,500 students in the provinces of Cagayan and Kalinga, as well as programs that benefit indigenous communities.
Dr. Manuel and fellow I-SAVED members accepted their award during the ceremony held on December 12, 2024, at the Metropolitan Theater in Manila.
In addition, ULST Architecture graduate Ar. Dominic L. Danao was recognized for being this year’s SOV regional winner and a national qualifier for the Individual-Youth Category.
