DUBAI: The “2nd The Filipino Times Awards” is now open for nominations to honor Overseas Filipinos who have made significant strides to achieve world-class status. “It has always been our ardent desire to recognize the pivotal role of Overseas Filipinos in our society.
We believe that their valuable contribution to the betterment of society must be given recognition, ” said Karen Remo, TFT editor-in-chief. Remo adds: “A year after we launched the inaugural awards, several other Overseas Filipinos have started putting their best foot forward, doing their own contribution to the community, the UAE and the world,” she added.
One of the newest commendations this year is the “TFT Global Excellence Award.” It is a coveted title that will be given to five winners.
Nominees may come from anywhere in the world. The nominees will be judged according to their leadership, professional success, community service, values and work management, creativity and eye for innovation.
