His tireless efforts in community service have earned him this prestigious recognition, setting a good example for others to follow in making a positive impact in their communities.

“As someone who is more comfortable working behind the scenes to facilitate events, I am flattered to have received this award. Nonetheless, it made me proud of what I had accomplished and served as validation of all of my efforts and sacrifices in growing myself to become a well-rounded individual,” said Faeldonia.

The award celebrates outstanding Filipino volunteers, like Faeldonia, who empower communities and promote volunteerism, contributing significantly to nation-building.

“This recognition is intended not just for myself, but also for the Lacsonian Community. I am very grateful to JBLFMU-Molo especially to Ma'am Nancy Rose Rico-Pelopero, Ma'am Krizna Joy Belenzion, Sir Raymund Benedick Brillantes and to all the people I have worked with for providing a positive learning environment and for giving me the opportunity to be of service. I will forever treasure the experience and I will do my best to share it with the community,” Faeldonia added.

Faeldonia's humility and dedication exemplify the spirit of volunteerism that continues to thrive in communities across the region.
