NaFFAA Voices On The Road To Empowerment
![Page 12: 2008 Regional Report For Na Ffaa Seattle Conference 09262008](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060204/55a0728d1a28ab44498b463c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Heroism (Kabayanihan) at the Local Level.
Answering the Need to Honor and Inspire Community Kabayanihan.
• For their heroism, individuals have been honored by the community. But there has been no vehicle for honoring entire groups or community organizations.
• This is the need that we propose to meet with the Annual NaFFAA Kabayanihan Awards for Community Service.
![Page 13: 2008 Regional Report For Na Ffaa Seattle Conference 09262008](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060204/55a0728d1a28ab44498b463c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Kabayanihan Awards will honor community organizations – whether or not affiliated with NaFFAA – that have rendered outstanding and meaningful service to the community in the following fields or benefiting the following sectors:
• Education• Youth • Senior Citizens • Women• Health• Immigration & Human Rights• Entrepreneurship• Arts & Culture• Aid to the Philippines• Civic Involvement

Kabayanihan Awards for Community Service
• An 11th category, the Alex Esclamado Award for Advocacy, is for any organization that has advocated in a sustained and outstanding manner a cause or causes that have had a profound impact on the FilAm community or the American mainstream.
• It is named after Alex Esclamado, the founder of NaFFAA and one of the most ardent advocates of the rights and interests of Filipino Americans and of the Philippines. For this, he was conferred the Legion of Honor by President Corazon Aquino and the Ellis Island Award on the occasion of the 250th year of the founding of the United States.
