02:29people of Baguio.
02:30Not just only those residents of Baguio but even yung mga tourists or travelers that go to Baguio.

02:51city where people can live in.
02:54He had daming na itulong ni Peter Nam sa Baguio.

02:59The other awardee is we have a professor, Dr. Clarita Carlos.

03:14And she was also former National Security Advisor of President Marcos at the outset of his term.
03:24And the third, for the first time, we are going to give an award to a non-Filipino.
