00:00Samantala sa kanyang tatlong dekada ang paglilingkot at pagtulong sa marginalized community,
00:05si ginawad kay Jane Walker ang 43rd St. Teresa of Calcutta Awards 2026.
00:11Alamin natin ang kanyang journey at ang kwentos sa likod ng pagkilala sa kanyang mga nagawa.
00:16Honorin po natin ito.
00:19Sa loob ng 30 taon, inilaan ng British National at Humanitarian na si Jane Walker
00:25ang kanyang buhay para iangat ang kalagayan ng mga batang Pilipino.
00:30Taong 1996, nagbisitahin ni Jane ang bansa.
00:33Naging saksi siya sa mahirap at nakakapanlumong sitwasyon na mga batang namumulot ng basura sa mga dump site ng Maynila.
00:41Ito ang nagtulak sa kanya para magpatayo ng isang baliit na daycare center sa Tundo.
00:47What I saw was young children that were child workers and some of them were as young as 3 years
00:55of age.
00:55It was the most shocking thing that I had ever seen.
00:58I thought the daycare center would give them happy memories. So that's how it started.
01:04Iniwan ni Jane ang kanyang magandang trabaho at karera sa United Kingdom upang tuluyang manirahan sa Pilipinas at ilaan ang
01:11kanyang buhay sa pagtulong.
01:14I really felt that I had seen something that I would never be able to unseen. And now I am
01:2062. I was 33 when I first came. I never wanted to be this age and regret that I didn't
01:28do anything to help them.
01:29The children that I used to see in the trash now engineers and architects and nurses.
01:35Ang natatangin paglilingkod na ito ni Jane ay kinilala sa 43rd St. Teresa of Calcutta Award.
01:42For us and the vision of AY Foundation is really to acknowledge people na normally hindi natin napapansin na malaki
01:51ang contribution sa ating society.
01:53And it's very important that they feel recognized, they feel seen. Para po mas madami pa ang matutulungan nila and
02:02mas marami pa po silang ma-inspire.
02:04There are 13 nominations this year from all over the country.
02:08Ang daming problema ng bansa natin ngayon. Nakakatawang isipin na merong isang tao.
02:14Yun nga, hindi pa Pilipino pero minamahal yung bansa natin. Di ba? Napakalaking bagay nun.
02:19Simula pa noong 1983, kinikilala na ng St. Teresa of Calcutta Award ang mga indibidwal na mahigip 25 taong naglilingkod
02:28at tumutulong sa mga mahihirap.
02:30Bukod sa prestigyosong parangal, tinanggap din ni Jane ang 1 million pesos grant na direktang mapupunta sa mga programa ng
02:37kanyang foundation.
02:39Receiving the award is really on behalf of all of us and not just the team and the volunteers that
02:47work with us,
02:48but also the beneficiaries who put all of their trust in us that we will do what we say and
02:54they have learned to rely on us.
02:57I think Filipinos are some of the most hospitable people in the world, but also the kindest, the friendliest, and
03:05more than anything, authentic.
03:07Ang St. Teresa of Calcutta Award ay hindi lamang basta pagkilala kay Jane Walker,
03:13kundi isang patunay na ang totoong serbisyo ay walang pinipiling lahi.
03:18Ang kanyang tatlong dekadang paglilingkod ay higit ng sapat na basihan ng kanyang puso para sa Pilipinas at sa mga
03:25Pilipino.
03:26Ang kanyang t microphone, tayong puso para sa mga Pilipino.
