About the Campaign

The Many Faces of the Teacher is an advocacy campaign aimed to extol the virtues of teaching by
providing role models who can inspire excellence. It recognizes leaders in the teaching profession as
examples of true heroes who can be a source of inspiration and knowledge for their fellow teachers and
students.

It recognizes Filipino teachers who play a significant role in the life of a student, nurture and mold the
character of future leaders and heroes, hence, becoming a force that shapes this nation. It upholds the
leaders who happen to be teachers, an inspiration to many not only with their achievements but in the
way they live their lives and dedicate themselves to the vocation.


Bato Balani Foundation believes that by discovering these noble educators and honoring them, it will
make every Filipino aware of the sublime nature and valuable contribution of the teacher to society
thereby encouraging every Filipino mentor to achieve excellence in teaching.
