History

The TAYO Awards program was founded by Senator Francis Pangilinan in partnership with then-National Youth Commission (NYC) Chairperson Bam Aquino in 2002.[2]

Under the term of Chairperson Ronald Cardema in 2019, the NYC stopped sponsoring the award-giving program to establish the "President Rodrigo Roa Duterte Youth Leadership Awards", which did not materialize.[3]

Since its establishment, the program has accommodated at least 250 nominations annually.[4]

Process

Criteria

The program is open to clubs, groups, organizations, and societies whose membership and leadership are composed of at least five (5) members whose ages are 30 years old and below. The criteria for judging are as follows[5]:

  1. The project’s impact on its stakeholders
  2. The project’s means of harnessing the spirit of volunteerism
  3. The project’s creativity and innovation
  4. The project’s sustainability;
  5. The project’s effective use of resources

Categories

Participating organizations compete per category and organizations can submit multiple entries to different categories provided that each project is different. Only the four best organizations per category will be invited to the second phase of the program.[1] The categories are:

  • Education and Technology
  • Health, Well-being, and Human Development
  • Environment, Disaster Risk Reduction, and Climate Change Adaptation
  • Livelihood and Entrepreneurship
  • Culture, Arts, and Heritage

Rewards

The program's winners receive a specially commissioned trophy sculpted by Toym De Leon Imao[6] and a grant of Php 50,000 intended to fund new projects or to continue long-term programs. Special tokens are also given by the program's partners which, in the past years, have included Coca-Cola Philippines, San Miguel Corporation, Jollibee Foods Corporation, Lenovo, and PLDT-Smart.[7][8]
