BPI Launched Search for 10 Outstanding Expat Pinoy Children for 2014

Expat Pinoys (OFWs) are truly deserving of their titles as the country’s modern-day heroes. They are living showcases of the endearing characteristics of Filipinos, bringing honor to the country through the diligence and resourcefulness they demonstrate in their work. They help tremendously in the progress of the country through their earnings and remittances.

An even nobler cause, fueling our Expat Pinoys’ drive in their efforts beyond borders, is their dreams for their children. Our fellow Filipinos overseas toil and labor to ensure a picturesque future for their offspring.

Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has long recognized the importance of Expat Pinoys. In another effort to cater to the needs of this sector of society, BPI is again launching the Search for 10 Outstanding Expat Pinoy Children for 2014.

Through this endeavor, BPI wishes to instill pride within the Expat Pinoy children, helping them realize the magnitude of their parents’ contribution to the country, but more importantly, to their future. It aims to inspire the children to achieve their dreams, which are the driving force of their overseas parents’ sacrifices and endless diligence. This also serves as an added motivation to our Expat Pinoys, and validation as parents to see their children excel and be honored in a prestigious award. The Search also seeks to reach out to the public’s consciousness for them to fully grasp the value to the community of the Expat Pinoys and their families.

The Search for the Ten Outstanding Expat Pinoy Children holds at stake a grant of PhP50,000.00. It is open to college students, not more than 21-years old and are children of Expat Pinoys (OFWs) with current work contract in another country. They must be presently enrolled in at least a four-year college course and should belong to the Top 10% of their class, level, or batch, and with no failing marks.

Deadline of submission of entries is on October 15, 2014
