Thank You Mang Inasal For Recognizing Our Teachers As Modern Day Heroes

In celebration of National Heroes Day, the country’s number one Pinoy BBQ Restaurant, Mang Inasal launched recently the Gawad Pilipinoy Awards. This is the leading food brand’s first ever recognition program for the country’s modern-day heroes who use their skills and their passion to be of service to others.

Gawad Pilipinoy seeks to recognize outstanding individuals who share their talents to the community through a selfless advocacy. These Filipinos represent galing na Pinoy by fulfilling a passion or vocation that aims to uplift the plight of less fortunate individuals.

Mang Inasal has named Adrian Karl L. Cobrado as its first ever Gawad Pilipinoy honoree. Cobrado, a teacher by profession, is the founder of BangKarunugan, an advocacy program which aims to cultivate the love of reading among children. Cobrado provides free and accessible education to the people in the islands using a bangka (boat).

“Naniniwala ako na sa pamamagitan ng proyektong sinimulan namin, mapapalapit namin lalong lalo na sa puso ng mga bata ang pagba-basa. At doon namin naipupunla ang pag-asa, ang pagmamahal, hindi lamang sa bagba-basa, kasi magiging simula din ito ng pagmamahal nila sa edukasyon,” Cobrado said.

“Hindi lang ako teacher sa loob ng apat na sulok ng eskwelahan, kundi teacher din ako sa napakalawak na karagatan,” Conrado added.
