All over the Philippines, countless men and women are leading extraordinary lives of heroes - working on their calling, helping and supporting their communities, living exemplary lives in ordinary circumstances. Whether supporting advocacies on environmental activism, peace and conflict resolution, human rights protection, youth and women empowerment, health and wellness promotion, education, cultural appreciation and others, these individuals are dedicating their lives in creating the future they want, a country shaped, shared and protected with others.
Just who are these Filipinos? What are their initiatives? How did their journey in becoming an Imaginal Hero unfold?
MISSION Manila has mapped out their heroic feats in partnership with Barangay San Antonio in Pasig City, The Goodwill Group of Companies, Earth Flora,The Green Shop, 4Life and Ataman Coop.
