UP TFA: Finalist in Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (TAYO) Awards
On its second year, the Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (of the Philippines) Awards or the TAYO Awards, sponsored by the National Youth Commission (NYC), will hold its awarding ceremony tomorrow. Out of the 20 finalists, 2 are from the University of the Philippines -- UP Mu Sigma Phi Fraternity and UP Task Force Arki. The UP Mu Sigma Phi, the first fraternity organized and recognized by the UP College of Medicine, was cited for its medical missions. On the other hand, UP Task Force Arki was noted for its pabahay assistance in Tondo (in cooperation with SAPSPA).
About TAYO
The NYC together with the Office of Senator Kiko Pangilinan hopes that the search will serve to recognize, reward and encourage the outstanding achievements of youth organizations in the service of their communities and the country.
By recognizing the contributions of these groups, TAYO emphasizes how unity and the collective effort among the youth promote nation building while setting a high standard for the kind of service young Filipinos provide.
The TAYO covers the accomplishments of organizations from the following categories: Business, Livelihood and Entrepreneurship; Capability-Building and Education; Communications and Media; Community Development; Culture and the Arts; Environmental Protection and Conservation; Information Technology and Public Health.
UP TFA on National Television
Early this morning, the TAYO Awards Finalists were guested in the show "Breakfast" hosted by the NYC Chairman Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV. Representing UP TFA is this year's chairperson Paolo Aguilar, who they claim to be a look-a-like of Wuzzup Wuzzup's Tadjock Archie Alemania. During the interview, Aguilar expressed, "...architectural services are not only for people who can afford it." It will not be a surprise if UP TFA will make it to the top ten as its kind of public service was truly unique. Its advocacy is timely. Its mobilization is tested. Its dedication is genuine. It was just a brief tv exposure and a short interview and only a few things were said about the org, but it surely made me proud to say I , as a past member, was part of the achievement.

ooh, galing! nice to know that tfa is still doing what it's supposed to do. and somehow it also makes the effort of every batch trying to sustain the org (recruiting members, getting members to work, etc.) worthwhile. di siya biro..kaya congrats sa kanila! btw, sino ba si archie alemania? ano ba itsura niya?
pon, archie alemania is the "reklamador" guy in wuzzup wuzzup. he's also the co-host of iya yotoko in digital tour. he also appears in breakfast. hehehe... di naman halatang fan, ano?

ahh..haha..parang nakita ko si paolo..in their applicant's presentation..he was the dark guy...pretending to be a girl?
Shucks! Galing naman ng TFA! To be recognized as an org that makes a difference is already accomplishment enough, pero sana tuluy-tuloy na yun...
On a side note, nakakatawa yung Archie guy. He apes Mike Enriquez quite nicely.:)
About paolo...yup, siya yung fairy godmother ni cindylicious. He was wearing that teeny weeny white dress while flitting onstage.:)
