The Manila Electric Company (Meralco), in cooperation with the University of the Philippines, announces the nationwide search for the second Gawad Haydee Yorac for Outstanding Public Service.
The award recognizes leaders from the private sector, government service and volunteer organizations whose attributes, personal work ethics and service to the nation are worth emulating.
Just like the late Yorac, the awardee must be a role model for public service. Like her, the awardee must have attributes, ethics and life examples that guide his/her daily manifestations of service and leadership. In the process, the awardee consistently carries out his/her commitments and duties, accomplishing deeds that reflect the inner foundation of integrity, courage, selflessness and conscience.
