The Galing Pook Citizenship Award recognizes and promotes the initiatives of individuals and civil society organizations that bring about positive change in the midst of continuing controversies in the government, socioeconomic difficulties, and the developmental challenges brought about by the adverse effects of climate change. NVC Foundation received this award along with four other non-government organizations. The Espoir School of Life, Health Futures Foundation, Inc, Lamac Multi-Purpose Cooperative, and the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation, Inc. (RAFI) round out the list of recipients.
