AMBETH R. OCAMPO – Honoree
BRINGING OUT THE STORY IN HISTORY
Aguinaldo’s restaurant receipts, Rizal’s quickly scribbled notes on the margin of a page
and the contents of Bonifacio’s pockets aren’t your usual historical references.
But Ambeth Ocampo isn’t your usual history professor. In his books and articles,
he transforms dry and dead tales of our past into stories so full of contextual detail,
you can almost touch, smell and hear our national heroes.
TEACHING THAT GOES BEYOND THE BLACKBOARD.

ZOILO JAYOBO PINONGCOS, JR. - Honoree
MOVING TEACHERS FROM THE BLACKBOARD TO THE KEYBOARD
For a lot of teachers, their knowledge of the web can be summed up in a document of less thant 2kb. That will soon change
if the 2009 Teacher of the Year has his way. Zoilo Pinongcos has pioneered a series of programs designed to convert
technophobe educators into next generation digerati. How serious is he about his mission?
He refused a promotion to principal and turned down a teaching post abroad.

DONALD BAGUIO DUNGOG – Honoree
USING MATH TO FIND HUMAN SOLUTIONS
His coaching + students’ time and effort = a robot that made it to the finals of the 2009 World Robotic Olympics.
Degree of difficulty: extremely high, considering the Philippines ranks 77th worldwide in Science, Math, and Engineering.
But that’s not his greatest achievement. For him, nothing compares to the sight of his former students regularly
coming back to Lapu Lapu City and using the problem-solving skills he’s taught them to find answers to real-world
questions and issues that face their communities.

EFREN BANARES BINO – Honoree
STAYING TRUE TO COMMITMENTS NO MATTER HOW HARD.
Since he set foot on the island of Barangay Mataas 14 years ago, nothing could take him away.
Not typhoons or tidal waves, not the lack of water or electricity. For 12 years, he was the school’s
lone administrator, teacher, tutor, property custodian, and night guard. When help came two years ago,
he still stayed. Because the desire to teach was stronger than anything else in the world

MA. CRISTINA ENCINAS MEDINA – Honoree
CHANGING LIMITATIONS INTO OPPORTUNITIES
Blind since 2003, she has seen her condition as a door and not a barrier.
And through it, she has reached out to visually impaired children and taught them
to push against the walls of their limitations. A master’s degree holder in special education
and industrial education, she refused a scholarship to Austrailia because it would
take her away from the place she truly loves – the Laguna Resettlement Community School.
