One unique factor that stood out in this year’s pool of nominations was that almost all of the projects involved elements of voluntary community service. These professionals not only provided their expertise while performing their daily jobs under increasing pressure to secure our systems and infrastructure, they also gave back to their communities. I look forward to celebrating the achievements of this year’s honorees with distinguished guests at the ceremony in Manila later this month.”
