In addition, Atty. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, a former senate majority leader of the Philippines, served as guest of honor during the awarding ceremony and he challenged the HMGL finalists and the youth about their historical role in the Philippine history.

“In every society, when the youth and students get involved, social-political transformation happens. Kayo, bilang bagong henerasyon ng Kabataang Pilipino, handa ba kayong tanggapin ang hamon ng inyong papel sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas? That is the question that only you can answer,” Pangilinan said, emphasizing that the youth and students possess the passion, energy, and idealism.
