About the Campaign
The Many Faces of the Teacher is an advocacy campaign launched
by the Bato Balani Foundation Inc. aimed to extol the virtues of teaching
by providing role models who can inspire excellence. It recognizes
leaders in the teaching profession, examples of true heroes who can be
a source of inspiration and knowledge for their fellow teachers and
students.

student, nurture and mold the character of future leaders and heroes,
hence, becoming a force that shapes this nation. It upholds the leaders

sublime nature and valuable contribution of the teacher to society
thereby encouraging every Filipino mentor to achieve excellence in teaching.
