In a bustling metropolis like the UAE, lies a group of unsung heroes silently shaping the tapestry of the Filipino community. Marlyn Castro, the visionary CEO of Pinas Cargo, alongside, Rumelyn Aribon, their HR and Marketing Manager, started on a noble quest to illuminate the extraordinary tales of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) through the esteemed Dakilang Manggagawang Pilipino (DMP) initiative. Now, in its 4th season this 2024, DMP is anchored on four criteria: the essence of nobility in their family, work, community, and spiritual life.

The process includes:

1. Nominations (July 1 – August 10, 2024)

2. Eliminations (August 11, 2024 – Selection of Top 20)

3. Deliberations (August 18, 2024 – Selection of Top 10)

4. Online Voting (August 19 – September 15, 2024)

The legacy of Dakilang Manggagawang Pilipino stands as a testament to the power of collective appreciation and recognition amongst inspiring Filipino Overseas Workers. With The Xpats Insider Training Institute supporting this event alongside other media outlets and online influencers, it's like a community coming together to say, "You're amazing, and we appreciate everything you do." Let's cheer on these unsung heroes and celebrate their stories that inspire us all.
