MANILA, Philippines – A publication based in India just named Brian Poe-Llamanzares as one of its “Global Game Changers” this 2023 for his charitable work through the FPJ Panday Bayanihan Foundation.
This comes right after he won the excellence award for philanthropy at the Aliw Awards earlier this month.
The foundation has been actively participating in disaster relief operations, nation building, and community development programs for over a decade now.
Over the years FPJ Panday Bayanihan foundation has helped over 20,000 families, distributed roughly 43,000 relief packs, and during the pandemic distributed more than 35,000 personal protective equipment.

“We’re proud to continue serving the people. It’s nice to know that people appreciate the work that we do. Our friends, family, volunteers, supporters, and donors have been a big part of the success of our NGO,” he said.
