The Philippine Embassy wishes to inform that it is now accepting nominations for the Presidential Awards for Filipino Individuals and Organizations Overseas (PAFIOO) until 31 July 2020 (Philippine time).
The Philippine government confers PAFIOO to honor and recognize overseas Filipinos and other individuals or organizations who contribute to Philippine development initiatives, promote the interests of the Filipino diaspora, or have exceptionally distinguished themselves in their work.

2. Banaag Award conferred on Filipino individuals or organizations for their contributions that have significantly benefited a sector of the diaspora, or advanced the cause and interest of overseas Filipino communities
3. Pamana ng Pilipino Award conferred on overseas Filipino individuals, who, in exemplifying the talent and industry of the Filipino, have brought the country honor and recognition through excellence and distinction in the pursuit of their work or profession
