Each of the finalists were asked to defend their project in front of the panelists and the media. After the presentation, they were asked with an important question about their project. It was a breath taking event.

“Aside from serving as role models to other life changers to really make things happen, our PharmatonLife Changers have also proven that, even if they are very busy fulfilling their careers, they are still able to spare time to sustain their passions and inspire communities and other life changers,” adds Jalgalado.
“The Life Changers Challenge has really proven that Filipinos, indeed, remain passionate about dedicating their time, talents, and their respective crafts to promote the welfare of communities around them,” Jalgalado notes. “By energizing the Filipinos’ inner resolve to succeed and leave a lasting imprint to the lives of the world surrounding them, Pharmaton hopes to empower life changers to stand out and make a difference—whether it be by altering perspectives, raising the standards of one’s industry, or making a part of the world more livable than it used to be.”
