The TAYO Awards was one of the flagship programs of the National Youth Commission until 2019.[4] It is the most prestigious award given to youth groups in the Philippines.[5]

Background

The TAYO Awards was founded by Senator Francis Pangilinan in partnership with the then National Youth Commission Chairperson Bam Aquino in 2002.[6] Since its establishment, the program has accommodated at least 250 nominations annually.[7] Throughout the years, it has also gathered corporate sponsors to give out special awards to its nominees.[5]

The TAYO Awards was one of the flagship programs of the National Youth Commission until 2019[4] under Ronald Cardema's term as the Commission's Chairperson and CEO. Cardema's term in 2019, the National Youth Commission stopped sponsoring the award-giving program to establish the President Rodrigo Roa Duterte Youth Leadership Awards[8] which eventually did not materialize.[8]
