We at Icons of Change extend our sincere congratulations to Mr. Ludwig O. Federigan on his recognition as one of this year’s awardees. His reflection in The Manila Times is a meaningful reminder that climate action and sustainability are long-term commitments—shaped not by individual accolades alone, but by the steady efforts of many working quietly to advance progress.
We at Icons of Change extend our heartfelt congratulations to ABS-CBN and RG Cruz for their well-deserved recognition at the Icons of Change Awards 2025.
