MANILA, Philippines – Three Filipino law students took home the top prize in a worldwide video contest organized by the International Labor Organisation (ILO).
The entry submitted by Alfonso Orioste, Jr., Janeca Naboya and Gian Carlo Miranda beat out hundreds of entries from around the world. The contest, which was open to individuals or groups ages 18-29, was aimed to show how the global economic crisis affected the lives of the youth.
Based on a statement issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs, the team’s winning video entry “Listen to my Story” is about Janet, a Filipina teacher who is forced by circumstance to seek employment as a domestic worker in the Middle East.
The team received the prize during ILO’s Youth Employment Forum held in Geneva, Switzerland from May 23 to 25.
Orioste, Naboya and Miranda are currently students of the law schools of San Beda College, Lyceum of the Philippines and Ateneo de Manila University, respectively. –ABS-CBNnews.com
