After giving due recognition to four (4) humble yet heroic drivers in 2007, the
search for roadside heroes was once again opened in a media and busi-
-ness gathering where the2007 heroes were once again presented and
given the chance to give their thoughts on how the program changed their lives.

This year, we call on the public to actively participate in the search by nominating members of their family or community who fit the criteria,” said Goodyear president Dave Morin, acknowledging the difficulty of looking for modern-day road heroes. “Our past winners are the living, breathing proof
that heroes do still exist.We just have to look for the right ones at the right places.

The mechanics and achievements of the program were presented, after which attendees were asked to sign their names on the Bayani commit-
-ment board to show their support for the hero search.

Aside from media, program partners and transport groups, government officials such as Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) head Bayani Fernando and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) head Bert Suansing
were also at hand to help promote the campaign.
