From August 5 to 16, Filipinos can vote for their favorite Pinoy Heroes stories either virtually by visiting www.facebook.com/CobraPhilippines.

 

“Now on its second year, the Cobra Pinoy Hero Awards is the brand’s way of recognizing the hero potential of every Filipino” says Jef Mendoza, Senior Brand Manager of Cobra Energy Drink. “I am just amazed with how ordinary people can go beyond their call of duty or overcome seemingly insurmountable circumstances.”
