Cotabato City’s Gomer Carcueva was

Philippines.
Carcueva was among 38 nominees for the

He was the only nominee from Mindanao.
Dave Paseda of the Seda Youth Leadership
International, which organized the awards along with the National Youth
Commission, said Carcueva made it to top ten because of his commitment and
passion as a teacher in molding youth leaders under the Department of Education
in Cotabato City.

Cotabato before working at the DepEd’s Cotabato City Schools Division.
Aside from a trophy, Carcueva received a
