  2010 Gawad Geny Lopez Jr. Bayaning Kabataang Pilipino Masasabing si Mark ay isang “dynamic youth for a relevant change through academic excellence amidst poverty”. Naglaan siya ng panahon, gamit ang kanyang angking talento para sa mga mag-aaral na nagnanais makamit ang mithiing tagumpay sa Pamantasan at upang maka-angat rin sa buhay. Isa siya sa mga haligi ng outreach ng Pathways for Higher Education, at pioneer ng Tinalak Youth Group (TYG), an emulated group sprouting from Pathways ideals. Si Mark Agana ay nagpapakita ng magandang halimbawa bilang isang anak, mag-aaral at kabataan sa kanyang kumonidad. Isa patunay sa kanyang integridad ang mga papuri at parangal na kanyang natangap sa kanyang komunidad, eskwelahan at pamayanan. Sa aking pananaw ang kanyang current volunteer work British Council ay isang malaking patunay rin sa kanyang senseridad sa pagiging volunteer sa loob at labas man ng bansa.

"Volunteers are not paid not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless." Aside from December being the month dedicated to Overseas Filipino Workers, it is also dedicated to the other version of Pinoy modern heroes, the Volunteers. Photos in the above slideshow were taken during the Awarding of the Outstanding Volunteers of the Year organized by the Philippine Association for Volunteer Efforts and the National Economic Development Authority held on December 8, 2008 at Manila Hotel. Mark Aethen Agana (South Cotabato) is one of this year's awardees, in the Youth Category (that's me). Being a volunteer, it elated me very much being surrounded by fellow Filipinos who see volunteerism and community service a potential force of nationbuilding. This National Award for Volunteerism I received is dedicated to my fellow volunteers in Mindanao. This is OUR fruit of love to realize and weave the dreams of the Youth in South Cotabato, guys. To the T'nalak You...
