The award was given during the culmination of the Provincial Linggo ng Kabataan on December 10, 2021 at The Governor's Farm, Barangay Luvimin, Kidapawan City, Cotabato.

"For the past 5 years of the organization's existence in the province, this has been the first time we have received the highest recognition from the provincial government – by receiving this plaque. It reminds us of the collective efforts, dedication and sacrifices of our volunteers and partners. This inspired us to do greater things in the name of peace and development," he said.
