This supports the biennial search of the Philippine Center for Gifted Education, Inc. (PCGE) for gifted Filipino children and youth. Named "Mga Bagong Rizal – Pag-asa ng Bayan" after the Philippines' national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, the awardees pledge to model their lives after the principles espoused by Dr. Rizal, namely love for God and country, integrity, valor and excellence in their respective areas of ability, interest and talent. By identifying these children and youth and giving them due recognition, MDFI hopes to motivate them to continuously improve and commit themselves to become the new generation of country’s leaders in the future.
