Rappler reports that the Philippines won an award in London for an anti-corruption project called "Citizen Participatory Audit" and who do I see in the photo -- the familiar smiling face of a blockmate.

Through this award the summit in London recognized that despite grave corruption and the pork barrel scam in the country it is still a "bright spot in the global fight against corruption".
