Efren Florida is the 2009 CNN Hero of the Year

Off the heels of Manny Pacquiao's historic win and controversies, another Filipino gives us another reason to be proud to be Pinoy.

Efren Penaflorida, the one who started the "kariton klasrum" or pushcart classroom concept, and the founder of the Dynamic Teen Concept, is voted the CCN Hero of the Year for 2009.

All of the Top Ten finalists receive USD 25,000. Efren, being the top this year will get USD 100,000. More good news for the hundreds of kids who have grown to depend on this program.

The event will air in CNN on November 26, at 9:00 PM ET/PT.
