Aside from the Asian-wide search/volunteer recognition, RMAF prepared Tribute to Volunteer Champions. Awardees were Amb. Howard Dee, Rosa Rosal and Fr.

Founding members of PhilCV also shared its programs and volunteering practices. Max G. Ventura of Kaakbay Philam Volunteer Corps, provided highlights on why a corporation should invest on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
