Rex Bernardo chosen by the World Economic Forum as one of the Young Global Leaders for 2011

ADS alumni Rex Bernardo (a person with disability), has been chosen by the World Economic Forum as one of the Young Global Leaders for 2011.  
http://www.younggloballeaders.org/ The World Economic Forum selected 190 Young Global Leaders from 65 countries.  

 “In the Philippines, a recently selected YGL is Rex Bernardo, a multi-awarded person with disability and an advocate on the rights of persons with disabilities sector has this to say: “It is a great opportunity to advance my advocacy of inclusivity in all the sphere of society. I expect my inclusion to the YGL as a springboard to make the said advocacy more pronounced and widespread. By being able to present them in a network of change makers, the potential to make these ideas come into fruition are astounding. It would be an honour to engage my fellow leaders in a dynamic discussion to gain their support and create a network that is critical to the success of any advocacy movement.”  



 Congratulations, Rex!
