� Hallmark Woman Achiever Awardee
� 2001 Ulirang Ina Awardee
It was the big launch of Century Tuna's new ad with the Mega-Endorser. A TV news crew was doing a one-on-one with Miss Mega. Promising that that would be her last question, a neophyte TV reporter, slightly starstruck by the legendariness of the woman in front of her, began her query thus : "Ma'am...."

There's Olympic silver-medalist boxer Mansueto Velasco who, according to his compatriots, is an underdog, robbed of his moment of glory in Atlanta. There's Sarah Balabagan, the resilient symbol of hope and heroism for Flipino OCW's everywhere.

They were the heroes in the headlines, in that incredibly hectic month before Miss Mega's Music Museum Concerts
