--That was the tag line of CNN when their search for nominees for the CNN Hero of the Year 2009 began. Clearly however, their eventual Top 10 nominees were not "ordinary" at all. Those ten people were extraordinary people to begin with, and as logic would find it, they were meant to accomplish extraordinary things.
The Pink Tarha Ladies proudly salutes Efren Penaflorida's win as the CNN Hero of the Year 2009. We voted relentlessly online and we truly believe in the cause that he and his volunteers have 'pushcarted' all the way to the best that it could be. It is rejuvenating to hear that a Filipino has been recognized for his service. A service that was not for fortune nor fame. But a service for the sake of service itself; a sincere and significantly life-changing one.

We also congratulate the rest of the Heroes: Brad Blauser, Roy Foster, Doc Hendley, Andrea Ivory, Betty Makoni, Jorge Munoz, Budi Soehardi, Derrick Tabb and Jordan Thomas. Each and every single story of these nine people are remarkable. God bless them all.
Again, Efren, THANK YOU.
