We have always faced life's challenges with optimism, faith, and a can-do attitude—and we believe that this should be recognized and encouraged at all times. We have been celebrating this culture of happiness and resilience through the Search for the Happiest Pinoy since 2009," said PJ Lhuillier Group of Companies President and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier.
Early this year, Gallup Poll released the results of their 41st Annual Global End of the Year Survey with the Philippines taking the third spot among the happiest countries in the world. The survey revealed that Filipinos exude a positive outlook in life in spite of economic uncertainties and financial upheavals.

Cebuana Lhuillier and a panel of judges representing the academe, the business community, as well as, past Happiest Pinoy winners will pick a finalist from each category. The new Happiest Pinoy will be selected from the roster of 10 category winners.

1. What is the Search for the Happiest Pinoy? The Philippines has endured a total of 274 calamities over the past two decades, making it the fourth most disaster-prone country in the world.
Despite these catastrophic events, the Filipinos remain one of the most resilient and optimistic people in the world, ranking third happiest country according to a 2018 global survey by US-based firm Gallup International. The Philippines previously ranked 14th in the list of happiest places in the world by Happy Planet Index in 2009.
Launched in 2009, the Search for the Happiest Pinoy is a nationwide campaign of Cebuana Lhuillier that aims to rekindle the values of optimism, resilience, and hope in Filipinos amidst different life crises.
As the leading and largest microfinancial services provider, Cebuana Lhuillier hopes to highlight the positive things that come with obtaining quality and affordable microfinancial security which is peace of mind and ultimately, happiness. The Search for the Happiest Pinoy aims to find a Filipino who has:
1. Positive outlook in life
2. Proven ability to rise above life's challenges
3. Positive impact in the lives of others
Since its launch, the Search has gathered over 290,000 nominations from all over the country and has since awarded the coveted title to three deserving individuals. Winston Maxino, a corporate executive who was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, a degenerative and incurable bone disease, was declared the first Happiest Pinoy grand winner in 2010.
Rommel Arellano, a guidance counselor who was afflicted with polio at age one, was declared Happiest Pinoy in 2012, besting more than 13,000 nominees nationwide.
Richardson Navor, a college professor and financial analyst in one of the country's top accounting firms born with cerebral palsy. Navor bested over 280,000 nominations-the highest in the campaign's three-year history.
The Search has since been broadcasted and recognized in various print, radio, W, and online publications. To widen its reach, a series of roadshows were rolled out in key cities in the country, including Baguio, Cebu, and Davao, encouraging more people to share their story, ultimately spreading the "happydemic."
Because of the campaign's unique and relevant advocacy, various award-giving bodies both local and international have recognized and honored the Search for the Happiest Pinoy including the Philippine Quill Award, Anvil Awards, UA&P's Tambuli Award, and the Stevie International Business Award.
This year, the campaign will be more exciting with the introduction of 10 new categories to enable various sectors in the society to be represented in the Search.
