In a powerful celebration of talent, resilience, and global excellence, 71 exceptional Filipinos were recognized during the Filipino Times Watchlist Awards 2025 held in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, also honoring professionals in Bahrain. These awardees—meticulously chosen from nearly 800 nominees—represent the best of the Filipino diaspora, excelling in engineering, healthcare, architecture, education, and community leadership.

These trailblazing professionals are not just building careers abroad; they are uplifting the Filipino name across borders through service, integrity, and innovation. Their stories mirror the undying spirit of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who continue to shine in their respective industries, proving that excellence knows no geography.

Organized by The Filipino Times, the award ceremony stands as one of the most prestigious platforms recognizing Pinoy brilliance in the Middle East. The winners serve as inspirational role models, especially for the younger generation aspiring to make a mark globally.

This event didn’t just recognize professional milestones—it highlighted how OFWs contribute to nation-building from afar, bridging cultures while preserving their Filipino identity. As the world continues to change, these 71 honorees remind us of the power of purpose and perseverance.
