Among the celebrities present at the MOA signing were Dingdong Dantes, YesPinoy Foundation Chairman, and Benjamin Alves, this year's lead advocate. During the event, Ben shared that he has always wanted an outlet in which he can utilize his college degree together with his showbiz influence.  For him, being the lead advocate for GNEA is the perfect opportunity to do so.

Part of his duties as GNEA ambassador include visiting campuses and meeting possible candidates for the Award -- duties that Ben is keen on performing as shown in a presentation during the event.
