Exhibition Galleries At 28, he became the youngest commissioner of a government agency in the Philippines, and he saved school meals for millions. Now he's preparing more than 25 million kids for the future. I'm a health professional. Assistant Secretary for Strategic Management at the Philippine Department of Education. I have an MBA, I have an MPM, and right now I work in education. One of his first fights? Keeping kids fed. The school-based feeding program, meals for undernourished kids, kindergarten through sixth grade, was at risk drastically cut. We were able to give kids enriched, nutrient-dense food, grown and prepared in their own towns. And that alone is enough to bring kids into school as 15km, all for that one meal. This made the kids healthier, more energetic, more able to focus, and more able to participate in class. Now he's thinking bigger. He's leading a nationwide AI program, integrating artificial intelligence into K-12 education across the Philippines. This is not just a social program, this is an investment in the future, you're not just feeding kids, you're feeding hope.

When millions of Filipino school children faced food insecurity, Dr. Dexter Galban, a 2024-2025 Obama Foundation Asia-Pacific Leader, drew on the skills he developed through Obama Foundation coaching to help bring together government colleagues, legislators, development partners, and communities to strengthen the school feeding program. The joint effort helped expand the program, keeping kids healthy and amplifying opportunities for farmers and food producers. It is a reminder that meaningful change in government is made possible through collaboration, persistence, and shared purpose.
