Antonio Meloto or “Tito Tony” to the countless Gawad Kalinga volunteers and community
partners was born on January 17, 1950 to a low middle class family in Bacolod City, Negros
Occidental. At a young age, he was already exposed to the squalid living conditions of the poor,
his home being near a shoreline squatter community where poverty was already very pronounced.
It was during his assignment as the Country Coordinator for Australia that he felt the powerful call
to start the work with the poor through a youth development program for gang members and
juvenile delinquents in Bagong Silang, Caloocan City. Since it began in 1995, the program has
now evolved to become Gawad Kalinga, a global movement that builds integrated, holistic and
sustainable communities in slum areas. Gawad Kalinga sparks hope in the dream for a poverty free
world – one family, one community and one country at a time. This is Tito Tony’s passion. A true
man for others, he has inspired not just his family but hundreds and thousands of volunteers
throughout the country and the world to work towards building model communities where the poor
can thrive and attain to their fullest potential so that together, we can all look forward to a better
future for our children and the generations to come.

the same story as being a musician, he promotes Filipino movies and donates the money
that he earns to the less fortunate Filipinos.
