Gang Badoy is a prose writer. She has won civic and leadership awards. Gang is a teacher and she is the youngest member of the Board of Childhope Asia. An international organization on behalf of streetchildren. To date, she has been the youngest speaker at a Ramon Magsaysay Awards forum.

She is best known as the Founder of Rock Ed Philippines.

Aside from Rock Ed, both of them are also involved with the movement called Dakila. Shown in photo taken during last year's Dakila-Rock Ed clean up project in Luneta; Gang has mud in her slipper-clad feet (slippers PhP80) while Lourd is wearing very expensive rubber boots.

Even if this photo was taken by leading fashion photographer Jake Verzosa -- both will never land a spot in Preview Magazine's Ten-Best Dressed List.

Never.
