In this photograph taken by AP Images for CNN Heroes, Filipino teacher Efren Peñaflorida answers questions from media in front of his "street classroom pushcart" during a CNN Heroes campaign rally held at Mall of Asia, Pasay City, Philippines on 09 November 2009. Through his pushcart filled with schoolbooks and helping spread literacy to poor Filipino children, Peñaflorida was chosen to be one of the 10 CNN Heroes of the Year, where the winner will be decided by online voting which ends 19 November.
