Held in solidarity with the 125th Anniversary of Philippine Independence and Nationhood 2023-2026, the commemorative event also recognized the partners and benefactors of Project Saysay in the past 10 years which include the Mama Sita Foundation. With this, the Foundation received humble recognition for being a consistent partner of Project Saysay. Likewise, Mama Sita Foundation was the event’s main sponsor by sponsoring cocktails and tokens for the honorees, select individuals, and institutions for the recognition. Thus, spreading Filipino heritage and flavors during the 10th Anniversary of Project Saysay at Pasasalamat is a showcase of Mama Sita's artisanal products offering a taste of tradition and culinary excellence. Also set up at the venue was the all-natural Mama Sita's vinegar in line with the advocacy of the Mama Sita Foundation in helping our coconut farmers. Project Saysay names new 10 honorees Highlighting the 10th Anniversary at Pasasalamat was the unveiling of the 10 new Project Saysay portraits and their prototype poster designs featuring the following honorees: Chief Justice Jose Abad Santos, World War II martyr from the City of San Fernando, Pampanga; Jaime de Veyra, champion of Philippine studies and languages from Tanauan, Leyte; National Scientist Fe del Mundo, champion of public health and children's rights from Manila; Jose Petronio Katigbak, nationalist from Lipa, Batangas; and Tarhata Kiram, champion of Mindanao identity from Jolo, Sulu.

It has also generated sensible and accurate online materials that are shareable and attuned to the needs of time and has created platforms to express creativity and academic exchanges related to history and culture. Spearheading the momentous event were Congressman Christopher Vera Perez de Venecia and Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte.
