While the government did not specify when Ramon Magsaysay would be conferred with the country’s highest honour, the President recently revealed that it would be bestowed on the foreign investor, who has committed large scale investments and is actively involved in social and educational reforms.
While the government did not specify when Ramon Magsaysay would be conferred with the country’s highest honour, the President recently revealed that it would be bestowed on the foreign investor, who has committed large scale investments and is actively involved in social and educational reforms.
The Philippines will be conferred the Ramon Magsaysay Award, Philippines’ highest honour, on the investor that will be announced later this week, the foreign policy committee of Magsaysay award organizers, the late President Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation said on Tuesday.
The award, which is given in the name of Magsaysay, will be conferred posthumously on those who meet four criteria established by the foundation.
On May 10, Magsaysay was shot and killed by an unknown attacker who approached the famous presidential vehicle from the back. President Fidel Ramos decided, at the outset of his term to honor Magsaysay with a highest honour that will be bestowed on the investor who will be announced later this week as the recipient of the award.
The Magsaysay award is conferred by the late President Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation, a non-government organization that is headed by former President Fidel V. Ramos, the longest-serving President in the country’s history.
“This is indeed the best way to commemorate his legacy, as this award is indeed a significant honor, a big responsibility for any deserving winner. At the same time, however, this may be an opportunity for the awardees to work together towards his vision,” the late President said in a radio call-in programme in his last year in office.
He said the Magsaysay award would honor individuals who have done outstanding things in their chosen field, whether civic or political, education and social or environmental.
He said the Ramon Magsaysay award committee would recommend someone who has made a significant contribution in their chosen field to be conferred with the Magsaysay award. “We always strive to create an atmosphere where the best work gets recognized.”
President Ramos had said Magsaysay would receive the award at midnight of April 7, 2000, in a ceremony which would be held in the Cultural Center of The Philippines in the presence of a select audience.
He said his father had set aside the date to honor Magsaysay, the former foreign minister who was shot dead in a drive-by shooting on May 10, 1960, when he was returning to Malacañang from his home in Pasig City.
A year of mourning
Ramos said he was looking forward to conferring the highest honor on Magsaysay, the first Filipino President to be killed in the line of duty.
“It could never be an adequate compensation for what had happened, the loss and the pain, for what everyone will go through for the next one year of mourning, but nonetheless, I hope that those who will be given the opportunity will do their best to live up to what Magsaysay taught.”
He said this recognition was the “best way to give him his full tribute on the centenary of his birth, since he was the first Filipino to be awarded with the Magsaysay Award.”
Ramos said many would be shocked when they could see him in the company of awardees, and there might be a tinge of regret that Magsaysay was still alive.
The former President said he did not want any person to feel guilty at the award ceremony. He said Magsaysay was not only a highly-decorated soldier and statesman, but a great father and friend, “in a way, he’s all of these.”
“I want him to rest in peace and I want to give him all the honours that he deserves, but I want to see all the awardees who will be conferred with the Magsaysay award to live up to all he stood for, to live up to all the ideals that he died for,” he said.
Ramos said his father always said the Ramon Magsaysay award, which is the most meaningful award that one can bear, should be a recognition and a tribute to great works, “not merely great individuals.”
He said Magsaysay could be honored through his personal legacy and work, which he would leave behind for future generations. He said the award would give recognition to his father as a great President of the Philippines.
Former President Fidel V. Ramos, the longest-serving President in the country’s history, has conferred the Ramon Magsaysay Award posthumously to foreign investor Magsaysay Fund International, which has committed large-scale investments in key infrastructure projects in the Philippines.
In its presentation of the Ramon Magsaysay Award, which is the highest national honor the Philippines’ can bestow on someone who has done out-of-the-box in any filed of life, the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation has cited Magsaysay Fund International for its “commitment to social and educational reforms.”
“He was awarded this recognition in 1960 for his outstanding achievement by the Magsaysay Award Foundation. He had not only played a significant role in his chosen field of social and economic progress, but also had done several important things for his country. Magsaysay will be formally recognized again. This time, he will be the recipient of the Ramon Magsaysay Award posthumously,” the late President said in his radio call-in programme.
Magsaysay death: No charges filedMagsaysay, the youngest soldier to win the Philippines’ top military medals in World War II, suffered gunshot entry wounds in his chest and head in the late night of May 10 last year.
The 64-year-old war hero was assassinated at the doorway of the presidential vehicle that he was driving back home from his home in Pasig City.
His assassination in broad daylight in Makati City shocked the nation and gave rise to speculation that he may have been the latest murder victim of an all-powerful “political mafia.”
In the aftermath of his death, President Fidel Ramos announced a 10-day period of national mourning for Magsaysay.
The late President also ordered the military to protect the presidential vehicle used in the fateful trip until further notice.
In April 21, 2001, the Department of Justice dismissed the allegations and announced that no one would be charged for the assassination and robbery of Magsaysay.
Magsaysay Fund International has been investing in key infrastructure projects in the Philippines, including the proposed construction of the Metro Manila Skyway that would link Manila and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Magsaysay Fund International Managing Director Dr. Leo Chua, a close aide of Magsaysay who was also shot and killed in the assassination, was one of the two men who shot the famous Presidential Assistant in the back of the head and stole his cash and valuables when Magsaysay was about to exit the armored presidential vehicle.
The shooting was caught on a nearby store’s security camera that was used to buy items for Magsaysay’s wife at the end of Magsaysay’s trip to the Pasig airport for his return to the capital.
The video has been used by various media organizations to bring to light other suspected murder cases in Manila.
Magsaysay Fund International is also said to have provided support to the Philippine government that led to a successful campaign to prevent another secessionist rebellion in the provinces of Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia, for the establishment of the Filipino-run North Borneo province.
A successful campaign that won the Philippine intervention and the defeat of secessionist groups that the Philippine Army had claimed for decades were also cited by the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation as an impressive feat “to which Magsaysay could have been the most proud.”
Magsaysay was also credited for his role in the negotiations that led to the restoration of relations between the Philippines and Indonesia, which lasted for 21 years.
After he was killed, Magsaysay’s widow, Dr. Corazon Aquino led the People Power movement that resulted in the overthrow of President Marcos.
Her term as President of the Philippines from 1985 to 1992 came during the period of the Magsaysay Award that was conferred by the now defunct Magsaysay Prize.
In 1985, the late President Ramos conferred the Magsaysay Award to Magsaysay himself, who represented human rights under the administration of President Corazon Aquino.
In the late 80s, Magsaysay represented the Philippines at the International Peace and Security Council of the United Nations.
Magsaysay Fund International’s CEO, Kalyan Veeramachaneni who will be presented with the Ramon Magsaysay Award, would be the first person to collect the prestigious award given out annually at the Cultural Center of The Philippines in the presence of dignitaries.
