By supporting and emulating these models of excellence, we can collectively invigorate the Filipino spirit and push our country toward a brighter future.
On August 20, at The Fifth in Rockwell, we witnessed a celebration of Filipino excellence and a collective dedication to nation building. The 2024 Ramon V. del Rosario Awards honor individuals who have made significant contributions to their industries and communities, reflecting the spirit of innovative management in the Philippines. Their stories serve as important reminders of how deep-rooted Filipino values can bring positive change and shape the country's future.
Ambassador Howard Q. Dee, the recipient of this year's Nation Building award, exemplifies a lifelong dedication to peace and social progress. From his pivotal role in the 2001 Tripoli Agreement to being the co-founder of organizations like ASA Philippines and the Assisi Development Foundation, Ambassador Dee's work is a testament to the transformative power of the Filipino spirit — the unique spirit that drives collective common aspiration for the development of the country.
