The presentation ceremonies for the 64th Ramon Magsaysay Awards was held at the Ramon Magsaysay Center in Manila on November 30.
Four transformative leaders from different parts of Asia were conferred this year’s Ramon Magsaysay Award, known as Asia’s ‘Nobel Prize’ for their contributions toward humanitarian and environmental advocacies.
“This year’s Ramon Magsaysay Awards represents the best of humanity as epitomized by the 2022 Ramon Magsaysay Awardees,” said Aurelio R Montinola III, Chairperson of the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation (RMAF).
The four recipients, Gary Bencheghib from Indonesia, Sotheara Chhim from Cambodia, Tadashi Hattori from Japan, and Bernadette J Madrid from the Philippines, personally received their Awards at a ceremony held at the Ramon Magsaysay Center.
This year, we are holding our first hybrid event as pandemic constraints have somewhat eased,” said RMAF president Susanna Afan.
The 64th Ramon Magsaysay Awards was live-streamed on the Ramon Magsaysay Award’s official Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
