Ex-Central Bank governor leads Asna awardees
LINGAYEN -- Seven Pangasinenses who had made a mark and great contribution to humanity will be accorded the greatest reverence by their very own province on April 11 through the Asna Awards.
It will also be the third year celebration of Agew na Pangasinan (Pangasinan Day), which will be on April 5. The activities and celebration, however, were moved to April 11 as April 5 falls on Holy Week.
Highest recognition, the Balitok Award, will be accorded to Hilarion "Larry” Henares of Sta. Barbara town, and lawyer Gabriel Singson of Lingayen.
Henares, a descendant of Don Daniel Maramba (governor of Pangasinan from 1916 to 1922), is an economist, educator, business, and writer, among others, while Singson is a former governor of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
Joining them as awardees are Ermin Garcia Jr. of Dagupan City, a journalist and publisher of Sunday Punch; Jose Datuin of Dagupan City, an international sculptor and artist; Ambassador Amadeo Perez Jr. of Urdaneta City, former mayor of Urdaneta and congressman at the fifth district, now chairman of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office; Dr. Antonio Tamayo of Malasiqui, founder of Perpetual Help College; and retired General Jose Magno of Pozorrubio.
Governor Amado Espino Jr. earlier said "it is only fitting that the province gives the highest expression of recognition to Pangasinenses who unselfishly rendered exemplary service not only to the province but to the country as well."
He said the Asna Awards will inspire others, especially the youth, to emulate the achievements and leadership skills of the awardees and strive hard to succeed in their chosen fields. » Read more...
