ABOUT:
A man without roots is a man without a face. For one's roots to one's motherland are a precious source of nourishment for one's existence, identity and purpose. The Global Bayaning Pilipino Awards in Asia Pacific was organized to give patriotism - and the spirit of bayanihan - a face. To honor Filipinos residing in Singapore, Japan and Guam with Filipino ancestry who continue to remember their roots through selfless public service for their less-fortunate Filipino brothers and sisters.
A friendship between Don Geny Lopez and Fr. Tanalega, S.J. became the bridge where the ideas of seeking out and honoring the unsung Filipino patriots crossed. Finally, in 1995, the award-giving organization was formed; and is now sustained by the UGAT Foundation - an apostolate of volunteers working for the welfare of the poor.
This year, the criterion for the award will be much broader in scope. It will focus on individuals that have contributed significantly to the well-being of the Filipino community globally.
Given annually, the prestigious award carries with it a message of deep gratitude from the Filipino people: "We will always remember, as you have remembered."
FAQs:
1. What is the Gawad Geny Lopez Jr. Global Bayaning Pilipino Awards?
The Gawad Geny Lopez Jr. Global Bayaning Pilipino Awards is the continuation of last year’s search of the same nature. By “global”, it means it will screen qualified nominees for the award in Asia-Pacific (covering Japan ).
The award was previously named Gawad Geny Lopez Jr. Bayaning Pilipino, after the late Don Eugenio “Geny” Lopez Jr., founder of ABS-CBN Corporation and known in the industry as the “Father of Philippine Broadcasting.” In 1994, he learned that a Filipino maid in Hong Kong sacrificed her life, getting hit by a car in pursuit of saving a child. He then partnered with Ugnayan at Tulong Para Sa Maralitang Pamilya (UGAT) Foundation under Fr. Nilo Tanalega, SJ to establish the award. The objective is to honor acts of heroism - ordinary Filipinos doing extraordinary service to their fellow Filipinos. The Gawad Geny Lopez Jr. Global Bayaning Pilipino Awards will recognize Filipino individuals.
