NAGA CITY, June 24 (PIA) -- The city government of Naga has spearheaded Tuesday the awarding of the prestigious Mayoral awards to deserving Nagueños at the Avenue Plaza Hotel here.
The award recognizes legacy of good governance, exemplifying good deeds, upholding moral integrity, and raising the bar of public service,
The Juan Q. Miranda award, the highest Mayoral awards formerly referred to as the Mayoral Distinguished Service Award was bestowed to Hon. Ramon Hidalgo Felipe, Jr. Elected as City Mayor of Naga in 1963, Felipe pushed for reforms that eventually contributed to the growth of the city. The dark streets of Naga then which became every criminal’s perfect spot were illuminated when he introduced mercury vapor lamps.
Felipe was instrumental to the construction of the Naga City Public Market when he started building the edifice during his term as the city’s Chief Executive. It has risen and became the biggest Supermarket in Asia after it was completed. It is now called the Naga City People’s Mall.
Felipe also pushed for Naga’s Cityhood in 1948.
The 2nd highest award, the Leon Sa.Aureus Awards was given to four (4) recipients who have excelled in their respective areas of endeavors, namely: Business, Education, Business and Culture and for Community Service.
Under the Business Category, Jeremie Janssen S. Lo, referred to as Businessman for Others, received the Leon Sa. Aureus Award for his significant contribution to the upliftment of the socio-economic status of farmers and the poor, and in general, by introducing ground-breaking practices in agriculture and by undertaking diverse social activities as benefactor and leader of various non-government organizations. He is the present Regional Governor for Bicol of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
This year’s 2013 Leon SA Aureus Awardee for Education is Rev. Fr. Stanislaus Chin who established and founded the Saint Joseph School in 1960. It is now considered as one of the best sectarian educational institutions in Naga and in the Bicol Region.
Fr. Chin, or Fr. Kim to those who are close to him, is a Chinese priest who sought refuge in the Philippines as a result of the ruthless prosecution of Catholics in mainland China. He pursued the evangelization of other Chinese refugees in the Bicol Region.
The New China Restaurant, dubbed as the Bastion of Naga’s History & Economy, was this year’s Leon Sa Aureus Awardee under the Business and culture category. Founden in 1943 by Wong Yee, it was home to puto lanzon, traditionally-made coffee and rice noodles. Even with the advent of big and modern restaurants, New China Restaurant remained unaffected. It is now recognized nationally as one of the historic landmarks of the city, especially of Centro Naga, contributing to the ich history of Naga.
The Rotary Club of Naga was also cited as one of the awardees under the Community Service category and dubbed as Volunteers of Peace and Goodwill. This volunteer organization of business, professional and community leaders has been consistently organizing activities that promote human dignity and continues to aggressively campaign for the eradication of poverty in Bicol.
Other awardees are: Mr. Daniel Philip V. Dy, the lone recipient of the Jesse M. Robredo Youth Award; Ma. Christine I. Bernarte, Dr. Christine Marie N. Chia, Lance Christopher P. Lelis and Shaira Gabrielle Guevarra, recipients of Mayoral recognition. (LSMacatangay/ PIA-Camarines Sur)
