Raman Megasaysay Awards

The   Raman Megasaysay Award  is an annual award established to perpetuate former Philippine President Raman magasaysay’s example of integrity in government, courageous service to the people, and pragmatic idealism within a democratic society. The Ramon Magsaysay Award is often considered Asia's Nobel Prize. The prize was established in April 1957 by the trustees of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund based in New York City with the concurrence of the Philippine government.
Every year the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation grants the prize to Asian individuals and organizations for achieving excellence in their respective fields. The awards are given in six categories:
  • Government Service
  • Public Service
  • Community Leadership
  • Journalism, Literature and Creative Communication Arts
  • Peace and International Understanding
  • Emergent Leadership
In May 1957, seven prominent Filipinos were named to the founding board of trustees of the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation, the non-profit corporation tasked with implementing the awards program
