The Awards Guru strikes back.
On November 29, 2024 at the Music Museum, promoter and publisher Richard Hinola will again bestow honors to Filipino achievers in various fields.
"It is my duty to recognize Filipino men and women who have contributed a lot in the development of their respective fields of endeavor," said Richard in a recent exclusive interview.
At the moment, award-giving bodies in the Philippines of diverse natures and persuasions are too many.
In Hinola's stead alone, he has three or more awards being given annually, among them, Outstanding Men and Women of the Philippines, Outstanding Youth of the Philippines and Philippine Pageantry Excellence Awards.
Asked how his awards would differ from other bodies of the same nature that are also giving recognitions to individual recipients, pre-announced or on-the-spot, Richard hastily replied: "What sets me apart from other award-giving bodies is my socio-civic objectives. My awards aim to enlighten the public about the pertinence of awards. As a result of my awarding, my sponsors and I help the marginalized and the indigents. We go as far as the Visayas to aid in the hospitalization of sick people."
On the 8th Outstanding Men and Women of the Philippines 2025, public servants, specifically councilors of Local Government Units (LGUs) of Quezon City like Aiko Melendez, Alfred Vargas, Irene Belmonte and Candy Medina and other outstanding luminaries will be conferred with the award.
Meanwhile, on the 2nd Outstanding Youth Award 2025, actor Kokoy de Santos, musical band Cloud 7 and other youngsters will be feted with the honors while on the 2nd Philippine Pageantry Excellence Awards 2025, 2018 Binibining Pilipinas International and 2019 Miss International 1st Runner-Up Ma. Ahtisa Manalo; 2024 Miss Summit International 1st Runner-Up Mary Justinne G. Punsalang; 2024 Miss Cosmo New Zealand Franki Russell and 2023 Miss Earth Air Yllana Marie Aduana, among others will be awarded.
