Ramon Magsaysay Awardees 2013 announced
Ramon Magsaysay Awardees 2013 announced
Afghanistan’s
first and only female Governor Habiba Sarabi among this year’s recipients of
the Ramon Magsaysay award.
The Board of Trustees of the Ramon
Magsaysay Award Foundation (RMAF) on today (24 July 2013) announced that this
year three individuals and two organizations from Afghanistan, Indonesia,
Myanmar, Nepal and the Philippines will receive Asia’s premier prize, the Ramon
Magsaysay Award.
Established in 1957, the Ramon Magsaysay
Award is Asia’s highest honor and is widely regarded as the region’s equivalent
of the Nobel Prize. It celebrates the
memory and leadership example of the third Philippine president, and is given
every year to individuals or organizations in Asia who manifest the same sense
of selfless service that ruled the life of the late and beloved Filipino
leader.
This year’s Awardees are:
Ernesto Domingo, from the
Philippines: He is being recognized for
“his exemplary embrace of the social mission of medical science and his
profession, his steadfast leadership in pursuing ‘health for all’ as a shared
moral responsibility of all sectors, and his groundbreaking and successful
advocacy for neonatal hepatitis vaccination, thereby saving millions of lives
in the Philippines.”
Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi
(Corruption Eradication Commission), from Indonesia: The organization is being recognized for “its
fiercely independent and successful campaign against corruption in Indonesia,
combining the uncompromising prosecution of erring powerful officials with
farsighted reforms in governance systems and the educative promotion of
vigilance, honesty, and active citizenship among all Indonesians.”
Lahpai Seng Raw, from Myanmar:
She is being recognized for “her quietly inspiring and inclusive leadership—in
the midst of deep ethnic divides and prolonged armed conflict—to regenerate and
empower damaged communities and to strengthen local NGOs in promoting a
non-violent culture of participation and dialogue as the foundation for
Myanmar’s peaceful future.”
Habiba Sarabi, from
Afghanistan: She is being
recognized for “her bold exercise of leadership to build up a functioning
provincial government against great odds—intractable political adversities, a
harsh and impoverished environment, and pervasive cultural
discrimination—serving her people with a hopeful persistence grounded in her
abiding commitment to peace and development in Afghanistan”
Shakti Samuha (“Power
Group”), from Nepal:
The organization’s founders and members are being recognized for
“transforming their lives in service to other human trafficking survivors,
their passionate dedication towards rooting out a pernicious social evil in
Nepal, and the radiant example they have shown the world in reclaiming the
human dignity that is the birthright of all abused women and children
everywhere.”
“The Magsaysay awardees of 2013,” says RMAF
President Carmencita Abella, “are three remarkable individuals and two amazing
organizations, all deeply involved in creating
sustainable solutions to seemingly intransigent social problems in their
respective societies, problems which are most damaging to the lives of those
trapped in poverty or ignorance. These
problems are manifest in seemingly very diverse and disparate issues--prolonged
armed conflict, preventable disease and death, human trafficking and
exploitation, corruption with impunity,
weak governance and political instability--yet each of this year’s awardees is showing us that there are ways to
build genuine success, one smart and persistent step at a time. Working selflessly in unpretentious yet
powerful ways, they are showing us how commitment, competence and collaborative
leadership can truly create ripples of change, even from the bottom of the
pyramid.
“While their solutions are distinctively
their own, there is one thing these Magsaysay laureates share: a greatness of spirit that infuses their leadership
for change. Working with others, they
all single-mindedly apply their skills and energies to their passion for
improving the lives of others. They all
refuse to give up, despite daunting adversity and opposition. They are all
deeply rooted in hope. We have much to learn from them, and much to celebrate
about their greatness of spirit.”
The five 2013 Magsaysay
awardees join the community of 296 other Magsaysay laureates who have received
Asia’s highest honor to date. This
year’s Magsaysay Award winners will each receive a certificate, a medallion
bearing the likeness of the late President, and a cash prize. They will be formally conferred the Magsaysay
Award during formal Presentation Ceremonies to be held on Saturday, 31 August
2013 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

India finished fourth in the Archery World Cup Stage 3; Indian women win recurve team gold
India finished fourth in the Archery World Cup Stage 3; Indian
women win recurve team gold
Powered by Deepika Kumari’s gold and bronze
medal performances on the concluding day, India finished fourth in the Archery
World Cup Stage 3 in Medellin, Colombia.
Deepika shot four perfect 10s in windy
conditions to lead India to a 201-186 thrashing of China for the team gold
medal on Sunday. Later, Deepika paired up with Atanu Das to win the mixed team
bronze with an 18-point margin (150-132) against the Mexicans.
Top-seeded China had a disastrous first end
with Ming missing the target completely and failing to register a score while
Jing and Yuanyuan came up with 6 and 5.
The other two Indian members Rimil Buriuly
and Bombayla Devi managed 11 between them while Deepika had an 8 to open up a
massive 46-33 lead after the first end. It was too late for China to stage a
recovery, as India extended their lead to 147-134 before the last six arrows.
The Chinese trio tried hard but it was
difficult to hit the perfect 10s in windy conditions as Deepika showed class to
ensure the gold by a handsome 15-point margin.
Ambassador ranked the world's best taxi
Ambassador ranked the world's best taxi
It may have lost out to the more modern
competitors from Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Toyota and Honda but the good old
Ambassador car, which once ruled the roost in India, has just been voted as the
world's best taxi by global automotive programme Top Gear.
In a show, which is being aired on the BBC,
Top Gear's executive director Richard Hammond organised a world taxi shootout
in which Ambassador emerged a winner, beating competitors from all over the
globe.
"The winner was India's virtually
indestructible Hindustan Ambassador," UK-based motor museum Beaulieu,
where the 'World of Top Gear' featuring vehicles from some of the most
ambitious challenges are also showcased, said in a statement.
This particular example proved just how
enduring the Ambassador really is when it saw off rivals from Britain, America,
Germany, South Africa, Mexico and Russia to be named the world's best taxi, it
added.
The Hindustan Ambassador started life in
Britain as the Morris Oxford but, with a quick name change, it went on to
become one of India's most enduring vehicles.
"It's (Ambassador) so tough that,
although it now lives in World of Top Gear, with a quick wash and brush up, it
could be back in service tomorrow - probably," the statement said.
In 1948, CK Birla Group firm
Hindustan Motors Ltd began the production of the Ambassador at Uttarpara in
Hooghly district, West Bengal. Till the arrival of the Maruti in the early 80s,
the Ambassador was the status symbol in India.
Gradually it lost out to various global
competitors when it came to personal usage but continued to be the favourite
vehicle for government officials and also in the taxi segment.
In the recent past, its sales in both the
segments have shown a decline and in 2012-13, the Ambassador sold a total of
just 3,390 units. This fiscal, it has sold only 709 units in the April-June period.
