PNP Chief Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa Awarded with Gusi Peace Prize

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Not too many individuals get to be honorably acknowledged on their accomplishments. With so many of us either competing, aiming and wanting to get recognition, not everyone would become equally as successful as the rest of us. We have to admit that somehow "luck" has something to do with it. Being at the right place, at the right time, or knowing the right people, can take us to greater heights more conveniently.

PNP Chief Ronald Bato Dela Rosa was recently awarded with the Gusi Peace Prize during the awards night held on November 23, 2016 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).

This man is surprisingly so popular nowadays that it is quite overwhelming to find out he is one of the awardees among many international delegates. There was a total of 14 individuals that received the valued Guzi Peace Prize, of which was received in the past years by the likes of Noar Aunor, Lea Salonga and other Pinoy celebrities. Known popularly as Bato or the Rock or Stone, the PNP Chief projects toughness while being a bit wacky at times especially during the early days as PNP Chief since the administration of Rodrigo Duterte appointed him into position.

There was even a mascot and doll resembling his image, and I've seen him get invited to beauty pageant finals like the Miss Earth 2016 as one of the judges, and too bad I missed his much-awaited press conference at Kamuning Bakery.

Below are some more information we got from their official Facebook page about the Gusi Peace Prize:

The Gusi Peace Prize is a charitable foundation, an institution based in Manila, Philippines, registered at the Security and Exchange Commission, whose main objective is to give proper recognition through the conferment of awards of excellence and distinction to individuals or groups worldwide who have distinguished themselves as brilliant exemplars of society or who contributed toward the attainment of peace and respect for human life and dignity.

The Gusi Peace Prize traces its roots through the efforts of Capt. Gemeniano Javier Gusi, a World War II guerilla who fought against Japanese oppression, turned politician, and became popular for his fight for human rights. He was being supported in his endeavor by his loving wife, Madame Teodora Sotejo Gusi, who performed various charity works, helping mothers and abused children and wives, the sick and the unemployed, the poor, deprived and humiliated individuals in society throughout the Philippines. A few years before Madame Teodora Sotejo Gusi expired, she knew that their son, The Honourable Barry Gusi, a renowned internationalist, would be the right one to take over what her husband had started, thereby creating the Gusi Peace Prize Foundation where Manila, Philippines is the home.

The Gusi Peace Prize with the presidential proclamation 1476, it is a national and international institution, the pride of the Philippines hails from the far east and known as Asia's foremost awards giving body. And was established through the support of the friends of the Gusi family, who share the same mission and vision.

This foundation aims to give honor and awards to distinguished individuals or groups worldwide with exemplary contributions to peace and human rights, in scientific discoveries, politics, academe, performing arts, literature, medicine or physiology, journalism, humanities, physics, chemistry, religion, business and philanthropy, economics, internationalism and others.

The mission of the Gusi Peace Prize is to champion human rights and maintain governance, democracy, equality, international peace and goodwill. Likewise, the Gusi Peace Prize is working for people’s amelioration for several years through medical missions, outreach programs, and counseling to the deprived, abused, the humiliated and the sick, with considerable assistance from the Philippine Medical Association, Philippine Charity Sweepstakes, and other nongovernment organizations.

As the Gusi Peace Prize goes on, it continues to give charity within the entire country and will continue to work for the good of the people. Indeed the Gusi Peace Prize brings economic and tourism industry in the country. The Gusi Peace Prize has become one of the foremost peace prize in Asia and the whole world.

Today, the Gusi Peace Prize envisions itself to approximate the honor and respect accorded to the Nobel Peace Prize of Norway, and the Pulitzer of the United States of America. The Gusi Peace Prize will continue to recognize, honor and give pride and dignity to every deserving achiever and peacemaker worldwide.
