Hard work, perseverance, sacrifice, continuous learning, passion, love for work and a firm resolve to abide by what is true and what is right—these are the characteristics seen in the men and women behind The Manila Times, the oldest newspaper in the Philippines, which made it the unanimous choice as “Most Outstanding Publication in the Field of Credibility and Integrity” by the California-based Gawad Amerika Foundation.

Present to accept the recognition at a glitzy awards ceremony at the Celebrity Center of Hollywood in early December was no less than The Manila Times Chairman Emeritus Dr. Dante Arevalo Ang.
Founded by community leader Charles Simbulan, who sits as Chairman of the Board, Gawad Amerika started in 1996 as a civic organization with the primary purpose to help and cultivate the skills of Filipino-American achievers who lack the necessary resources to follow their dreams. It has since expanded to recognize the contribution of Filipinos around the world in various fields.
