Monday, July 29, 2013
PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino III conferred on
Monday the Order of the Golden Heart with the
rank of Grand Cross (Maringal na Krus) on
former Ambassador of Japan to the Philippines
Tsuneo Tanaka for his role in establishing
numerous health, education and livelihood
projects for Filipinos during a simple ceremony
in Malacanang.
The Chief Executive awarded the Order of the
Golden Heart on Tanaka in a simple ceremony at
the Music Room of Malacanang Palace.
The President cited the former Ambassador for
"playing a vital role in establishing numerous
health, education and livelihood projects
throughout the country in service of the Filipino
masses with the guiding principle that the
underprivileged can learn to make a living with
pride."
"Tanaka was also recognized for promoting and
fostering a culture of service-oriented volunteer
work for Japanese nationals in the Philippines
through the Global Voluntary Service of which he
serves as Senior Adviser," the President said.
Tanaka was likewise cited for actively
encouraging activities to provide financial and
monetary assistance for programs that have
helped improve the living standards and
economic conditions of Filipinos.
The Order of the Golden Heart was established
in 1954 by the late President Ramon Magsaysay
to recognize individuals who had rendered
distinguished services or material aid to improve
the condition of the masses.
Joining the President during the conferment
ceremony are Foreign Affairs Undersecretary
Rafael Seguis, Japanese Ambassador to the
Philippines Toshinao Urabe, Director Kiyoshi
Takiuchi of the Japan Information Center,
Embassy of Japan, and Presidential sister Ballsy
Aquino-Cruz among others. (SDR/Sunnex)
