00:00This is Ramon Madsaysaya Awardings.
00:03From Singapore, Tommy Kong.
00:11From Bangladesh, Luna Khan.
00:21From Myanmar, Bo Chi.
00:30These are the 2026 Ramon Madsaysaya Awardings.
00:35We invite everyone across Asia and beyond to join us in celebrating their remarkable spirit
00:42and the work they continue to do in service of others.
00:49Be part of their stories through their individual lectures
00:52and learn more about how their work is creating meaningful change in their communities.
00:58And mark your calendars for the 68th Ramon Madsaysaya Awards Presentation Ceremony on November 15, 2026.
01:09As we celebrate these remarkable lives, we are reminded that there will always be new horizons to reach,
01:16new possibilities to imagine, and new challenges that call us to act.
01:22But perhaps, our greatest responsibility lies closer to home,
01:27in the world we create with one and for one another.
01:30In the stories of this year's Ramon Madsaysaya Awardings, remind us that every horizon is an invitation to go further,
01:39not only for ourselves, but those who journey with us.
01:42For ultimately, the measure of where we go is not simply how far we reach, but the kind of world
01:49we build along the way.
01:51Thank you for joining us today.
01:59Thank you. Thank you very much.
02:02It's with profound humility and happiness that I accept the 68th Ramon Madsaysaya Award, 2026.
02:11But I received it on behalf of the unaddressed communities, my friendship family, and all those who have walked beside
02:21me on this journey for 25 wrong years with just faith.
02:26And my deepest gratitude to the Ramon Madsaysaya Foundation for honoring humanity's dignity,
02:35which I have strived towards working with day after day after day.
02:47Let's give her a round of applause.
02:53And of course, the second person that we would like to honor today is Bo Chi from Myanmar.
02:59Hello, Bo Chi.
03:08It is a great honor to receive this precious award, which carries forward the literacy of Ramon Madsaysaya, a leader
03:19of integrity and courage.
03:21And faith is separate with me as we continue to walk towards the greater future of the people of Obama.
03:30I dedicated this award to the public speaker fighting injustice, especially political prisoners who continue to stand strong behind us.
03:40If we continue to walk together in solidarity to secure the relief of all political prisoners, including Don San Suu
03:50Kyi.
03:51I believe we can be the bomb that brings peace, prosperity, and stability to its people and the region.
04:01Thank you very much for selecting me as one of the awardees.
04:06I am very excited to see all of you in person.
04:10Thank you very much.
04:11Thank you very much.
04:40Thank you very much.
