Chemical Engineer Awardee of Pamana ng Pilipino Award

In continuation of my interest of identifying what could be the possible award bestowed to a Chemical Engineer, I found this article on Philippine President’s Award. Here’s an excerpt:

The Pamana Ng Pilipino Award, one of the four categories of the Presidential Awards, is “conferred on Filipinos overseas, who, in exemplifying the talent and industry of the Filipino, have brought the country honor and distinction in the pursuit of their work or profession.”

Edith Mijares Ardiente, Vice President Environmental Affairs for International Truck and Engine Corporation of Warrenville, Illinois and 2005 President of the Air and Waste Management Association was given the prestigious Pamana Ng Pilipino (Heritage of the Filipino) Award by Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo at ceremonies held on December 7, 2006 at the President’s Malacanang Palace in Manila, Philippines.

 

In conferring the Pamana Ng Pilipino Award, President Arroyo extolled Ardiente’s “exemplary achievements as an environmental manager who advocates balance between industrial progress and environmental protection and her successful leadership of an international association of environmental professionals, the Air and Waste Management Association.”
