Retired general bags Peace Awards

From the Manila Standard Today (Mar 31): Retired general bags Peace Awards

Ret. Brig. General Manuel Mariano and wife Mrs. Lolit Mariano, bagged one of the most prestigious special awards, “Integrity In Action” in the Peace  Awards held recently at the Manila Hotel. General Mariano is  known to be an advocate of reforms. He cleansed the AFP LogCom and got rid of   scalawags and grafters  in the command, sharing a common vision and devoted to the idea that this nation very badly needs a strong- willed, dedicated and enlightened leadership.

He co-authored the book, “The Power of Reform”, detailing the culture of corruption in the AFP LogCom and how he cleansed it almost single handedly and reaped the fruits of the Reform Program and thereby benefitted the recipients for the AFP, PNP, the out-of-school youths and its various outreach program.

The PEACE AWARDS for “Integrity in Action”, was bestowed on   Mariano as a deserving individual in his field of expertise that contributes to honesty, integrity and peace. Together with his wife, Lolit Mariano, they are known for their continuing advocacy pursuits for humanitarian and religious communities.

The Integrity Circles Movement, nominated the couple for the  award which was long overdue as they remained bloodied but unbowed in their joint efforts to fight corruption.

The PEACE AWARDS was indeed, a recognition of unsung and unheralded new heroes who, by purity of intensions just do what is beneficial to our communities and country. It was attended by dignitaries, heads of state, foreign and local media from the print, Radio, TV and Social Media practitioners during the First Asian Summit held recently at the historic Manila Hotel.
