The search for Outstanding Manileños is an annual undertaking of the city government which seeks to give recognition to men and women whose achievements in their chosen profession or vocation have contributed extraordinarily and invaluably to the development of Manila.
Nominations for outstanding Manileños may be made by any person, group or organization for any of the following categories: Business and Industry; Education, Journalism; Law; Public/Government Service; Science and Technology; Historical/Cultural Advocacy; Humanitarian Service; Sports Advocacy/Leadership; Arts and Culture; Broadcast Leadership; Civic Responsibility; Movie and Television Arts; Spiritual Leadership; Finance/Entrepreneurial Leadership; Statesmanship/Diplomacy; Engineering/Construction; Medicine; and other fields.
Those chosen by the screening committee as this year’s Outstanding Manileños have to be personally present to accept their awards during the awarding ceremony. Failure to appear in person would mean forfeiture of their award. The deadline for submission of nominations is on May 15, 2002.
