Malilong: The Davide patriarch must be smiling

HILARIO Davide Sr. and Josefa Gelbolingo had seven children. All of them became professionals; two won the Ramon Magsaysay Awards. To give the reader an idea of how prestigious the award is, let me quote the Manila Bulletin editorial on August 30:

The Ramon Magsaysay Award, established in 1957 by the Philippine Government and Rockefeller Brothers Fund of New York, United States of America to perpetuate the memory and legacy of President Magsaysay, is given annually to persons or organizations in Asia who manifest the same sense of selfless service that ruled the life of the beloved Filipino leader.

“The RMAF awards Asian organizations and individuals, regardless of race, for achieving excellence in their respective fields, addressing issues of human development in Asia, and contributing to transforming societies for the better.”

The awards are given in six categories: Government Service, Public Service, Community Leadership, Journalism, Literature and Creative Communication Arts, Peace and International Understanding, and Emergent Leadership.”

The Bulletin revealed that the RMAF has recognized 18 organizations and 270 individuals since 1957. At least three of these individual awardees are Cebuanos. Two of them are children of Hilario Sr. and Josefa.

Dr. Romulo Davide, who is referred to by colleagues in science and the academe as the “Father of Plant Nematology,” received his award the other night at the Philippine International Convention Center from President Aquino, ten years after his youngest brother, former chief justice Hilario Jr. got his own recognition in the field of Public Service. (The other Cebuano awardee, lawyer Tony Oposa, was honored for his advocacy on the environment in 2009.)

To have a member of the family bestowed the Asian equivalent of the Nobel peace prize is already a great honor. But two? The Davide patriarch, who died at the age of 101 a few years ago, must be beaming with pride from up there. That’s the most that he would have done if he were alive. That is why you have not seen the Davides buy tens of newspaper pages for self-congratulatory advertisements.

Humility comes naturally with them. That’s the way they’ve been raised.
