DESPITE having no public office yet, the humanitarian works of councilor aspirant Rene “RamJ” Maglanque Jr. of Candaba town, Pampanga have already been recognized by a private organization.
On Friday, May 6, 2022, the Saludo Excellence Awards announced that Maglanque is among the few volunteer-public servants who will be receiving recognition from the award-giving body.
Maglanque, who has been actively helping his hometown since the start of the pandemic, will be receiving the 2022 Saludo Excellence Awards for Humanitarian and Leadership Service.
Among the community service initiated by Maglanque since the start of the pandemic are the distribution of relief aid to Covid-19 victims, promotion of healthy lifestyle and sports development, assistance to indigent and sickly Candabeños, and lending of construction equipment to barangays.
Maglanque expressed gratitude to Saludo Excellence Awards for recognizing and appreciating his hard work and public service to the people of Candaba.
“Inaalay ko po ang karangalang ito sa lahat ng aking kapwa Candabenyo at maging sa #TeamMalugud na naging katuwang ko po sa lahat ng aking mga plano at adhikain para sa aming mahal na bayan. Salamat po dahil ako ay kinilala nyo na sa Saludo Awards hindi pa man po ako nakakaupo bilang konsehal pero ako po ay nangangako na itutuloy ko po ang lahat ng aking nasimulan at mas magkakaroon pa po ako ng oportunidad tumulong kapag ako ay naupo na,” he said.
He also expressed hope that more Candabeños and Filipinos will be inspired and join the crusade for a more progressive and united community.
The Saludo Excellence Awards, which celebrates Filipino camaraderie and unity, will be holding its awarding ceremony this coming June 25 at the Resorts World Manila.
