RENE SAGUISAG

LAST Tuesday, I got an email from lawyer-friend Jojo Liangco, from San Francisco: “Just want to share this with you, . . . [Wife] Noime will get the Global Peace Prize (in Thailand this August) at Dangal ng Bayan Award [here], on March 17 dahil sa kanyang gawain at adbokasiya sa larangan ng agri-tourism, natural and sustainable agriculture, at community development sa probinsiya ng Isabela. Ang parangal ay kaloob ng Asia-Pacific Awards Council sa pamumuno ni Dr. Jonathan `Jake’ Navea.”
