THE Award for Promoting Philippines-China Understanding (APPCU) pays special tribute to Filipinos who have made efforts through time to strengthen friendly ties and promote mutual understanding between the Philippines and China using their respective advocacies and expertise in the various fields and disciplines of mass media and public service; trade and commerce; and arts, culture and the sciences.
APPCU recognizes all efforts
made by April Marie Dayap, not
only in serving as an instrument
for the strengthening of the
sisterhood cities pact between
China and Davao but, more
importantly, in facilitating a
renewed view and appreciation
of the Chinese people among
fellow Filipinos; and such
openness to work in partnership
with the Chinese is a key to the
progress and development of
Davao City and the Philippines
in its entirety.
