In May 1957, seven prominent Filipinos were named to the
founding board of trustees of the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation, the
non-profit corporation tasked with implementing the awards program. The RMAF
recognizes and honors individuals and organizations in Asia regardless of race,
creed, sex, or nationality, which have achieved distinction in their respective
fields and have helped others generously without anticipating public
recognition.
During the 2000 Magsaysay Awards presentation ceremony, the
Foundation announced the creation of a sixth Award category, Emergent
Leadership. This new Award category was established with the support of a grant
from the Ford Foundation. The Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership
honors "individuals, forty years of age and below, doing outstanding work
on issues of social change in their communities, but whose leadership is not
yet broadly recognized outside of these communities." An award in this
category was given for the first time in 2001.
The awards have traditionally been given in five categories:
government service; public service; community leadership; journalism,
literature, and creative communication arts; and peace and international
understanding.
Government Service-: to recognize outstanding service in the
public interest in any branch of government, including executive, judicial,
legislative, or military.
Public Service-: to recognize outstanding service for the public
good by a private citizen.
Community Leadership-: to recognize leadership of a
community toward helping the disadvantaged have fuller opportunities and a
better life.
Journalism, Literature, and Creative Communication Arts-: to
recognize effective writing, publishing, or photography or the use of radio,
television, cinema, or the performing arts as a power for the public good.
Peace and International Understanding-: to recognize
contributions to the advancement of friendship, tolerance, peace, and
solidarity as the foundations for sustainable development within and across
countries.
Emergent Leadership-: to recognize an individual- forty
years of age or younger, for outstanding work on issues of social change in his
or her community, but whose leadership may not yet be broadly recognized
outside of this community.
