I. Nature and Description

The Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP), committed to promote democracy, concern
and respect for human dignity, recognizes the noble and significant contributions of the lay and consecrated
people to education, through the highest award that it confers known as Pro Deo et Patria Award (for God and
Country). CEAP acknowledges the internal and external manifestation of the awardees love for God and
country and his/her faithfulness to Catholic teachings as part of service to God. The awardee must be seen as
a model of Christ the Teacher.

Past recipients of this award are the late Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin, the late President Corazon
C. Aquino (posthumously, 2009) and Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal (Cebu 2010), Fr Anscar R.
Chupungco, OSB (posthumously, Cebu 2013), Fr. Catalino G. Arevalo, SJ (Cebu 2013), Abp. Leonardo Z.
Legaspi (posthumously, Davao 2014), Dr. Lourdes R. Quisumbing ( Manila 2015),
Amb. Henrietta De Villa and Cardinal Rosales (Cebu, 2016). They were chosen by the members of the board
from nominees recommended by member institutions or Regional Councils.

II. The Award

1. The awardee will receive an Icon of Christ the Teacher and a plaque during the Closing Program of the
2017 CEAP National Convention on September 29, 2017 at the SMX Lanang, Davao City. No monetary
award will be given to the awardee.
2. The accomplishments of the Pro Deo et Patria awardee would be included in the CEAP Bulletin and
other publications that would be released by the association. An audio-visual presentation (AVP)
featuring these achievements would be shown during to the awarding.

III. Criteria

A. Service to God

1. The awardee must have significantly contributed in the promotion of Catholic values in the country
through his/her advocacy, initiation of and/or participation in specific projects, activities or programs.

a. These projects/advocacies must have been clearly demonstrated and proven to have positively affected
Philippine society or the specific communities where these were initiated. These should be stable,
sustainable and capable of being replicated; or

many people may be influenced to consciously explore innovative and creative avenues to uphold

as worthy of emulation.

B. Service to the Country

1. The awardee must also be involved in socio-civic work which aims to improve the lives of others. This
