From the PAPC-USA website:
On it’s 22nd year, the Philippine American Press Club, USA launched the search for the first recipient of the Plaridel Award.
This annual award will be given to the Filipino American journalist who has proven through the years his/her dedication to the ideals of our Filipino hero, nationalist, publisher and writer, Marcelo H. Del Pilar. Plaridel, del Pilar’s nom de plume, dedicated his life to the highest journalistic standards. His near-Quixotic drive for the well-being of his constituents never waned. And whether he was in his hometown in Pampanga or exiled in Hong Kong or faraway Spain, he was unrelenting in his pursuit of the truth, fairness in reporting, and in the upliftment of his countrymen.
The Plaridel Award will be presented sometime in October 2011.
