The U.S. Embassy held its 18th annual award ceremony for the Benigno S. Aquino, Jr. Fellowships for Professional Development on February 16. This fellowship program was established in 1988 to recognize the late Senator's accomplishments in public service and media. Each year, two Aquino Fellows are chosen to participate in a U.S. study-tour to meet and exchange views with professionals in their fields. This year's honorees are Norman Aquino (left), the Aquino Fellow for Journalism and Ricardo G. Cabaron (right), the Aquino Fellow for Public Service, pictured with former President Corazaon Aquino and U.S. Ambassador Kristie A. Kenney at the ceremony held at the U.S. Embassy.
