This afternoon the Sixth Jose Rizal Awards for Excellence will be
given to outstanding Tsinoys. The awardees are all Filipinos of

excellence in their personal and professional lives.
Also being awarded today for public service is
the Association of Philippine Fire Brigades, Inc., whose members are
largely Tsinoys.
