  • The award was created in April 1957 by the trustees of the New York City-based Rockefeller Brothers Fund with the approval of the Philippine government. 
     
  • This award is very prestigious and has the rank of a Nobel Prize in Asia. 
     
  • The Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation recognizes and honors individuals and organizations from Asia, regardless of race, creed, gender, or nationality, who have distinguished themselves in their respective fields and have generously helped others without expecting public recognition.
