DAVAO CITY – Rep. Paolo Z. Duterte was conferred the Leadership Achiever as Public Servant citation in the Elite Business and Leadership Awards ceremony at the Philippine Plaza Manila in Pasay City on December 18.
The Elite Business and Leadership Awards honors and acknowledges the distinctive, dedicated, and genuine leadership of accomplished leaders globally, providing them with a professional boost to strengthen their influence.
Duterte thanked the award-giving body and regarded his citation as a shared success for the Filipino and people of Davao. He said the recognition of his office’s work is not their end goal, it is the improvement of the lives of the Filipinos they served.
“This (award) is for Dabawenyos and the Filipino people who have put their trust and confidence in our public service. This signifies the effectiveness of our partnership with our local and national leaders as we bring our programs and services closer to Filipino families,” he said.
The Elite Awards is presented by Triumph International Events Innovation and Marketing Co. Inc. (TIEIMCI), a business registered under the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Last month, Duterte was cited as Honorary Congressman of the Year in the Nation Builders and Mosliv Awards ceremony in Manila for crafting several legislative measures that significantly contributed to the country’s sustainable development.
