Finance Secretary Ralph Recto was chosen as this year’s Lifetime Contributor Awardee for the Public Sector—the highest recognition of the Asia CEO Awards.
“This award is not mine alone. This belongs to the entire DOF family. Because this is a product of our great teamwork,” Recto said in his acceptance speech at the Asia CEO Awards on Oct. 8, 2024.
Considered the largest event of its kind in Southeast Asia, the Asia CEO Awards is presented by Robinsons Land and honors the most successful companies and individuals in terms of excellence in business and impact on society.
Recto was nominated and chosen by the board of judges as this year’s Lifetime Contributor Awardee for the public sector due to his notable contributions to nation-building, particularly in promoting economic progress and sustainable development.
“The reason why we chose this technocrat, we wanted to make him a role model for all those aspiring to serve in high positions,” said distinguished economist, author and professor Dr. Bernie Villegas who served as a member of the board of judges.
