The four Abu Dhabi Awards 2021 awardees

In commemoration of the 160th birth anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal, Philippine Ambassador to the UAE Hjayceelyn M. Quintana conferred the Sentro Rizal Abu Dhabi Awards 2021 to four Filipinos in the UAE who exemplified the national hero’s ideals by selflessly contributing their knowledge, talents, and skills for the nation’s interest as the hero did during his four-year exile in Dapitan on 19 June 2021.
