RAMIREZ GINAWARAN NG DOCTOR OF HUMANITIES NG MSU

IGINAWAD ng Mindanao State University (MSU) Marawi Campus ang Doctor of Humanities Honoris Causa kay Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Chairman William “Butch” Ramirez bilang pagkilala sa kanyang kontribusyon sa Mindanao Sports for Peace movement sa pagdiriwang ng ika-60 anibersaryo ng pagkakatatag ng naturang campus nitong Huwebes sa MSU Convention Center sa Lanao del Sur.

Pinangunahan ni MSU System President Habib Macaayong ang pagkakaloob ng academic recognition kay Ramirez, kasama sina Executive Vice President Rasid Paca, Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Alma Berowa, at Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs Alizedney Ditucalan.

“You have touched the hearts of many. On behalf of the whole MSU System community, we honor the unrelenting support you have afforded our institution,” pahayag ni Macaayong.

“I am humbled at the privilege of esteem being bestowed on me today with this conferment of a Doctor of Humanities Honoris Causa by this prestigious and respected educational institution. I thank Pres. Macaayong and the whole Mindanao State University for recognizing our efforts and contributions to the university and the Mindanao Sports for Peace movement,” sabi ni Ramirez makaraang tanggapin ang parangal.

Iginiit ni Ramirez na naging mensahero lamang siya sa kautusan ni Pangulong Duterte na palakasin ang sports sa bansa, higit sa malalayong lugar sa Mindanao.

“Although Marawi is not in the periphery, it is an urban society beset by the sad realities of strife. That is why we continued supporting this city, by rehabilitating the MSU Track Oval to an Olympic-standard facility and helping accelerate sports development, we hope to shore up the spirits of the people and spark inspiration among the youth through sports,” ani Ramirez.

Bago naganap ang kaguluhan sa Marawi noong 2017, naipahatid ng PSC ang tulong sa 300 kabataan sa Brgy. Buru-un sa Iligan city, matapos isagawa ang Children’s Games – ang programa ng PSC na kinikilala ng UNESCO. Noong 2018, umabot sa 500 bata ang lumahok sa Palaro sa MSU.

Tinatayang 20,000 bata mula sa Marawi, hanggang sa isla ng Limasawa ang nakadalo sa Children’s Games. Umaasa si Ramirez na mas marami pa ang mapagsisilbihan ng PSC sa kabila ng kasalukuyang krisis sa COVID-19.

“I am beholden to you and the country to continue to work towards the development of sports and our youth,” sambit ni Ramirez. EDWIN ROLLON
