Chinese Professor Wins Philippine Magsaysay Award

Professor Liang Congjie from China Institute of Culture (CIC) won the 2000 Philippine Ramon Magsaysay Award on Monday for his extraordinary work on environmental protection.

Named after former Philippine president Ramon Magsaysay (1907-1957), the Ramon Magsaysay Award, Asia's equivalent of the Nobel Prize, is given every year by the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation (RMAF) to outstanding persons or institutions in social activities.

Liang Congjie, director of the Green Culture Branch of CIC, China's first non-governmental environmental protection organization, is the winner of the Public Service Award this year. The Institute has worked hard to protect a kind of monkey (rhinopithecus bieti), a Tibetan antelope and many other endangered animals.

Other winners of the award include a former Philippine mayor who received the Government Service Award. Two Indians won the Journalism, Literature and the Creative Communication Arts Award and Community Leadership and International Understanding Award respectively.

The Award started in 1958. Fei Xiaotong, a renowned ethnologist and sociologist, received the Community Leadership Award in 1994. He was the first Chinese to win the Magsaysay Award.
