Guam - Acting Governor Dr. Mike Cruz was presented with the 2009 “Garbo sa Sugbo” (“Pride in Cebu”) award by the Cebu Provincial Government on Aug. 5 at Capitol Social Hall in Cebu, Philippines.
In conjunction with the province of Cebu’s founding anniversary, the awards are given annually at the Governor’s Ball to a few select individuals who have made significant contributions in sharing and promoting Cebu’s culture.
Acting Governor Cruz was awarded specifically for outstanding achievement in service within the government of Guam, dedication and commitment to health care and humanitarian services, and faithfulness to his Filipino and Cebuano roots. His grandmother was born a Cebuano citizen.
“I am humbled by this award,” said Acting Governor Cruz. “My grandmother has always been proud of her Cebuano heritage. With this award, I feel her love for her homeland has come full circle, and I am proud of what this award represents.”
Other 2009 recipients of the award were Profoods International Corp., Cebu Arts Foundation Inc., and Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc.
