The Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation (RMAF) is proud to announce that the book series, "The Greatness of Spirit: Stories of Love, Courage, and Service," has been honored with the Gold Stevie Award for Innovation in NGO Publications. This accolade was awarded at the 2024 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards gala awards on 24 May 2024 in Manila, Philippines.

"The Greatness of Spirit: Stories of Love, Courage, and Service" is a compelling collection of narratives that showcase the undaunted courage and selfless service of 326 individuals and 22 organizations in Asia who have received the Ramon Magsaysay Award since 1958. The seven-volume book series highlights the impact of altruistic actions and the profound difference they make in communities.

RMAF President Susan B. Afan and Gentry Press representative Atty. Genesis Sampaga accepted the Stevie Award on behalf of the Foundation. “The Greatness of Spirit (GOS) book series is the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation’s love letter to Asia. Our seven-volume series showcases our region’s rich history through the inspiring stories of all Ramon Magsaysay Awardees. After two years of meticulous research, production, and collaboration with Gentry Press, this series is more than just books—it's a tribute to the indomitable spirit of Asia,” says Ms. Afan.
