Originally posted from the Naga City website and for those who have not read it yet, and yes, our batchmate, Ronnie Albeus, who we can be truly proud of.
Another proud son of Naga is making waves overseas as an outstanding OFW, community leader and distinguished Filipino worth emulating.
For more than 13 years now, Nagueño Ronnie R. Albeus has been working as a quality assurance manager of the Tyco Singapore where he excelled as an outstanding employee and at the same time community leader among the Singapore-based OFWs.
Ronnie graduated cum laude for his BSBA major in Management degree at the University of Nueva Caceres where he was also cited with a Leadership Award and Unit Award for Peer Counselors. He would later find work at Tyco in Singapore where he works as a Quality Assurance Manager for its Fire and Security Business Segment. And for 13 solid years, Ronnie worked hard and at the same time served well his overseas kababayans as a community leader.
Volunteerism as one of his core values in life, Ronnie has been serving as the president of the Filipino Association of Singapore since 2003. He is the choir leader of the Reach Out Minstrels which regularly sing at the church services at the Mother Theresa Home for the Aged every Sunday. He also serves as the overall coordinator of the Bicolano Association of Singapore.
A good provider of a family of four (Ronn Cedric, Ameerah Dianne, Hannah Alyssa, Leiazel Shanley) and a loving husband to his wife, Marissa, Ronnie Albeus has been spearheading numerous humanitarian, charitable, socio-cultural, spiritual, civic and other welfare projects aside from his family and work commitments.
Among the multi-pronged projects and activities he initiated and worked out were: various outreach programs both in Singapore and the Philippines, organizing the search for the Filipino Star in Singapore, the FAS annual sports tourney, annual Filipino sportsfest (the Palarong Pilipino since 1994), free dental mission to the poorest of the poor in the country, distribution of free school supplies, free health screening, distribution of relief goods for Mayon Volcano eruption victims, fund raising campaigns for scholarship grants, and gift-giving, among others.
No wonder, Ronnie was cited the following awards: ONE of the Four Outstanding Filipinos in Singapore Awardees (June 12, 2006) conferred by the Philippine Embassy in Singapore; Outstanding Alumnus Award conferred by his alma mater, the University of Nueva Caceres in 2002; Mayoral Recognition Award given by the City Government of Naga on the occasion of its Charter Day anniversary on December 15, 2001; Gawad Geny Lopez, Jr. Bayaning Pilipino 2001 Award as country winner for the Asia-Pacific region conferred by the ABS-CBN on November 15, 2001.
Ronnie was not only an outstanding civic leader, he was an effective and efficient employee as well. No less than his company Tyco awarded him its prestigious Tyco Vital Volunteer Global Award in 2005 which handed him a trophy and a US$5,000 reward “for his vital contribution to the society through selfless donation of his time and talents.” Three years before, Ronnie as the QA/QC Leader was instrumental in obtaining the ISO 9001 Certification for Tyco Singapore, thus, he was cited with the Tyco Singapore Outstanding Employee of 2002.
In May 2004, the Filipino Overseas Workers in Singapore (FOWS) cited him with the FOWS Long Service Award for his continued dedication and service to the OFWs in Singapore.
For his contribution to national development efforts, outstanding achievements and continued assistance to help the country and advance the cause of Filipino communities overseas, Ronnie is proudly backed by Naga City Mayor Jesse M. Robredo in his nomination to the prestigious 2006 Lingkod Para sa Kapwa Pilipino Presidential Awards.
