--A Brief Note on the 2024 Legacy Crown Group Awards Ceremony in the Philippines

At 5:00 PM on December 8, 2024, the Heritage Hotel Manila in the Philippines was resplendent with lights, as the grand 2024 Crown Group Awards Ceremony commenced in its second-floor ballroom. The hallway leading to the hall was adorned with massive posters featuring golden names—the stars of the evening: the awardees. The honourees came from the fields of culture and arts, education and healthcare, and public service in the Philippines. Among the awards, the most noteworthy was the "2024 International 20 Journalists Award," presented to 20 individuals from across four continents and five oceans. This award also marked the official launch of [The International Crown Legacy Magazine], spearheaded by entrepreneur Dr. Michael Kevin Eustaquio and journalist Antonio Ma-at. Dr. Michael, who previously earned the title of Asia's youngest entrepreneur, aims for the magazine to inspire dreamers worldwide and celebrate their hard work.

Around 160 guests from various sectors in the Philippines attended the ceremony and banquet. Representing the awardees, Ms. Christine Peiying Chen, from New Zealand's journalism and literary circles, was honoured to deliver a speech. She began by thanking the organizing committee for recognizing journalism professionals, praised the cultural inclusive of the Filipino people, and emphasized the conscience and social responsibility that journalists should uphold. Her speech received enthusiastic applause from the attendees. Notably, Mr. Jerry Chen and Ms. Jin Chen ,President and director of the Philippine Chinese Writers Association, respectively, were both awarded the Literary Contribution Award.

The awards ceremony lasted six hours and concluded amidst captivating singing and dancing performances.

The event was live-streamed on major social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube, with approximately 200 media channels worldwide reporting on it.

附：佩英女士发言如下。

女士们，先生们，新朋友们，老朋友们：
你们好！今天能够站在这里，我感到无比的荣幸和喜悦。
我来自一个名叫新西兰的小国家，人口仅有五百万，在地图上只是一个小小的点。然而，能够与众多杰出的新闻工作者一同被认可，对我来说意义非凡：这表明我们的声音正在被听见。
这不仅是个人的成就，更是对全球范围内新闻工作者、诗人、作家以及媒体从业者共同贡献的肯定。
这是我第一次来到你们美丽的国家。在这里，我看到了新与旧、历史与现代、东方与西方的共存。这让我不禁思考，你们的人民是如何将这些元素如此和谐地融合在一起的？我相信这是因为你们的人民拥有一种神奇的力量，能够搭建起文化之间的桥梁。而这项奖项，正是菲律宾向世界张开双臂、拥抱全球的最好证明。
地处南太平洋的重要位置，菲律宾是亚太地区的重要连接点。它拥有丰富的历史、多元的文化以及多样的语言，同时也具备深厚的媒体和文学传统。难怪菲律宾记者以他们的勇气、智慧和独立精神闻名。他们始终以真相为核心，为社会的进步而努力。
作为一名来自新西兰的作家，我深刻意识到菲律宾与新西兰在文化与媒体领域的紧密联系。我们共享同一个南太平洋海域，也共享对真相、和平与人类尊严的共同追求。
语言与媒体能够超越国界，它们是推动全球交流、理解与合作的强大力量。此次获奖，不仅是对个人努力的肯定，更是对国际新闻与文学界的激励。它放大了那些边缘化的声音，让它们能够被听见。
今天，我们面临着前所未有的挑战：信息过载、假新闻的威胁、日益加剧的贫富差距，以及战争的阴霾。在这样的时代，媒体与作家肩负着特殊的使命——捍卫真相、推动正义、守护人性。
这项奖项不仅是一种荣誉，更是一份责任。正如现代中国国父孙中山先生所说：“革命尚未成功，同志仍需努力。”
最后，我将这一荣誉献给所有为真相而奋斗的新闻工作者、捕捉人性本质的作家，以及为梦想坚持不懈的媒体人。无论我们的语言或国籍如何不同，我们都在以自己的方式书写历史，就在这里，此时此刻，你和我。
最后，再次感谢菲律宾皇冠集团和评审委员会的信任与认可。谢谢大家！

Christine Peiying Chen's Speech:

We Are the One

Ladies and gentlemen,New friends and old friends,
Good evening!It is such a pleasure and honour to be here.
I come from a small country called New Zealand, with a population of just five million—a tiny spot on the map. To be recognized alongside other outstanding journalists has a special meaning to me: it shows that our voices are being heard.
This is not just a personal achievement but a collective recognition of the work of journalists, poets, writers, and media professionals around the world.
This is my first visit to your beautiful country. Here, I see the coexistence of the old and the new, history and modernity, the East and the West. It makes me wonder how your people have managed to blend these elements so harmoniously. I believe it is the magic of your people who have built a bridge between cultures. This award is a testament to how the Philippines extends its arms to embrace the world.
Situated in a strategic location in the South Pacific, the Philippines serves as a vital connection point for the Asia-Pacific region. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and diverse languages, the Philippines has deep media and literary traditions. It is no wonder that Filipino journalists are known for their courage, wisdom, and independence. They consistently place truth at the centre of their work and strive for the betterment of society.
As a writer from New Zealand, I am keenly aware of the close ties between the Philippine and New Zealand in the fields of culture and media. We share the same South Pacific Ocean and the same pursuit of truth, peace, and human dignity.
Words and media transcend borders; they are forces that drive global exchange, understanding, and cooperation. This award is an encouragement for the international journalism and literary communities. It amplifies marginalized voices and ensures they are heard.
Today, we face unprecedented challenges: an overflow of information, the rise of fake news, widening wealth gaps, and the devastation of war. In such times, media and writers bear a special mission—to defend the truth, promote justice, and preserve humanity.
This award is not only an honour but also a responsibility. As the founding father of modern China, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, once said:
“The revolution is not yet complete; comrades must continue to strive.”

Finally, I dedicate this honour to all journalists and writers who capture the essence of humanity and persevere in their dreams. Together, we are all writing history—right here, right now.
We are the one.
Once again, thank you to the Legacy Crown Committee for your trust and recognition.
Thank you for all of you !
