Ambassador Gusi angry at Pacquiao for not attending the Gusi Peace Awards last November 25 2009. Manny Pacquiao was one of the awardees of the asian version of the nobel peace prize which Gusi named after himself. Nobody even heard of this award until the Pacquaio incident. Plus Manny Pacquaio is a very busy man. A lot f people wants a piece of Manny.
Lets listen to Ambassador Gusi's angry speech.
The Gusi Peace Prize is a Philippines based award recognising individuals working toward the attainment of peace and respect for human life and dignity.[1] It has been referred to as the Asian equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize by its proponent. [2][3]
The award is given to 10 to 15 people each year, who must attend the awards night dinner to receive it or else it will be given to another nominee who can attend the awarding ceremony.
The annual Gusi Peace Prize Awards is run by the Gusi Peace Prize Foundation, an organisation based in Manila that performs humanitarian work for poor communities in the Philippines. The foundation was created in 2003 by Barry Gusi to continue the philanthropic work of his parents.
In 2008, the Philippines government designated the third November of each year 'Gusi Peace Prize International Friendship Day'.
Its popularity was raised in 2009 when the boxer Manny Pacquiao was invited to be an award recipient.
