Fr. Johnny Go, SJ, Director of Xavier School, was selected this year’s recipient of the Cebu Anonymous Most Outstanding Chinese School Administrator Award.  He will be honored on March 6,2010, 3:00 p.m., at the Federation of Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Manila.

Fr. Go was cited for his excellence in the areas of 1) Chinese language promotion, 2) leadership and administration, and 3) self-development and formation of others. The award comes with a PhP300 thousand cash prize which Fr. Go is donating to the Xavier School Educational and Trust Fund (XSETF), for the school’s Grant-in-Aid scholarship program.

Alongside Fr. Go, 14 Model Chinese Teachers also will be honored. This recognition seeks to honor and reward exemplary work of teachers and administrators from Chinese-Filipino schools all over the country. It was initiated by an anonymous philanthropist from Cebu to advance the development of Chinese language education. After his death, the benefactor was revealed to be Mr. Shih Wei Peng. Now on its 10th year, this annual search is conducted with the help of the Philippine Chinese Education Research Center.
