The Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. Triennial Awards trophy emphasizes the gesture of extending a benevolent hand to another in need. From the base, the metamorphic human figure ascends, symbolizing responsibility and commitment to serving those who are less privileged.
Also conceived as a figure of the human soul, it touches the base where it originated. The absence of distinct facial features implies that it could be anyone of us—regardless of sex, religion, race, clan, age, status, and position—capable of following such a selfless path in life.

The chipped arm of the helping figure and the chip on the raised arm stand for empathy, the link between the privileged and the underprivileged. It represents two-way communication and interaction that suggest a close interrelationship between the two, further reminding us that not a single human being can live without the other.
The trophy, when viewed from a quarter angle, outlines the form of a human heart and conveys, most significantly, the virtue of love and optimism.
What better way to honor and recognize those who reflect in themselves the philanthropic, humanitarian, and holistic ideals of Don Ramon and Don Eduardo Aboitiz.
