On February 28, 2026, Ambassador Ryan Esteban Cordero was formally honored with the South East Asian Achievement Award during a prestigious ceremony held at the Networld Hotel. This high-level recognition, which included both a Certificate of Recognition and a Plaque of Recognition, was bestowed by the awarding body to celebrate his significant contributions and exemplary leadership within the region.

As Ambassador Cordero was unable to attend the ceremony in person, the awards were graciously received on his behalf by his nephew, Junel Manulat, a student currently pursuing a Bachelor of Evangelical Ministry. The event served as a powerful testament to the Ambassador’s professional legacy and his commitment to excellence, made even more meaningful by the presence of his family representing him on the international stage.
