Gawad Bayani
This category of DLSU-D Gawad Caviteño is the highest among all the other awards. Of the men and women who have achieved great things and have shown distinguished courage and noble qualities, some are given due recognition while others who are equally deserving remain unrecognized. Heroes in their own right by virtues of significant contributions in serving people, they should be searched out and once found, be given the laurels they truly deserve. This is the raison d’etre, the reason for being, of Gawad Bayani.
Awardees from the different categories of DLSU-D Gawad Caviteño may later be awarded this prestigious award if criteria are met.
