| Eduardo H. Manaig, M.D. Bonita, California Spearheader, Humanitarian and Community Leader |
When the Paradise Valley Lions of the prestigious International
Lions Club was chartered in San Diego County in 1994, the club
called for a strong and proven leader among leaders to
provide the leadership for a newly chartered association
composing of various successful professionals and career
individuals as members. The name of a successful and well-
respected Filipino-American physician, who has been providing
“pro bono” medical treatments to many needy people since
1974, was nominated by its members as its charter and first
president: Eduardo Hernandez Manaig, fondly called by friends.
It was indeed a very wise selection and the best decision to elect
Eddie to lead the club! For six years after its official charter, the
Paradise Valley Lions has been garnering prestigious awards in
succession. Eddie has not ceased to come up with award-
winning projects. Just barely a year after its charter, the Lions
Club International in 1994, awarded the Paradise Valley Lions
the most coveted “Presidential International Humanitarian
Award.” This award was bestowed for the local charter’s
aggressive effort in sponsoring humanitarian medical missions
to the Philippines, Africa and India.
