CEAP acknowledges the internal and external manifestation of the awardees love for God and country and his/her faithfulness to Catholic teachings as part of service to God. The awardee must be seen as a model of Christ the Teacher.

Past recipients of this award are the late Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin, the late President Corazon C. Aquino (posthumously, 2009) and Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal (Cebu 2010), Fr Anscar R. Chupungco, OSB (posthumously, Cebu 2013), Fr. Catalino G. Arevalo, SJ (Cebu 2013), Abp. Leonardo Z. Legaspi (posthumously, Davao 2014), Dr. Lourdes R. Quisumbing ( Manila 2015), Amb. Henrietta De Villa and Cardinal Rosales (Cebu, 2016).

The accomplishments of the Pro Deo et Patria awardee would be included in the CEAP Bulletin and other publications that would be released by the association. An audio-visual presentation (AVP) featuring these achievements would be shown during to the awarding.

III. Criteria

A. Service to God

1. The awardee must have significantly contributed in the promotion of Catholic values in the country through his/her advocacy, initiation of and/or participation in specific projects, activities or programs.

a. These projects/advocacies must have been clearly demonstrated and proven to have positively affected Philippine society or the specific communities where these were initiated. These should be stable, sustainable and capable of being replicated; or

2. The awardee must be of high moral and spiritual integrity, whose faith can be emulated and promoted as worthy of emulation.

B. Service to the Country

2. The awardee must be a leader in his/her field but need not be a person of immense power or stature. His/her leadership status shows that s/he does not just do what s/he does for the sake of doing it but that s/he wants to lead and mobilize others to realize their objectives, clearly a better way of bringing in encouraging change.

IV. Guidelines
