The Gusi Peace Prize is a private[1] award given by the Gusi Peace Prize Foundation, based in Manila, Philippines. The Gusi Peace Prize recognizes individuals and organizations who have contributed to global peace and progress through a wide variety of fields. The awards ceremonies are held yearly in Manila, Philippines, on the fourth Wednesday of November.[2]
In addition to the award, the foundation is said to conduct charity and medical outreach in different provinces in the Philippines[3]
The Gusi Peace Prize is referred to in Presidential Proclamation No. 1476[4] signed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, declaring every fourth Wednesday of November as the 'Gusi Peace Prize International Friendship Day'.
The Gusi Peace Prize was founded by its now chairman Barry Gusi as a way to continue the work of his late father, Gemeniano Javier Gusi, said to be a World War II guerrilla who fought against the Japanese and later became a politician and human rights advocate.
Background
The Gusi Peace Prize Foundation is non-stock, non-profit and non-secular. It is registered in the Securities and Exchange Commission in Manila,[5] Philippines. Its main objective is to confer awards of recognition to individuals or groups who have contributed to peace and respect for human life and dignity. The foundation recognizes achievements in a wide range of fields.[6]

The awarding ceremony is held annually every fourth Wednesday of November (The Gusi Peace Prize International Friendship Day). The event is held at the Philippine International Convention Center in Manila. Recipients must be present to receive the award, except for extreme circumstances such as health or accident.
