BATANGAS Gov. Hermilando Mandanas was conferred on Tuesday evening the “Parangal San Mateo Award” by the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) Foundation.
It is PICPA’s highest award to a CPA for excellent and distinctive achievements in the accounting profession.
According to PICPA, Mandanas has “distinguished himself as a respected leader in the profession, both in the country and in the international arena.”
The group recognized Mandanas’ “exceptional contributions to the advancement of the accountancy profession and steadfast commitment to upholding the highest professional and ethical standards.” Mandanas was behind the Supreme Court’s (SC) landmark ruling that gave local government units a higher share of national internal revenue taxes.
