Father Richard Ho Lung, who leads the MOP, has led a life of service that has touched the heart of the nation. In his acceptance, Father Ho Lung noted, "Missionaries of the Poor are blessed and humbled to receive the first Wisynco Humanitarian Award from Wisynco. God has been abundant with this wonderful company, and this wonderful company has been abundant in helping the poor."
