The Alumni Achievement Award or Triple A, the highest recognition given by the AIM alumni community and the Asian Institute of Management to its outstanding graduates was presented to Ms. Ruth Callanta, MM 1986 during AIM’s appreciation dinner last February 27, 2009. Leading the awarding ceremony were Sec. Jesli Lapus, MBM 1973, Chairman of the Triple A Club and Secretary of the Department of Education, Mr. Gabriel Paredes, MBM 1972, Chairman of the Alumni Association of AIM, and Datuk Ir. (Dr.) Mohd Annas Hj. Mohd Nor, MM 1984, Chairman of the Federation of AIM Alumni. Sec. Lapus cited Ms. Callanta for her exemplary degree of personal excellence and achievement, and her dedication to the upliftment of the less privileged members of the society, which provides inspiration to the AIM community.  Ms. Ruth Callanta obtained her Master in Management degree in 1986. After graduating from AIM, she established the Center for Community Transformation whose mission was to help build and transform communities where members enjoy prosperity, justice, peace and good health. Through her leadership, the CCT Credit Cooperative has released loans worth P 1.6 Billion to more than 100,000 micro-entrepreneurs as of the end of 2007, with an amazing 98.5% repayment rate. With 100,000 urban poor families provided with a source of income, 50,000 given jobs, and more than 500 community leaders serving their communities, Ms. Callanta has indeed made a remarkable difference to the less fortunate in society.
