The other awardees were Atty. Dick Funk, past chairman, and Atty. Melvyn Lagasca, past president.

Atty. Laserna, assisted by his law partner Atty. Myrna Mercader, both of whom were then officers of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) Chapter in the southern Metro Manila district, founded the Association 8 years ago (2001) to promote the rule of law and the administration of justice in the Philippines by encouraging the formation of voluntary bar associations to unite the Filipino lawyers.

Atty. Laserna and Atty. Mercader serve as Board Consultants of the LPBA.

The LPBA is now headed by Atty. Antonio Manzano, chairman, and Atty. Purita Fajilan, president (2008-2009).
