Singer/songwriter Juan Luis Guerra and Drug Control Department (DNCD) Captain Raysa de la Cruz have been named 2007 Man and Woman of the year by Diario Libre. DL director Adriano Miguel Tejada said that the purpose of the award was to make symbols out of two Dominicans whose work promoted Dominican values. The ceremony took place at the Hotel Embajador last night, and Vice President Rafael Alburquerque and Omnimedia president Manuel Arturo Pellerano presented the awards. The 10 finalists for the award received silver platters in recognition of their work, including rescue worker Jose Altagracia Capellan, composer Darwin Aquino, Dr. Pedro Urena, Jatna Tavarez, Alicia Ortega, philanthropist Maria Magdalena Rosario and weightlifter Yudelkis Contreras. Contreras will represent the DR in the 2008 Olympics in China.
