He responded to the Minister, Giselle González Villarrué, and emphasized the virtues of Ten and noted that she dedicated her life to "growing, promoting and conserving our country's cultural heritage" both inside and outside our borders.

The incumbent of Culture added that Dona Hilda Diez has been a tiring, strong, brave and creative worker who has shown his love for us not only in Panama but also abroad, as she has shown among the Hispanic community in New York.

Hilda Diez () is a Panamanian who grew up at Colón but later migrated to the U.S. where in 1963 she advanced the creation of the Panamanian Civil Alliance, an organization that aims to "spread Panamanian culture and folklore."

He founded the first typical Panamanian set in New York, contributing to the spread and unification of Panamanian youth in other states of North America.

Among other initiatives, she registered the Panamanian Civil Alliance with the Hispanic Commission and co-founder of the Commission of Ladies of the Hispanic Parades and became a member of the Nationalities Committee in 1990 and 2014, while she was awarded the honour of being a Marshal at the 50th anniversary of the Hispanic Parades.
