‘Undying Service to the Filipino’ launched today at Manila Hotel

The Ramos Peace and Development Foundation (RPDEV) and the Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation will launch at 4 p.m. today, July 19, the “Undying Service to the Filipino,” Volume 14, at the Champagne Salon of the Manila Hotel.

The book is a of compilations of selected “sermons” from former President Fidel V. Ramos’ weekly column, “On Empowering The Filipino People” in the Manila Bulletin.

Like previous volumes, “Undying Service to the Filipino” will be launched in time for the next State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA) – the third by President Duterte – before a Joint Session of Congress at Batasang Pambansa on 23 July 2018.

Through this book, we aim to continue fulfilling our intrinsic duty of imparting the values of transcendent events in nation-building to those who now bear the torch of national leadership and most especially to our younger generations. We should never tire in inspiring them to aspire for excellence and find honor in making self-sacrifice toward a common good. They need to know – and, from time-to-time, have to be reminded – what their elders had fought and died for, in the service of God, country, people, and the environment.

The book is part of RPDEV’s continuing education advocacies and publications program in line with its four main program areas, namely: enduring peace in the Asia-Pacific region, sustainable development, socio-economic diplomacy, and democratic governance. Public servants, sectoral representatives, educators, journalists, veterans, and most especially concerned, young Filipinos are cordially invited to this book launch.
