The Ramos Peace and Development Foundation and Manila Bulletin Publishing Corp. are set to launch “Undying Service to the Filipino,” Volume 14 of a series of compilations of selected “sermons” from FVR’s weekly column, “On Empowering the Filipino People” in the Manila Bulletin every Sunday.
The book launch will be held on July 19, (Thursday) 4 pm at the Champagne Salon, Manila Hotel, Roxas Boulevard, Manila.
Like its previous volumes, “Undying Service to the Filipino” will be launched in time for the next State of the Nation Address—the third by President Rodrigo R. Duterte—before a Joint Session of Congress at Batasan Pambansa on July 23, 2018.
“Through this book, we aim to continue fulfilling the Filipinos’ 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 towards 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 RPDEV Foundation said in a statement.
The book is part of RPDEVs continuing education advocacies and publications program in line with its four main program areas namely: Enduring peace in the Asia-Pacific region, sustainable development, socioeconomic diplomacy, and democratic governance.
Public servants, sectoral representatives, educators, journalists, veterans and most especially concerned young Filipino are cordially invited to this book launch.
