MENTORS AND SPECIAL GUESTS FIDEL V. RAMOS, THE 12TH PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES, is remembered for his ability to lead and his willingness to be led—not by astute advisors and political strategists, but by the people whom he served, and served well, for six years. Steadfastly and faithfully, he promoted the principles of people empowerment and global competitiveness during his term as President from 30 June 1992 to 30 June 1998. He will be remembered as the leader who quickly led the nation out of darkness, putting an end to the power crisis that crippled our homes and industries. He is remembered as a leader who always looked toward the future and whose thumbs-up optimism—captured in descriptive phrases like “Caring, Sharing and Daring,” “Philippines 2000” and “Pole-vaulting”—propelled the economy. He is remembered for his positive energy that seemed to burst from his cool and at times steely demeanor. He pursued, focused and converged programs to ﬁ ght poverty in accordance with the will of the Filipino people expressed by 229 structural/reform laws enacted by Congress from 1992 to 1998.

During the years 1993–1997, the Philippine economy recovered dramatically and a comprehensive Social Reform Agenda (SRA) was implemented that addressed long-standing problems regarding poverty, health, education and skills training, housing, environmental protection, children and the youth, the elderly and the handicapped, jobs and livelihood, agrarian reform and access to equal opportunity. Gross National Product averaged 5 percent annually. The total infl ow of foreign exchange into the country outpaced forex infl ows of the combined periods of rule of both Presidents Marcos and Aquino. Average income of the Filipino family grew more during his administration than in the preceding two decades. He pushed for the deregulation of key industries and the liberalization of the economy. He encouraged the privatization of public entities, to include the modernization of public infrastructure through the expanded Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) law. While com- munist insurgency dwindled to historic lows, he achieved a peace agreement with military rebels and the MNLF southern secessionists which won for him (together with Chairman Nur Misuari) and the Philippines the coveted 1997 UNESCO Peace Prize—the fi rst for Asians. His public service spanned a total period of 51 years.

He also served as Secretary of National Defense (1988–1991) and Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (1986–1988) with the rank of General.

In retirement, he seems to be always on the go throughout the Philippines, mobilizing the citizenry and pushing Unity of Purpose, Solidarity in Values and Teamwork in Nation-building at every opportunity. Ever the international diplomat and Philippine cheerleader, he personally interacts with many leaders in various strategic and intellectual fora around the world.
