Born in 1928. Died on July 31, 2022.
I extend my deepest condolences to the family of former President Fidel Valdez Ramos who passed away today having lived a full life as a military officer and public servant.

As head of the Constabulary under President Marcos, Fidel V. Ramos was instrumental in helping to design and implement martial law.
Together with General Ponce Enrile and the RAM, he defected from the government in 1986 and joined the People’s Power revolution that ousted Marcos from power.
The presidency of “Steady Eddie” is remembered for better integrating the country’s economy in the global scheme.
Ramos was notably the first Protestant to win the top office in an overwhelmingly Catholic nation.
