A letter from former Philippine President Fidel V. Ramos




A letter from former Philippine President Fidel V. Ramos

It is with great honor to share Mr. Ramos' recent letter. I proudly share this letter with our Filipino American Community in GA because it would not have been possible to accomplish such without the contribution of each and every person involved at the May 7, 2006 event. (Please click on:
http://malakingpasasalamat.blogspot.com/)


As inspired by Mahatma Gandhi, let us start the change that we want to see in the world.



******************

Dear Ms. Luetgers: (Toni)

Thank you for your letter dated July 5, 2006. I am happy to hear about the success of the FilCom/FilAm dinner to which you invited me and Mrs. Ramos. We congratulate you and laud the efforts of your foundation in helping our less-fortunate brothers and sisters in Lucban, Quezon. Your donations and dedication to work will surely make a big difference in the lives of many here at home.

Just recently, I had the chance to congratulate one of your kababayans Leo Oracion for his achievement as the 1st Filipino to reach the peak of Mr. Everest. Like you, he has brought pride to the province of Quezon. Though he was raised in Cebu, Leo was born in Lucban, Quezon. Please find attached news articles.

We look forward to hearing more about the activities and projects that your foundation is undertaking. Do let us know how our foundation can interface with you in the future.

Mabuhay/Best Wishes!!!

Signed
Fidel V. Ramos
