Members of the 19th Congress’ House of Representatives are mourning the death of former President Fidel Valdez Ramos, with most lawmakers remembering him as a great leader who was a role model to many aspiring politicians.
Speaker and Leyte 1st District Rep. Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, president of political party Lakas-CMD which Ramos co-founded, said Ramos will be a tough act to follow because of his ability to balance toughness and having a caring heart for Filipinos.
“We, in the Lakas-CMD, are saddened to learn of the passing of our Chairman Emeritus, former President Fidel Valdez Ramos. We all grieve because we lost a great leader and a dear friend. One who is a pillar of strength, and an inspiration to all,” Romualdez said on Sunday.
“President Ramos will be remembered as one of the great Filipino leaders that took good governance to heart. His experience as a military general and his innate charm set the blueprint for what Philippine leaders should be: tough when necessary, but with a caring heart for the common Filipino. FVR is a tough act to follow.
