Democracy and Discipline
Book Launch
October 1, 2007 - 4:30 pm
Romulo Hall, Philippine Embassy
Sponsored by the Philippine Embassy & Philippine American Chamber of Commerce - Metro DC
The book is a study of the twelfth president - and twelfth presidency of the Philippines - undertaken by two contemporary students of the subject.
The volume is not a biography of "FVR" in any formal sense. Its focus, rather, is on the pattern of governance he established, certainly based on the character of the man and the principles he lived.
While not exactly a history of the Ramos administration, Democracy and Discipline takes a look at most of the crises and achievements of those years, tracing the roots of the accomplishments to the leadership of a professional soldier for 42 years, an engineer with a grasp of the larger social structure (a Protestant in a predominantly Catholic country) and a global picture shaped be a family steeped in democracy, and a practitioner of formally learned management principles.
