Romulo was just a name I encountered and memorized during my history classes in elementary and high school but seeing "The Romulo Reader" wedged between two other books in Manila City Library one fateful day changed it all. Though I was not fortunate enough to have been alive during his time, reading "The Romulo Reader" thus far has given me a more personal sense of the man who gave his whole life to the Philippines. To put it shortly, his words will forever remain immortal to the world and will continue to inspire generations of Filipinos! Thank you for giving me a chance to be inspired patriotically through "The Romulo Reader"! Mr. Carlos P.

He is blessed to have someone like you to continue his legacy even in your own little way. However, the power of online will make "little" not so little anymore as it will reach more than newspapers or magazine can. It would be nice to meet you in person and share about your lolo's dreams and achievements, which gave me the same feeling while watching "Independence Day".

Thank you for sharing your grandfather's history and writing so eloquently and compassionately about the man. I am inspired. What a great man, a great Rotarian, and a great message.

Ambassador Guillermo Sison made it possible to squeeze in his busy schedule in between courtesy calls of foreign dignitaries. I will always remember talking with him and experiencing the humility of a great man. He gave us his autobiography " I walked with Heroes" which he autographed. We did have our pictures taken but I don't know what happened to it. The book, which was his only remaining copy at that time , was given to our teacher in Literature, Ms. Carmelita Dimzon, who is now administrator of OWWA. I do hope she still has the book, as I never get to ask her again. I hope I can get a copy of his appointment book where I am sure an entry of that significant interview happened. Will that be ever possible? My gratitude to the General. I met him and interviewed him with a classmate sometime in February, 1972.
