His Excellency General (Ret.) Fidel V. Ramos 
His Excellency Fidel Ramos is a private citizen but holding many responsibilities in very critically important national and global organisations. To cite a few from a long list, he is Chairman, Ramos Peace and Development (RPDEV) Foundation; Trustee, International Crisis Group (ICG); Member, Advisory Group, UN University for Peace; Founding Member, Policy Advisory Commission, World Intellectual Property Organization (PAC-WIPO); Honorary Member, World Commission on Water for the 21st Century; and Honorary President, Human Development Network (HDN) Philippines. He has 28 honorary doctorates from prestigious local and foreign institutions.
His Excellency Fidel Ramos started his career as a soldier committed to the security and defense of his country. He has been decorated with a number of military awards in recognition of his valor and service both by the Philippines and foreign governments. The “soldier-attitude” is a disciplined one and one that necessarily connotes a service directed at ensuring others live in security and peace. True soldiering is selfless and is “other-directed”. These social and emotional orientations certainly supported His Excellency Fidel Ramos in his journey to become the 12th President and to serve the Republic of the Philippines.
His Excellency Fidel Ramos was known as a hero of the 1986 people-power revolution, the bloodless coup that ousted an unpopular president. People power was His Excellency Fidel Ramos’ idea of how to fight an undemocratic and authoritarian institutional set up. It helped move the country forward. His Excellency Fidel Ramos was elected president in 1992. He led the country until 1998.
