Honoring a great, fearless leader: Senate President Juan Miguel “Migz” F. Zubiri expresses the chamber's mourning on the passing of former President Fidel V. Ramos. In his sponsorship speech on Senate Resolution No. 72 during Monday’s plenary session, August 1, 2022, Zubiri said Ramos is “a military man, politician, statesman of the highest order whose mark upon the nation reverberates to this day, long after his term in Malacanang.” The Senate Leader recognized Ramos’ role in the creation of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao and for striking peace deals which laid out the foundation for the enactment of the Bangsamoro Organic Law. “We join the country in mourning the passing of this great, fearless leader and expressing our sincerest condolences to his family. Although we are made poor by his passing, he left behind a rich legacy and lessons that will serve us well if we heed them so we can finish the grand dream that Fidel V Ramos envisioned for the country he loves so much,” Zubiri said. Ramos died on July 31, 2022 at the age of 94. (Bibo Nuevaespana/ Senate PRIB)
