FVR gifts Ming with biography

By December 16, 2008News, People & Events

FORMER President Fidel V. Ramos has something special for his wife, former First Lady Amelita ‘Ming’ Ramos, when she celebrates her 81st birthday on December 29 – a book about her.

After publishing individual historical biographies on his parents, the late Foreign Affairs Secretary Narciso Ramos and Angela Valdez Ramos; his uncle, Bataan war veteran and Congressman Simeon Marcos Valdez; and his mother-in-law, Josefa Jara Martinez, FVR convinced the former First Lady about the project.

He later requested the Ramos family’s historical biographer, Melandrew T. Velasco, a journalist from Dagupan City, to work on the book which FVR personally titled ‘Simply Ming.’

The 330-page coffee table historical biography is an intimate account of her legacy as a wife, mother, professional career woman and educator, sports leader, environmentalist, musical artist and one of the most influential Filipinas in the 21st century.

‘Simply Ming’ is co-published by the Ramos Peace and Development Foundation, Inc. (RPDEV) and Media Touchstone Ventures, Inc. To purchase a copy, contact Tel. Nos. 3736741/ 3736792, text 09184291479 or email @ mediatouchstone@yahoo.com.#
