The late president Fidel Ramos will be accorded a state funeral today at the Libingan ng mga Bayani in Taguig City where his cremated remains will be inurned.

The Philippine Ecumenical Peace Platform has remembered former president Fidel Ramos’ own advocacy to promote peace.

Officials pursuing peace with rebels lauded the late president Fidel Ramos’ initiatives for reconciliation and unity.

There is no doubt in my mind that Fidel Valdez Ramos was the best president we have had. Starting his career as a soldier, FVR risked his life defending democracy and became the peacemaker we needed at crucial moments in our history.
