I have been bumping into Senator Richard Gordon since he was the Tourism Secre-tary, and I have been hounding him for his favorite books. I’m happy to finally share his favorite books. He has taken a step further by taking the time to share more than just a line of description for each book.

                    [Summary] => 
The yearly memorial to the end of Japanese occupation in the philippines occurs in the month of February.  The weather is temperate, there is a constant cool breeze and the light is still not so harsh.  It is a pleasant time to visit the cemeteries and memorial sites to lay flowers and utter a prayer to loved ones and fellow citizens who died this month 60 years ago.  For the over 100,000 innocent civilians who perished in Manila in February, their deaths were tragic and unnecessary.

We are in dire need of heroes these days, it seems. In times of spiritual crisis or moral relativism, it becomes harder than ever to say what is right and wrong, let alone stand up for it.
