One of the rare great and humble leaders of the Philippines is former Senate President Jovito "Jovy" Salonga. He is today 93 years old and ailing, I believe we should honor him and emulate his example.

He was a true nationalist similar to Claro M. Recto, Lorenzo Tañada, Jose Diokno and Renato Constantino.

I had recently bought his beautiful, historic yet simple country house in Pansol, Laguna.

In my Philippine Star column yesterday on August 11, 2013 entitled "A slice of history in Jove Salonga's rest house", I wrote: "I admire Jovy Salonga as an
exceptionally humble, honest, compassionate, gutsy, hardworking, intellectually
gifted, prayerful and wise leader."
