It is time to make sure that the current and future generations will have the kind of stories which will be told and re-told because they inspire hope, they uplift the spirit, they celebrate triumph over adversities, they nurture a passion to be of genuine service to one's fellow human beings.

Here are the stories of fifteen Ramon Magsaysay laureates, ordinary individuals whose extraordinary lives have made Asia a better place. This is the first of nine (9) volumes on Asia's modern-day heroes and heroines.

This volume, the second in the book series, focuses on thirty-seven Magsaysay laureates from the countries of South Asia. While each country has had a unique social and political history, all have deep spiritual and cultural roots in compassion and self-giving.

Some cool read, this collection of 21 essays from the first four years of the Ramon Magsaysay Student Essay Competition. Winning young writers from high schools, colleges, and universities across the Philippines--and three from Korea--reflect on the inspiring lives and work of Asia's moral heroes.

The biography of the late President Magsaysay deals with his astounding life in political, historical, and personal terms.

The film series My Guy Redux re-introduces Ramon Magsaysay to generations who have not been privileged to know him or live under his dynamic leadership.

Great Men and Women of Asia, Young Pens for Young Minds, Magsaysay the Peoples President and My Guy Redux are available at the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation or visit Anvil Publishing, National Bookstore, Powerbooks, Solidaridad Bookshop, Tradewinds Books Bookmark, and Libros Filipinos Bookshop.

AMAZON.COM carries hardbound versions of Great Men and Women of Asia Volume 1 and Volume 2, Young Pens for Young Minds, and Magsaysay the Peoples President.
