Doy Laurel (SIGNED)
Verlag: (Celia Diaz-Laurel, 2005
Erstausgabe Signiert
First edition. Large hardcover book complete in its original pictorial dust jacket. 32 cm. 337 pages followed by an index. Text in English. This copy has been inscribed and signed (to former US Ambassador to the Philippines, Harry K. Thomas, Jr.) by the author directly on the title page. Salvador Roman Hidalgo Laurel (November 18, 1928 - January 27, 2004), also known as Doy Laurel, was Vice-President of the Philippines from 1986 to 1992 under President Corason Aquino and briefly served as Prime Minister from 25 February to 25 March 1986, when the position was abolished. He was a major leader of the United Nationalist Democratic Organization (UNIDO), the political party that helped topple the dictatorship of President Ferdinand Marcos with the 1986 People Power Revolution. It was not until 1967 that Laurel seriously entered politics, when he won a Senate seat in the 6th Congress. The youngest Nacionalista senator, Laurel was named the most outstanding senator from 1968 to 1971. When he won in 1967, Laurel had run ran for the Senate to continue his crusade for justice for the poor. He emerged victorious as the youngest Nacionalista elected senator, and a distinguished public service career, spanning nearly 37 years, began. In his first year as senator, he was Chairman of the Senate Committee on Justice, Committee on Economic Affairs, Committee on Government Reorganization, and Committee on Community Development. He authored five "Justice for the Poor Laws" known as the "Laurel Laws," nine laws on Judicial Reforms (1968-1970); the Government Reorganization Act (1968-1970) and Amendments to the Land Reform Code (1971). He also wrote a book on penal reforms and another on land reform, "This Land Is Mine." He was consistently voted "Most Outstanding Senator of the Year" in 1968, 1969, 1970, and 1971. In 1972, Laurel was the first Philippine government official to visit the People's Republic of China, then under Chairman Mao Zedong. He was met by Premier Zhou Enali, Vice Premier (later President)Li Xinnian, and other high officials of the Chinese government. Upon his return, he submitted an extensive report to the Senate on his China visit. He strongly advocated for the resumption of friendly ties with the PRC and the adoption of the One-China Policy, which eventually became the official stand of the Philippines. For a brief period following the People Power Revolution in late February 1986, Laurel became the only person in Philippine history to hold the posts of Vice-President, Prime Minister, and Foreign Minister concurrently. The office of Prime Minister was abolished in late March 1986, and Laurel was replaced as Secretary of Foreign Affair by Raul Manglapus in 1987. The book is in near fine condition. No other ownership marks/writing present within. Hinges tight, interior pages bright. Moderate edge wear/bumping, rubbing, scratching to the dust jacket. Scarce, especially so when signed.
