"With this book, Senator Tito Guingona reinforces a sadly neglected area of Philippine life: the cult of heroes. He takes the life of different Filipinos, from different levels, interests and time frames, a WWII resistance figure Like Jose Abad Santos, a brilliant student activist of the 1960s like Edgar Jopson, a young obscure worker like Robin Garcia who lost his life rescuing schoolchildren in the terrible earthquake of 1990, and holds them up as role models for a new generation. A most laudable, self-imposed task for a busy legislator."
--Carmel Guerrero Nakpil, Columnist, Ang Pahayanga Malaya
"During these times of changing 'mores', this is a timely chronicle of men and women who not only influenced the course of the country's hsitory but, more importantly, gave relevance to priceless Filipino values."
"The book Gallant Filipino cites the heroism of our race."
--Vicente B. Foz
