Carlos P. Rómulo (1899-1985) was a Filipino politician who wrote and published 18 books.  He served as the President of the Fourth Session of United Nations' General Assembly (1949-1950), and chairman of the United Nations' Security Council.  He served with General Douglas MacArthur in the Pacific, was Ambassador to the United States, and became the first Asian to win the Pulitzer Prize in journalism in 1942.

From 1944 to 1946, Rómulo served as Resident Commissioner of the Philippines to the Unites States Congress.  He was the signatory for the Philippines to the United Nations' Charter, when it was founded in 1946.  He was the Philippines' Secretary of Foreign Affairs under President Elpidio Quirino (1950-1952), under President Diosdado Macapagal (1963-1964), and under President Ferdinand Marcos (1968-1984).  Additionally, Rómulo was a recipient of the Silver Buffalo Award, the highest adult award given by the Boy Scouts of America.

General Romulo, General of the Philippines, stated:                                                              

“Never forget, Americans, that yours is a spiritual country.  Yes, I know you’re a practical people.  Like others, I’ve marveled at your factories, your skyscrapers, and your arsenals.  But underlying everything else is the fact that America began as a God-loving, God-fearing, God-worshipping people.”  ¹
