The Liberal Party of the Philippines grieves the death of Dr. Surin Pitsuwan, a respected democracy champion in the region.
As founding president of the Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats, former Thai foreign minister, and ASEAN secretary general, he promoted the region’s integration at the international stage and steered it to new horizons by bringing governments and peoples toward more meaningful dialogue and cooperation.
He will always be a shining beacon of inspiration to Filipinos and all freedom-loving people, especially in these challenging times.
May his life that is truly well-lived continue to shine as the example for those who strive to make this a better world.
