WHEREAS, the Honorable General
Carlos P. Romulo served the Philippine Government in various
capacities, the most recent of which is as Minister for Foreign
Affairs, where he served for the longest term until, incapacitated by a
weakened physical condition, he had to retire from the government
service on his eighty-fifth birthday in January of this
year;
WHEREAS, General Romulo is the only living signatory to the Charter of
the United Nations, the Bretton Woods Agreement that established the
World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the San Francisco
Peace Treaty with Japan, the Mutual Defense Treaty between the
Philippines and the United States of America, and hundreds of other
international conventions, treaties, covenants, protocols, pacts, and
agreements that have brought about lasting benefits of political,
strategic, military, economic, and cultural advantages to the
Philippines; has brought unprecedented honors to the Philippines and
the Filipino people as the first Asian to serve as the President of the
United Nations General Assembly, as a four-time President of the United
Nations Security Council, and as Chairman if innumerable international
conferences and conclaves; was a Philippine Delegate to the United
Nations, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the United
States of America, and finally was Minister for Foreign Affairs for the
past 14 years;
WHEREAS, since time immemorial it is a universal diplomatic practice
sanctioned by the law of nations that chiefs of diplomatic missions as
well as the heads of diplomacy of host countries display their national
colors as well as the coat of arms of their respective countries in
their residence, which signal honor was never accorded to General
Romulo during his incumbency because of the absence of an official
residence for the Philippine Minister for Foreign Affairs;
WHEREAS, a belated grant of authority to display the national colors
and the Great Seal of the Republic of the Philippines at his residence
is a humble gesture of a grateful nation in acknowledging his manifold
contributions to the nation and in honoring the man who has become a
Philippine legendary figure in diplomacy and a towering personality
among world diplomats; Now, therefore,
Section 1.
Sec. 2. Since 19.07.98.
Approved: March 7, 1984.
