Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
Jose de Venecia, Jr. - so recent and so long Speaker, that it's
still difficult not to call him Mr. Speaker. JDV has
been a major player on The Philippines political scene for four
decades. Seemingly everywhere at once during his two stints
as Speaker, once in the 1990s and again from 2001-2008, he was the
man to go to for getting things done.
Join us as The Speaker
reviews
his career, his causes, and his vision for The
Philippines.
Copies of Brett M. Decker's book, Global Filipino: The
Authorized Biography of Jose de Venecia, Jr., will be
available for purchase in conjunction with The Speaker's
presentation. Mr. Decker, an award-winning journalist based
in Washington, D.C., was previously stationed in Hong Kong as an
editor and editorial page writer for The Wall Street
Journal.
