# Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation poster 149a, page 1 (English, Manila)

Page 1 of a two-page English-language sheet. A black panel carries a Longfellow quotation and text on Ramon Magsaysay and the Award Foundation established in June 1957 to recognise outstanding persons in Asia; two photographed faces of the 1958 medal sit below a large red title. The tell is glittering-generalities and transfer: words such as freedom-loving, duty and peace are attached to the dead president's name and the medal.

## Text on the object

Original (English) · read from the image, not independently checked

```
"LIVES of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime
And departing leave behind us,
Footprints in the sands of time."

FREEDOM-LOVING men like Ramon
Magsaysay derive satisfaction in seeing
their fellowmen live in peace,
prosperity and happiness. To them,
nothing transcends the call of duty--
duty to God and country.

IN JUNE 1957, the Ramon Magsaysay
Award Foundation was established
to give recognition to outstanding
persons in Asia whose lives and
activities are characterized
by the spirit of service
and ideals of
Magsaysay.

THE
RAMON
MAGSAYSAY
AWARD
FOUNDATION
