" Carlos P. Romulo "

Standing amidst the crowd, along roxas blvd and almost in front of a hotel,
upright while raising its right hand is a statue of this friendly looking figure.
But like any monuments, we only have a vague idea of him.

An excerpt from this site answers.com .

"Carlos P. Romulo (1899-1985) was an author and the foremost diplomat of the Philippines. He was the only Filipino journalist to win the Pulitzer Prize and the first Asian to serve as president of the UN General Assembly (1949).
He also gained prominence as America's most trusted Asian spokesman."
