Envisioning a progressive Philippines

Respected names from the government and business circles showed their support for the visionary Jose “Joey” Leviste Jr. as he launched his recent book titled If The Philippines Had A Lee Kuan Yew at the McKinley Room of the Manila Polo Club in Makati City. Together with his ever-supportive family – wife Jenny, son Jojo and wife Madeline and granddaughters Josephine and Annika – several of Joey’s closest friends and colleagues also attended the noteworthy event including former president Fidel V. Ramos, former prime minister Cesar Virata, former secretary of economic planning Dr. Gerardo Sicat, former chairman of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority Felicito Payumo, BizNewsAsia founder and publisher Tony Lopez and Social Weather Stations (SWS) president Dr. Mahar Mangahas. Congratulations Joey for this remarkable achievement!
