The Center for Research and Communication launched the latest edition of The Book of Virtues and Values by Dr. Bernardo Villegas, on August 14, 2015 at UA&P.

He speaks of the Filipino’s many endearing strengths and, most importantly, makes a forthright assessment of his weaknesses,” Estrada wrote. “But he does not end there. What is, in my opinion, the book’s biggest contribution to Philippine Society is that it offers a roadmap and tool kit to live a meaningful, productive and compassionate life.” Click on the video below for Dr. Villegas’ speech at the launch:
