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. Like the previous edition, the book emphasizes that good values can only come from the hard and persevering work of individuals who are struggling to live both human and supernatural virtues.

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:
