Human Rights Defender, Champion of Peace. "I met Atty. Ramon R. San Andres, Tio Amon to many, during the height of the people's struggle against the Marcos dictatorship in the early 1980s. It was a brief encounter but it left a deep and lasting impression on me, then a young activist. Beneath the fragile physique was a passionate human rights advocate and peace warrior. I saw a ray of hope in a time of despair." - Maria Leny E. Felix
