A journey of struggle and hope / Jovito R. Salonga. - Quezon City : Center for Leadership, Citizen and Democracy, National College of Public Administration and Governance, U. P., c2001. - xvi, 516 pages : illustrations 23 cm.

To read Jovy Salonga's book is to help us relive many memorable experiences in times of crisis or in moments of our peoples' triumph and deliverance from oppression and injustice. Throughout this book, Jovy weaves his own life story into our nation's history. It is good that Jovy has presented us with an intimate autobiography, that also provides us with a moral assessment of our public life as a nation, striving to regain and rebuild our democracy. It is also a personal testament to a man's search for meaning and purpose as a devout Christian and political leader. I hope that many of our young people will read Jovy's book as I am sure they will be inspired by his intense nationalism and his dedication to public service."---Corazon C. Aquino, President of the Philippines, 1986-1992.
