Ramos House
Lingayen, Pangasinan
For many years on this site was located the rented family house of Narciso Ramos (lawyer, journalist, statesman and diplomat) and Angela Valdez (former English supervisor of Pangasinan Vocational High School).
It was here that their eldest child Fidel, and first daughter Leticia, were born, raised and spent their formative years: Fidel, former Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, former Secretary of National Defense and in 1992 elected 12th President of the Republic of the Philippines, Leticia Ramos Shahani, ambassador, senator and Senate President Pro-Tempore. Gloria Ramos da Rodda, their third child and a Philippine consul, was born in the Pangasinan Provincial Hospital in Dagupan.
The house was destroyed during World War II and the present structure, which now houses family mementos, was constructed in January 1995 through the donations of the Ramos Foundation and the Agpoon family.
