by Sabrina Salas Matanane
Guam - Aside from being a career diplomat, Philippine Consul General for Guam, Marciano R. de Borja is also an established author. At the University of Guam this afternoon a launch ceremony was held for his latest book” The State Department Boys: Philippine Diplomacy and Its American Heritage”. His book is set in the 1940's and focuses on a group of pioneer diplomats chosen to become the first officer corps of the Philippine Foreign Service, who became affectionately known as the “State Department Boys.” The group played pivotal roles in Philippine diplomacy and helped the Philippine Republic find its place in the international community. This is Consul General de Borja's third book.
