Fidel Ramos was the President of the Philippines between 1992 and 1998. He was the first, and to date the only, non-Roman Catholic president of the Philippines.

Ramos served the Marcos regime for more than 20 years. He was head of the Philippine Constabulary, the country's national police force, and was one of Marcos' trusted advisers. In the 1986 People Power Revolution, Ramos defected from the government and was a key figure in the civilian demonstrations that forced Marcos into exile.

After Aquino assumed the Presidency, she appointed Ramos Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and later Secretary of National Defence. During this time, Ramos personally handled the military operations that crushed nine coup attempts against the Aquino government.

Most of Ramos' term as President was characterized by rapid economic growth and political stability in the country
