Legendary Filipina politician Miriam Defensor Santiago owns over a million books in her private library. A former member of her country's executive and judicial branches and a current legislator, Senator Santiago has also served the Philippines as a lawyer and judge. A recent presidential candidate, Santiago was just presented with one more book for her shelves—a copy of the Book of Mormon.

The gift was given by Brother Elvin Laceda, a local Church member. "Senator . . . Santiago has been an inspiration for me as well as for other Filipino youth," he said. "She's . . . known for her morale and integrity."
