"Few individuals had as important a role as (former President Sergio Osme�) had in the creation of the current reality of the Filipino nation-state. Important stages in the formation of this reality were our apprenticeship in self-government under the Americans, the forging of the Philippine independence that came in 1946, and the post-war reconstruction of the country from the ruins of the Second World War. In all these Pres. Sergio Osme� was a dominant figure."

Thus spoke Dr. Resil B. Mojares one of the country's greater leaders, Don Sergio Osme� whose influential figure dominated the formative period in our history,the years of the active shaping and consolidation of a Filipino government.

The Pres. Osme� Memorabilia is a joint collective effort of College Assurance Plan and Comprehensive Annuity Plans and Pension Corporation, and of the relatives and friends of former President Sergio Osme�. United by their common desire to provide an opportunity for Filipinos to relive the life and times of this great man, CAP and CAP Pension established in 1985 the Pres. Osme� Memorabilia which has since then become a landmark in Cebu City.
