 Manila Standard Today -- Sumulong the statesman -- September 02, 2005
Even the giants who were his peers — the likes of Claro M. Recto, Lorenzo Tañada and Jose W. Diokno — acknowledged Sumulong as a “quintessential statesman,” high praise indeed for someone who walked among the cream of the country’s politicians, when that job description attracted the best and the brightest.
The young congressman shot to national prominence with his convincing arguments that despite the act’s defects, it was still better than having nothing because the law was made a basis for the release of war damage payments from the United States.
Later on, when he was already a senator, Sumulong helped remove the onerous provisions from the same law by negotiating with Senator Jose P. Laurel for their repeal, which resulted in the Laurel-Langley revised trade agreement.
