    Manuel V. Pangilinan came from a humble family tree who shares the same determination to achieving their dreams with a tedious stride up to the ladder of success. Born in July 14, 1946, Pangilinan also known as MVP is the second son of Mr. Dominador Pangilinan who had proven that a simple messenger can indeed become a president of a bank. Yes, his father started as a messenger at Philippine National Bank but retired as the president of Traders Royal Bank. This though is not the first success story in the Pangilinan family for his grandfather was actually just a simple public teacher in Pampanga and Tarlac who became a superintendent of public schools and eventually became the secretary of education…

    What if Ninoy Aquino is still alive?

    Sometimes I do wonder “What if Ninoy is still alive?” ”What will happen to the Philippines?”. I have the idea of having Ninoy Aquino as our president and everything will be in order, I also imagine that our country will be prosperous. Less crime and corruption can be attained because I believe that he will be a powerful official who can influence all Filipinos like what he did before, I think that the citizens will have high respect for him because he was able to make a change. But on the video that the class had seen Ninoy said that he is not interested anymore in becoming the president at that moment he just wants the Filipinos to see and feel the freedom and exercise their rights. I think if ever Ninoy will be alive at this point he will establish charities that will help all those who are poor and active in participating in organizations that will promote well-being. I also think that he will remain simple and guide his son to effectively rule the country. How I wish that he’s still alive so that he can see the state of our country, I think he will be disappointed in us because we have failed to become a responsible person in this nation, but maybe he…

    Corazon Aquino was the 11th president and first female president of the Philippines. She restored democracy after the long dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos. She was known as the “Mother of Democracy” of the Philippines for she led the revolution, the culmination of a battle for freedom that was her husband's advocacy. It was a battle she won, and a victory that gave us back our nation's democracy. As President, Aquino oversaw the promulgation of the 1987 Constitution, which limited the powers of the Presidency and re-established the bicameral Congress. Her administration gave strong emphasis and concern for civil liberties and human rights, and on peace talks to resolve the ongoing Communist insurgency and Islamist secession movements. Her economic policies centered on restoring economic health and confidence and focused on creating a market-oriented and socially responsible economy.…
