| Miriam Santiago |
The Presidential Candidate that got me and my parent’s attentions was Miriam Defensor. Since I was little, I asked my parents on why they wished for her to, someday. Run for president?
Apparently, they told me that she’s a graduate of UP. She even won an award. The Ramon Magsaysay Award for government Service and the 1985 TOYM Award for Law. She even finished the B.A. Political Science, as her course for only three and a half years. However, she decided to remain in the university for an additional semester and finished her course with an almost perfect grade of 1.1 (1.0 is considered highest.) She graduated magna cum laude in 1965. And many more fascinating stories and achievements are yet to be told in this essay.
The funny thing for me is that my parents were so fascinated by her achievements, that they told me that she might be an alien. So you see, this country needs some genius who is also not afraid to stand for what is right. I think I’ve made my point already clear. Vote for Miriam Defensor!
