MONTANO, CESAR "BUBOY" M.: SLB Profile


Birth Name: Cesar Manhilot

Date of Birth: August 1, 1962

Place of Birth: Sta. Ana, Manila



EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND:

Elementary: Sta. Ana Elementary School

College: Engineering, Lyceum



CITATIONS AND LIABILITIES:

Tourism Secretary Ace Durano, speaking for T.E.A.M. Unity, was quoted to have said the replacement for Petilla needed to be Visayan like the governor. Montano, whose real name is Cesar Manhilot, is from Bohol. Moreover, Montano is well-respected in the Visayas and has provided “strong support” to MalacaƱang’s 10-point agenda, Durano said.


On May 19, 2005, Cesar Montano was sworn in as United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization or UNESCO Philippine commissioner for culture and the arts. This came as a surprise to most Filipinos because he is better known for his award-winning roles in critically acclaimed movies Rizal, Muro Ami than his principles and beliefs. His vocal support for Bohol and the preservation of its heritage and environment, he says, may have earned him the nomination to the UNESCO. But he did not seek the honor.
