CITATIONS AND LIABILITIES:

For his business achievements, he was made cover story in the Far Eastern Economic Review. And his life story was also featured in Asiaweek, Forbes, AsiaMoney and Asian Business Review.

He garnered various awards such as the Ten Outstanding Young Men Award (1986) by the Philippine Jaycees, Agora Award for Outstanding Achievement in Marketing Management (1989), Most Outstanding CPA by the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (1990) and Most Outstanding UP Alumnus (1991).

In a stunning political debut in 1992, Villar won with the most overwhelming mandate among congressmen in Metro Manila. He promptly applied his economic and managerial expertise as a key member of the House’s economic team, marshalling in economic reform measures of the Ramos Administration such as the New Foreign Investments Act and the restructuring of the Central Bank of the Philippines. He was the House representative in the government’s negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington D.C. in 1992.

He also oversaw various infrastructure projects in his districts like the construction of concrete roads and the Alabang-Zapote Flyover. He introduced the “Friendship Route” to ease the traffic problems in southern Manila by persuading subdivision homeowners to open up their roads to the general public.

A staunch environmentalist, he initiated a privately funded tree planting drive in his district. He developed a P10-million tree nursery beside his home. He also quietly led a dedicated tree-planting drive complete with maintenance and watering of tree seedlings planted in the open spaces of the community.

When he realized that many poor students could not go to school because they do not even have fare money, he organized the “Manpower on Wheels” Program, a livelihood training school housed in a van that makes the rounds in depressed areas. The program has since produced more than 5,000 graduates and has been awarded by various government and civic organizations for its innovative scheme.

For his constituency work and personal vow, he extended grants of home sites to some 10,000 poor families in Barangay CAA, Las Piñas City. Two major roads were also opened in his district; the Sucat-Pulanglupa Link Road to Parañaque and the Zapote-Molino (Daang Hari) Link Road to Cavite, thus alleviating the traffic congestion in the area.

During his second term, he was able to upgrade the Las Piñas District Hospital with a new building and better facilities. He also launched the “Sagip-Bukas” Drug Prevention Program on all the private and public schools of Las Piñas to educate the youth about the dangers of drug abuse. He also nationalized the Las Piñas High School to upgrade its facilities.

In 1995, Manny Villar ran for re-election and won an unprecedented 142,000 votes, the highest number of votes for a congressman in the entire country. Winning media acclaim as an outstanding congressman as well as the respect and recognition of his peers, he was elected to chair the Committee on Entrepreneurship.

It was no surprise then to those in the know when he gained the remarkable acclaim of 171 of 220 congressmen as the Speaker of the 11^th Congress of the House of Representatives.

On November 13, 2000, he became the first House Speaker in Philippine history to impeach a President, paving the way for the elevation of the articles of impeachment to the Senate.

In the national elections held last May 14, 2001, despite being a relative newcomer in national politics, Manny Villar posted one of the most impressive showings in the national polls. On his first day in office, he filed 204 bills covering a comprehensive legislative program of action— the first among neophyte senators and the third highest filer among the senators of the 12^th Congress of the Philippines.

Outside the Senate’s halls, Villar actively sponsors Sipag at Tiyaga Caravan Kaalaman, a livelihood training program that provide skills and inspiration to people that will allow them to venture into their own businesses. The caravan travels all over the country conducting livelihood seminars that are consistently widely attended and appreciated.

He has also spearheaded the building of schools, sending out medical missions and setting up relief operations whenever or wherever needed. He led the inauguration of the Las Piñas-Muntinlupa-Laguna-Cavite (LPMLC) link road, more popularly known as Daang Hari, as part of his road improvement program aimed at easing traffic in the south of Metro Manila. According to him, an efficient and rationalized road network is one of the fundamental requirements in improving commerce and spurring economic progress.

In February 2004, he was elected as President of the Nacionalista Party—the country’s oldest and grandest political party. He was also named the Most Distinguished UP Alumnus—the highest recognition given by the UP Alumni Association—for his exemplary public service and achievements.

STAND ON CHARTER CHANGE ISSUE:

THE Senate will block all Charter change attempts without its nod, even as the administration-dominated House vowed for a "final push" for a shift to a parliamentary system of government, said said Senate President Manuel Villar.

He said the odds of getting the Constitution amended or revised was nil, and that the constituent assembly that the House is foisting is doomed without the Senate's participation.

But Villar over the weekend told members of the local media in Cagayan de Oro that the administration's ferocious campaign to resurrect the Charter change campaign -- after the people's initiative was junked with finality by the Supreme Court -- can't be downplayed.

"I am 80 percent certain that Charter change will not succeed and that elections will push through next year," said Villar.

The Senate, he said, was open for a constituent assembly -- or any constitutionally sanctioned method for Charter change, for that matter -- as long as this will be accomplished after the 2007 elections.

STAND ON CHARTER CHANGE ISSUE:

Trillanes has urged the public to keep "vigilant" and not let the constituent assembly effort at the House of Representatives "trample upon" their right to vote.

Trillanes also warned the administration and its allies that their attempts to rewrite the 1987 Constitution were bound to fail since he was "confident that the people would unite against it."

Trillanes, who acted as spokesman for the mutineers that had identified themselves as members of the Magdalo group, said he decided to run since he could no longer "helplessly watch the incessant rape of our people's dignity and our country's wealth."

"I believe the elections are the only peaceful avenue left for the Filipinos to effect change in leadership of this country," he said.

On efforts by pro-administration congressmen to rush amendments to the Constitution via a constituent assembly, Trillanes said: "I am therefore calling on the people to be vigilant in the coming days to ensure that our right to choose our own leaders is not trampled upon."

"The problem is not in the system [of government]. The problem is the people running the system," he added.

Trillanes said pro-administration lawmakers were bold enough to skirt their own rules and convene as a constituent assembly, thinking that Filipinos had grown "apathetic."
