The Living Legend in The Philippine Politics

        A General election in the Philippines is scheduled for May 9, 2016 for executive and legislative branches for all levels of government national, provincial, and local, except for the barangay (village) officials. The most important in this election is the Presidential Candidates that will rule our country. For me, Miriam Defensor Santiago is the best candidate for the President.

         In picking the candidate for the  President you should consider many things to know that he/she is the best leader and deserving for that position. First you should consider the Academic Awards or excellence that they have. Miriam Defensor Santiago is the best politician, professor and a public servant that I know. She flew to Manila to take up law in UP Diliman. She topped written examinations and won the campus wide election as councilor in the University Council. She really starts well when she was in college.  She made history by posting the highest number of consecutive college scholarships in the state university. Her academic excellence continue not only here in the Philippines but also in America. She studied at the University of Michigan and continue her law school. She won the DeWitt Fellowship as she finish the semester with an A average. Miriam is not contended on having her law doctorate. She flew in different country and continue her law school and other course that she take.Miriam later pursued postdoctoral studies in law at Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Stanford, University of California, at Berkeley, and Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. She attended the Hague Academy of Public International Law at The Hague, Netherlands, and at Sophia University, Tokyo. As we all know, Miriam Defensor Santiago is very qualified in here as she have different degrees, countless awards, record setter and her skills in writing.


        Second is that you should consider the work that they serve for the country, As we all know Miriam has a large number of senate bills and resolutions that she pass. senator has filed a total of 1,324 bills and resolutions as of June 11 2015. Unlike other senators who are always absent in the senate and just corrupting our country. Miriam one said in the senate that her body is the one that is sick not her brain. She prove everyone that she can still serve our country and you can see in here that she is the only senator who is working hard just to pass a certain bill. These are some bills that she made that benfited many Filipinos, among the various bills Santiago has co-authored and which have been enacted into law were the Open Learning and Distance Education Act, the Youth Entrepreneurship Act, the Student-Athletes Protection Act, the Open High School System Act and the Fair Competition Act.She is the only senator that stands by the rule of law. No matter what criticism and battles she will take among other senators she still standing and stresses the importance of following the law and not to mob. Her stand in integrity and justice in governance is unmatchable. No one dares to fight for the corrupt senates and said direct to the point their mistakes and corruption. She is really extraordinary in a way that everyone praise her for her good quality of work and the respect that she gain in her career.

        The last point in here is that you should consider how true is the candidate and what they can do in the country when they become the President. I found Miriam Defensor Santiago as the best leader in our country base on her being practical in things and her intelligence in thinking for the solution in the major problems here in the country. She once said in the debate that we should not be the slave or followers of the americans and chinese because where just following them and that is not a good decision in the country. We have our own decision as a country and we can reinforce our soldiers on our own. She also stresses some point in having poor families her answer is just better than the other candidates because she base it in our time now, she has wider knowledge on how our country will get better and better. Miriam is not a plastic and don't promise anything because as we all know she is not on the words but in the action of the candidate. There is so much advantage of Miriam that other politician because she is doing her best and the right one.

        All in all, Miriam is the best candidate for President because she know everything that she do and she thinks deeply before she made any decision or action that she will do. Her knowledge and excellence are proven base on her works in the senate and for being the hardworking senator. She brings pride in our country and she is now the first ever Filipino to become a judge of the International Criminal Court. Indeed there's so much respect for her and as the significant senator in our country.
