Getting to Know Paolo Roxas

WHO IS PAOLO ROXAS?

A lot of netizens were curious when a meme featuring the 'Presidential sons' was circulating online. Baste Duterte is representing his father in sorties, while Grace Poe's son Brian Llamanzares is not a stranger in the news arena as he was a former CNN news reporter. Junjun Binay? He doesn't need any introduction. He's all over the papers specially last year.



But a lot of people haven't heard much about Paolo Roxas, the only son of Mar Roxas.

In all fairness, these young gentlemen are respectful towards each other. I sincerely admire their professionalism.

Paolo Gerardo Roxas was born on September 9, 1993. He is the son of Mar Roxas with former beauty queen/interior designer Maricar Zaldarriaga. He finished his secondary/high school at the British School Manila and like teens his age, he went on a gap year. Instead of traveling and frolicking in beaches, he chose to work as a microfinance loan officer at Kasagana-Ka. He was assigned at the Montalban, Rizal office. With this job, he engaged in livelihood projects (sari-sari store, livestock). He dealt mostly with housewives who wants to earn extra income. He supervised and also learned about investments, stocks and accounting.

He moved on by working at Messy Bessy as an english tutor. He also juggled while enrolled in the in the Alternative Learning System, an informal instructional program under the Department of Education.

At such young age, he learned to multitask and work effectively!


He enrolled at Yale University Connecticut and pursued a course in Economics. We assume this is influenced by his dad.

Another interesting trivia about the young Roxas is he can speak Mandarin! He took up lessons at the Harvard-Beijing Academy. Last summer, he spent some time at the London School of Economics.

Paolo Roxas is already on his third year at the Yale University, but currently on break in order to help his dad this campaign season. Personally, I am impressed with how his parents raised him.

Also, he is a looker!

Here are some videos of Paolo Roxas:

Paolo Roxas, we are looking at you. We're hopeful that you'll stay at your father's side and who knows, you might also be the future president of the country (he has some resemblance with the present Canadian Prime Minister!)
