Enough with this Mar Roxas did not graduate from Wharton. He did.
Through National
Clearinghouse, an agency that validates alumni information with corresponding
fees, Manuel Araneta Roxas II a.k.a Mar Roxas was confirmed to have graduated
at the prestigious Wharton School of Economics at the University of
Pennsylvania in 1979. He took up Bachelor of Science in Economics. Economics.
Freaking Economics. The subject that many students avoid due to headache
inducing figures, out of this world charts and nosebleed inducing formulas. It
is among the subjects revered by the highly intellectuals for it’s profound
nature. And if you would say that it’s JUST Economics in Wharton, you deserve
to be bitch slapped. A slot in Wharton School of Economics is very difficult to win. Application is tough and requirements are numerous. Of course people who weren’t educated abroad wouldn’t know this.
IN the Philippines, you can be accepted to a university with minimal qualifications. You can’t do that abroad. The battle for a single slot especially in a top-ranking university is ruthless. Mar, being able to have procured himself one of this slot, is just tantamount to him being one of the cream of the crop. Crème-ala-crème if you please. Not to mention, he actually graduated and was able to comply with all the rigorous requirements in order to get his degree.
You see, he is more than just an Araneta-Roxas. He is a Wharton educated individual, trained in Economics. Education wise, you can’t top that.
Experience is the best teacher, no
doubt about that. Mar had the best exposure to both legislative and executive
branches of the government. He was at he Secretary of the Department of
Interior and Local Government, Secretary of the Department of Trade and
Industry, Secretary of the Department of Transportation and Communications, and
was a Senator for six years. He started at the Congress as the representative
of the first district of Capiz.
Among his many achievements, the Roxas Law orRepublic Act 7880 is probably the best in terms of long term development and proper distribution of social welfare. He prioritized education by making sure that there is a fair distribution of budget among provinces. This man knows how to tackle grassroots problems, and that is starting with educating the people. Another of his remarkable achievement is that during his stint as the DTI secretary. Here he was widely remembered for his moniker as the Mr. Palengke.
And why wouldn’t the public recognize him? He was the one who strongly pushed the development of markets a.k.a palengke as the primary component of the country’s economy. He saw the promising contributions of small or big trading places as a catalyst to a robust economy. He saw the prospect; he paved the way to make these potential benefits possible. Our man sure knows how to apply what he learned from Wharton!
Finally, his time in the Senate. He is one of those prolific senators who came to the office to actually work and be useful. During his time, he authored a total of 43 bills and brought 46 resolutions to the Congress. While during the 14th Congress, one of the most important of his legislative agenda was the Tax Exemption for Minimum Wage Earners Bill (Senate Bill No. 103). Many people attack him and question his credibility of empathizing with the masses. People always say that he cannot feel the daily struggles of the regular employees because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. But why then, did he file that bill? Because he knows the suffering of the people. He knows, and he acted. With this bill, millions of minimum wage earners can breath a little easier knowing they can spend all of their hard earned salary on things that are necessary – food, shelter, clothing.

This Mar Roxas, a man endowed with the
best possible educational training in running a country, is also experienced in
actually running it, and reaping desirable
results like no other candidate can.
Best Exposure in both legislative and executive branches? Kanino mo siya na-compare? Kay Grace Poe, Duterte at Binay lang? Get your data right.
