As the eldest son of President Joseph Marcelo Ejercito Estrada and Senator Luisa Pimentel-Ejercito Estrada, it is not surprising that like his parents, the Filipino masses have a special place in the heart of Senator Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada, along with siblings, Jacqueline Ejercito-Lopez and Jude Ejercito.
In 1989, he was married to Ma. Presentacion “Precy” Vitug-Ejercito whom he was blessed with four wonderful and beautiful children, namely, Janella Marie, Joseph Luis Manuel, Julian Emilio and baby Julienne.
Senator Jinggoy finished his primary and secondary education at the Ateneo de Manila University and earned a degree in A.B. Economics from the University of the Philippines. He took up Bachelor of Laws for four (4) years at the Lyceum University while serving as Vice-Mayor at the Municipality of San Juan at a young age of 25 and eventually Mayor. In 1992, he became the youngest ever elected-local chief executive in the entire nation at age 29.

Miriam then flew to Metro Manila to take up law at UP Diliman. As a freshman in law school, she topped written examinations and was appointed editor-in-chief of the law school paper.
Miriam is best remembered in the state university for breaking a record of 50 years of male dominance, by topping the written examinations and getting appointed as the first female editor-in-chief of the nationally prominent student newspaper, the Philippine Collegian. Another record was that she twice received the Vinzons Achievement Award for excellence in student leadership. Another record was that she became the first female to win as Best Debater in the annual debate between UP Diliman and UP Manila law schools.
Miriam graduated Bachelor of Laws, cum laude, from the state university. She was valedictorian of her class at the UP Diliman campus. (At that time, there was an evening law school for working students at UP Manila).
After marriage, Miriam won the DeWitt Fellowship at the University of Michigan law school. Thus, she earned the degree Master of Laws after one year, and the degree Doctor of the Science of Jurisprudence, after only six months. Her grades qualified her for the prestigious Barbour Scholarship. Her doctoral dissertation, with Prof. William W. Bishop, Jr. as supervisor, was later published as Political Offences in International Law.
Not content with her law doctorate, 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.
Already a senator, she finished with high grades the academic requirements for the degree, Master of Arts in Religious Studies, at the Maryhill School of Theology in Metro Manila.

Senator Rodolfo G. Biazon was born on April 14, 1935 in Batac, Ilocos Norte. His father Rufino Biazon, was a doughmaker then while his mother Juliana Gaspar, was a clotheswasher. His father died and left him along with his mother and three younger sisters when he was seven years old. At a young age of eight, he and his sisters had already experienced great hardship, especially during the Japanese regime. Like any other poor family during those times, Senator Biazon and family had to work very hard to make ends meet. Living in a makeshift shanty in Cavite, they had to peddle food, collected bottles and newspapers, which were later sold in order to earn a living for the family. In spite of this poverty, it did not stop him from obtaining his education.
He enrolled as a Grade One student at the age of eleven, in 1946. In order to support his education, and at the same time look for ways to earn money to feed the family, he went to school in the morning and worked in the afternoon. He would collect seashells in Manila Bay which were in turn sold at the market. He studied in Jose Rizal Elementary School, Pasay City, for his primary education where he graduated salutatorian. He continued working, washing clothes for other people in order to sustain his high school education at the Jose Abad Santos High School located at the Arellano University, Pasay City in 1955. He also graduated from this school with honors. He stopped doing laundry and instead worked as a laborer in then Highway 54 now known as EDSA, this time to sustain his college education in FEATI where he took mechanical engineering.
Early in life, ‘Pong’, as he is fondly called, has already shown his patriotism when he chose to enter the Philippine Military Academy in 1957 despite having passed the examinations in the West Point and the US Naval Academy. He then met Ms. Monserrat Narag Bunoan whom he met through a classmate. Eight months after his graduation in the Philippine Military Academy, he eventually married Monchie. They had three children, Rita Rosanna, Rino Rudiyardo and Rozzano Rufino, who are all successful in their own fields.

As a freedom fighter, Senator Arroyo has had his share of physical and mental tortures having been incarcerated in a military stockade, gassed, injured and hospitalized during protest rallies. During the snap elections in 1986, he served as counsel of Mrs. Corazon Aquino.
Seldom do we have a Filipino leader who has so much ardor and commitment both as a human rights lawyer and freedom fighter. Senator Joker P. Arroyo has a long history of these traits by handling more human rights cases than any other lawyer from 1972-1986. A graduate of the UP College of Law and the Ateneo de Manila, his meteoric rise to national consciousness started when he challenged before the Supreme Court of the Philippines the constitutionality of Proclamation No. 1081 imposing martial law.

It is in his bloodline. It is in his heritage. For him, democracy restored must  be enshrined  without fear but with greatest fervor.
Benigno Simeon “Noynoy†C. Aquino III, like second nature is both a fiscalizer, who relentlessly espouses public accountability, and a staunch advocate of liberal democracy.
Proof of   this is his   platform “Bantay Demokrasya: Dugong Bayani: Pusong Bayani,†a continuance of the legacy of his parents, former Senator and martyr Benigno “Ninoy “ Aquino, Jr. and former President Corazon C. Aquino.
The defense of democracy nearly cost Noynoy his life. He was almost killed during the military coup against President Aquino in 1990 when he met retreating rouge soldiers at the front gates of Malacañang. Three of his bodyguards died while he suffered five bullet wounds. A bullet is still embedded in his neck.
A graduate of economics at the Ateneo de Manila University, Noynoy fancies Chinese food and is a shooting and billiards enthusiast.
