• IN 1998 HIS CONSTITUENTS IN THE SECOND DISTRICT OF TARLAC PROVINCE ELECTED HIM TO THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES. IN 2001 HE WAS REELECTED; THIS WAS HIS OPENING OF HIS INVOLVEMENT IN THE
POLITICS OF THE COUNTRY. IN 2004 HE WAS ELECTED SENATOR. MOST POLITICIANS OF THE PHILIPPINES
CONSIDER THE PRESIDENCY AS THE SUM UP OF A POLITICAL CAREER. THIS WAS NOT THE MINDSET OF PNOY.

PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY. CORRUPTION CASES TOOK THEIR ARRAY AND TURNED UNBEARABLE; THE PEOPLE

ORDINARY CITIZENS PUT UP A POT WHERE EVERYBODY COULD DROP ANY AMOUNT TO SUPPORT THE
PRESIDENCY OF PNOY. AFTER CONSULTING HIS FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AND AFTER HIS SILENT RETREAT HE
CAME OUT ANNOUNCING HE WOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN THE 2010 ELECTION. ON JUNE 9, 2010 THE
PHILIPPINE CONGRESS PROCLAIMED HIM WINNER.
