| Info | Alyansa ng Pag-Asa vice-presidential candidate Herminio �Hermie� Aquino, based on experience, training and parentage, is the best choice for vice-president in the coming May 2004 elections, says Alyansa presidential standard bearer Raul Roco.
Aquino was a congressman of the third district of Tarlac from 1987 to 1998 and vice governor of Tarlac from 1998 to 2000. As congressman, he was chairman of the committee on energy and was the principal author of the law creating the Mt. Pinatubo Commission.
He was Deputy Executive Secretary and Minister, Ministry of Human Settlements from 1986 to 1987 during the Corazon Aquino administration.
All these positions add up to more than 15 years of solid, wide-ranging public service, more than the public service years of the other vice-presidential candidates.
He is the child of Gen. Servillano Aquino and Belen Sanchez of Tarlac. Gen. Aquino was a hero of the fight for Philippine independence against the Spanish and American colonizers.
He is the uncle of Ninoy Aquino Jr. and the grandfather of Noynoy and Kris Aquino.
All these makes for excellent celebrity status for a candidate which some sectors say is relatively unknown.
Hermie Aquino is an A.B. economics graduate of Ateneo University (1969) where he graduated with second honors and has a masters degree in business management from the Asian Institute of Management (1971).
Before he was drafted for the vice-presidency, he was chairman and president of Buenavista Management Corporation, a management consultancy firm.
As vice-president, Aquino will be Raul Roco�s man on energy, a crucial issue in the Philippines which has a lot of untapped energy resources but still much dependent on imported oil. Adding to his credibility is the fact that he is not linked to a big and controversial energy interest unlike the two other vice-presidential bets.
He is married to Ma. Victoria R. Guanzon with whom he has four children: R. Servillano II, Paolo Antonio, Ma. Theresa Belinda and Ma. Camille Corazon.
