pls. forgive me, but SHE HAS TO WIN. ---------- hey peeps! we at econ are trying our best to campaign for one of the best economics professors we've ever had. if ms. monsod wins as senator, it will truly be a loss to the school of economics but it really doesn't matter just as long as she continues to serve our country with the same fire, passion and dedication we have seen. we believe wholeheartedly in the capabilities of this outstanding woman. we hope that you would too. pls campaign for her in your own respective ways. thank you. =) Change for the Good by Diana Collas My sister Winnie Monsod is running for a seat in the Philippine Senate.Although she is well known and has excellent name recognition in Manila, this may not be the case in the outlying areas. Time is of the essence,and therefore I am writing you to please do whatever you can to help her candidacy along in your part of the Philippines. She is highly intelligent: She graduated Cum Laude from the University of the Philippines with a Bachelors degree in Economics. She has a Masters in Economics from the prestigious Wharton School of Business in Pennsylvania, where she was consistently on the Dean's list.

She is exceptionally disciplined: You cannot write a weekly column for three respected local newspapers, teach Economics at the University of the Philippines, and actively participate in deliberative discussions with international bodies like the United Nations Committee for Development Policy in New York and the International Food and Research Institute in Washington and do everything as well as she does unless you are extremely disciplined. She has integrity: At one point, while a member of Cory Aquino's cabinet as Secretary of the NEDA (National Economic & Development Authority), she traveled to the US and one Philippine newspaper reported that she was the only one of many sent abroad who returned the unused portion of her per diem allotment. This is certainly not the first time Winnie has been asked to run for a senate position. But this is the only time she has committed herself to do so. When she asked for my opinion, as a sister, I gave her to understand that if highly competent, highly caring individuals of the Philippines did not choose to make themselves available for public service, then she and such other like minded individuals should not criticize some poor excuse of wannabe public servants who at least have the guts to try. Winnie is running and I sincerely think she should be given the opportunity to serve, and I assure you, she will serve well. It occurs to me that this election is an excellent opportunity to put competent, caring people into office so that necessary changes and good government programs can be set in place. If the electorate do not choose well, then they should not wring their hands and weep over "pobre Filipinas." Diana G.

My sister Winnie Monsod is running for a seat in the Philippine Senate.Although she is well known and has excellent name recognition in Manila, this may not be the case in the outlying areas. Time is of the essence,and therefore I am writing you to please do whatever you can to help her candidacy along in your part of the Philippines.
She is highly intelligent: She graduated Cum Laude from the University of the Philippines with a Bachelors degree in Economics. She has a Masters in Economics from the prestigious Wharton School of Business in Pennsylvania, where she was consistently on the Dean's list. As a matter of fact, the dean of the School of Economics at the time, Raymond Whittlesey, wrote a letter to my father, calling Winnie a "wonder girl."

She has integrity: At one point,
while a member of Cory Aquino's cabinet as Secretary of the NEDA (National
Economic & Development Authority), she traveled to the US and one Philippine
newspaper reported that she was the only one of many
sent abroad who returned the unused portion of her per diem allotment.
This is certainly not the first time Winnie has been asked to run for a
senate position. But this is the only time she has committed herself to
do so. When she asked for my opinion, as a sister, I gave her to understand
that if highly competent, highly caring individuals of the Philippines
did not choose to make themselves available for public service, then she
and such other like minded individuals should not criticize some poor excuse
of
wannabe public servants who at least have the guts to try.
Winnie is running and I sincerely think she should be given the opportunity to serve, and I assure you, she will serve well.
It occurs to me that this election is an excellent opportunity to put competent, caring people into office so that necessary changes and good government programs can be set in place. If the electorate do not choose well, then they should not wring their hands and weep over "pobre Filipinas."
