Senator, educator, visionary of the Highest order. His legacy on legislative and educational reforms are etched in stone. He authored legislations of lasting impact on the nation and the people he cherished; legislations such as the reformed and enriched educational system, expanded attention to cultural development, access to healthcare, support for farmers, OFWs and senior citizens. His achievements as an educator are encapsulated in his having co-founded the Foundation for Upgrading the Standards of Education (FUSE). Long after this generation passes on to the next, his legacy shall live on as the waves of the ocean kiss the shores of his beloved Balers.
