My Servant Leader’s Name Field of expertise: Contribution to Society

(e.g., politics, religion,
business, academics, etc.)

Ramon Magsaysay Politics By establishing a share -

tenancy and leasehold
systems, Republic Act No.
119 (Agricultural Tenancy
Act of 1945) regulated the
interaction between
landowners and tenant
farmers. Tenant tenure
security was granted by
legislation. The court of
Agrarian Relations was also
established.

Chel Diokno Politics Has served the Philippines

as a Human Rights Lawyer
and has given free legal
assistance to thousands of
Filipino people. One of his
most notable cases is the
ship of MV Dona Paz,
where he won the case and
had the family of the

Miriam Defensor Santiago Politics The Renewable Energy Act

of 2008 mandated the
government to change the
primary energy source of
the country from coal and
oil into solar, wind, and
other renewable sources,
which resulted in
numerous constructions of
wind and solar plants,
ultimately making the
Philippines the “Wind
 Energy Capital of
Southeast Asia.

What qualities of those servant leaders you mentioned you like best? Why?
Answer:
The politicians mentioned above are widely recognized as strong, competent leaders by the
Filipino community. Their contributions have provided significant change to people’s lives,
especially as they regularly sought out opinions and valued each and every one of them. They
were able to cultivate a culture of trust and ultimately, pioneered a new generation of effective
leaders. Being a good leader transcends intellect and ability; it entails a commitment to the well
- being and growth of their people. Their priorities must be centered on the protection of human
rights and transformative movements for overall change. This is evident in Atty. Chel Diokno’s
platforms and advocacies, which I find extremely admirable. The Philippine justice system is
corrupt and condemns people to a never - ending cycle of unjust punishment. Hence, Diokno’s
efforts to offer concrete solutions to the lack of access to justice are of paramount importance.
What Diokno exhibits here is devotion to the masses, to the disadvantaged. He is a leader to all.
He is someone who keeps in mind the welfare of his people, regardless of their social classes
and political beliefs. I like that his principles emphasize inclusivity, as well as efficiency. HIs
contributions to the Philippine legal and judicial system continue to change the trajectory of so
many Filipino people’s lives.
