the gender of the senator is quite obvious from this anonymous letter. from 1992 to 2001, at one time or other, the following ladies were senators:
Leticia Ramos Shahani
Anna Dominique M.L. Coseteng
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
Santanina T. Rasul
Miriam Defensor Santiago
Teresa Aquino-Oreta
Loren Legarda
what college courses did these ladies graduate from? out of curiosity (and perhaps to try to pin down who this anonymous letter-writer is referring to)...
Leticia Ramos Shahani - Bachelor of Arts in English Literature (Wellesley College in Massachusetts), Master's degree in Comparative Literature (Columbia University in New York), Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo - 2-year Foreign Service study (Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service in Washington, D.C.), Bachelor of Arts in Economics (Assumption College, Manila), Master's Degree in Economics (Ateneo de Manila University), Doctorate in Economics (University of the Philippines Diliman)
Santanina T. Rasul - Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (University of the Philippines, Diliman), Masters in National Security Administration (National Defense College of the Philippines), Doctorate in Public Administration (University of the Philippines' National College of Public Administration and Governance)
Miriam Defensor Santiago - Bachelor of Arts in Political Science (University of the Philippines, Iloilo), Bachelor of Laws (University of the Philippines, Diliman), Master of Laws (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)
Teresa Aquino-Oreta - Bachelor of Arts in Literature and History (Assumption College, Manila), Bachelor in International Studies (Ciudad Ducal, Avila, Spain), Masters in National Security Administration (National Defense College of the Philippines)
Loren Legarda - Bachelor in Broadcast Communications (University of the Philippines, Diliman), special studies towards Professional Designation in Journalism (University of California, Los Angeles), Masters in National Security Administration (National Defense College of the Philippines)
it turns out that it's former senator Anna Dominique M.L. Coseteng who does not hold a college degree.
She did not finish college “because I didn’t find it right that I had to go through all those things required just to get a diploma on my wall. What do I need all this math? I know I’m not good at it or algebra, why do I need to go through that?And why must school be excruciating? Why can’t school be fun? You only want to learn, why do you get punished for making mistakes and then they tell you in this world to try and try and do it over and over until you get it right.†(
