Mr. Mar Roxas is a Senator of the Republic of the Philippines, where he is popularly known as “MAR.” He has been in public service for 14 years. First elected to public office in 1993 to represent his district in Capiz Province in the House of Representatives, he later served as Majority Leader of the Lower House.

In 2000, MAR was appointed Secretary of the Department of trade and Industry (DtI). In this vantage position, he saw the potential of the Philippines as a global It outsourcing destination and developed the program “Make It Philippines.” thus, among the many pioneering programs he started while DtI Secretary were the establishment of high-technology industry centers and the promotion of the business process outsourcing (BPO) market in the Philippines, particularly call center operations. He organized the first It-enabled services (ItES) mission to the United States, which opened the country’s doors to the multibillion dollar industry. today, the Philippines’s It and e-services sector has achieved 100 percent growth over the last five years and is contributing roughly P1 billion annually to the economy.

MAR was elected No. 1 senator of the country in 2004, garnering nearly 20 million votes – the highest ever obtained by any official in Philippine history. As senator, he has consistently demonstrated an independent, inquiring, and perceptive mind. Up to the present, he consistently ranks No. 1 among Philippine public officials in trust ratings in nationwide surveys.

He is also the Executive Vice-President of the Liberal Party, one of the oldest and most respected political parties in the Philippines.

MAR’s accomplishments have been acknowledged both at home and abroad. He is recognized by the World Economic Forum as one of the Global Leaders of tomorrow who “is expected to shape the future.” He has also been described as “one of the young leaders in politics and business who will bring Asia and the Pacific to the forefront of world affairs.” A few years ago, the Singapore Government awarded him as the 16th Lee Kuan yew Fellow.

As Senator, the pillars of MAR’s legislative agenda are more affordable medicines, good governance, consumer welfare and protection, job creation and income generation.

MAR graduated from the Ateneo de Manila University in 1974 and the Wharton School of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania in 1979. Before entering public service, he worked as an investment banker, mobilizing venture capital funds for small and medium-scale enterprises.

He is the second son of Prof. Dr. Hasjim Djalal, an Indonesian diplomat and Law of the Sea expert who is one of the architects of the Archipelago State concept. In his early years, Dino Patti Djalal, a native of West Sumatra, moved to various countries to follow his diplomatic family and to pursue his studies: Guinea (Africa), Jakarta, Singapore, Washington DC, New york City, Ottawa and Vancouver. His pre-University years were a mixture of Islamic education (at Muhammadiyyah elementary and Al-Azhar Junior High) and western education (at SIS elementary, Singapore, and at MacLean High School, Virginia).

More recently, he initiated the Policy Brainstorming Session (PBS) forum at the Presidential Palace, an informal policy forum attended by policy makers, diplomats, parliamentarians, religious leaders, think tanks, observers, academics, NGOs – and is frequently attended by President yudhoyono himself.

Dr. Dino has written several books and articles. He wrote “the Geopolitics of Indonesia’s Maritime territorial Policy” (Jakarta: CSIS, 1996); “Penyelesaian Konflik timor timur: Posisi, Opsi, Aspirasi” (Jakarta: ICWA, 1999). He is also editor of “transforming Indonesia” (Jakarta: Gramedia, 2005) and “Indonesia on the Move” (Jakarta: 2007), both books of which contain a collection of President yudhoyono’s international speeches. William Safire has called Dr. Dino “Indonesia’s leading speechwriter”.

Beginning with a fleet of only 5 aircraft in 1956, Vietnam Airlines has been through some dramatic changes to become what it is today. Originally known as Vietnam Civil Aviation, Vietnam Airlines began flying as an independent airline soon after nationalizing Gia Lam Airport. In the ensuing more than fifty one years, Vietnam Airlines has been through many changes. And with every change, it has developed, expanded and improved its service to become an airline of international standard.

In 1976, Vietnam Airlines became known as the General Department of Civil Aviation in Vietnam. that same year the company began full operations, carrying 21,000 passengers, including 7,000 on international flights and 3,000 tones of cargo.

In 1993, the company underwent the final change in name to become Vietnam Airlines. In 1995 Vietnam Airlines Corporation was formed by Vietnam’s Prime Minister. Since that time, Vietnam Airlines has enjoyed remarkable growth in passenger traffic.

Onward to the future, Vietnam Airlines will become a strong group that will aid in the country’s industrialization and modernization and contribute to security and national defense. With a base in air transportation, Vietnam Airlines will diversify its branches and trades, modernize quickly, adopt new techniques and improve itself to become a modern and prestigious airline that embodies Vietnam’s national identity. It will become a leader in the region in terms of high-quality services and business efficacy.

Vietnam Airlines has increased its network in the last 5 years and will continue to expand and add many new international and domestic flights. Currently it operates and codeshares to 38 destinations around the world, in Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East. Domestically Vietnam Airlines flies to 18 destinations.

In 2006, approximately 6.8 million people chose to travel with Vietnam Airlines. that figure includes over 3.1 million passengers on international flights, and 3.7 million on domestic flights. In the same year, Vietnam Airlines carried 106 thousand tons of cargo.
