mar & dinggoy roxas

Sen. Mar Roxas had a younger brother who was being groomed, and was already in politics when he passed away at a very young age. I remember seeing him once at the United Nations in New York City, with his mother Judy Araneta Roxas He looked so cool, in slashed-in-the-knees faded jeans, and a blue blazer.

Mar went to Wharton, at the same time that Bonget Marcos and Le Antonio (now Lagdameo) were also there. I rememeber seeing Mar in the streets of Manhattan.He worked for Bankers Trust, maybe with a little help from Lin Ilusorio and Joanne de Asis (now Benitez), and perhaps, maybeee....the Araneta fortune. Well after all, Mar was from the Honors class of Ateneo and Wharton.

When Dinggoy passed away, Mar reluctantly had to step into his shoes.
