<p>[QUOTE=&quot;see323, post: 214464, member: 8291&quot;]Acquired these two 1949 series beauties today. </p><p><br /></p><p>Philipppines uncirculated 10 Pesos with serial number 888888. Both are signed by different president of Philippines. Both notes are signed by Acting and Governor of the Central Bank of Philippines, Andres V. Castillo. The Presidents were Carlos P. Garcia ( 1957 - 1961 ) and Diosdado Macapagal ( 1961 - 1965 ). </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.notepassion.com/Sales/Philippines%201949%20888888%20pair.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Carlos P. Garcia </b> (November 4, 1896 - June 1, 1971). He presided over the eight months of Magsaysay’s remaining term and went on to win the 1957 elections, “the noisiest and the most expensive in Philippine history.” </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/04/Ph_pres_garcia.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Garcia hailed from Talibon, Bohol. He finished his law studies at the Philippine Law School in Manila. He passed the Bar examinations and was among the top ten. </p><p><br /></p><p>His election as Bohol representative to the National Assemblly in 1952 marked his entry into Philippine politics and public service – one of the longest ever. He was again reelected as a representative. In 1931, he started the first of this three terms as governor of Bohol. In 1941, he was elected as a senator, but it was only in 1945 that he took office because of World War II. He was again reelected as a senator and in 1953, he became Vice President to Magsaysay. He was appointed in a concurrent capacity as secretary of foreign affairs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Garcia’s administration (1957 - 1961) was anchored in his austerity program. It was also noted for its Filipino First policy – an attempt to boost economic independence. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Diosdado Macapagal </b>(September 28, 1910). He defeated Garcia in the presidential elections of November 14, 1961. </p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ab/Ph_pres_macapagal.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Mapacagal – who styled himself as the “poor boy” from Lubao (Pampanga) – completed pre-law and Associate in Arts at UP; however, he was a law graduate of the University of Santo Tomas. He was the topnotcher of the Bar examinations in 1935. He then entered into a private law practice, teaching law at the side. In 1946, he was appointed Chief of the Legal Division of the Department of Foreign Affairs and was eventually sent to the Philippine Embassy in Washington as Second Secretary. </p><p><br /></p><p>In 1949, he was elected as the congressman of the first district of Pampanga and reelected in 1953. In 1958, he was elected as Vice President of the Philippines. </p><p><br /></p><p>Macapagal’s administration (1961 - 1965) is best remembered for resetting the date of the celebration of Philippine Independence Day – from July 4 when the U.S. turned over the reins of government in 1946 to the more correct date of June 12 when Aguinaldo declared independence in 1898. This single act overshadowed the other distinguishing features of his administration, namely: the promotion of the stability of the Philippine currency; the initiation of a socioeconomic program aimed at the betterment of the poor; efforts to combat misdeeds in government, and the launching of his version of agrarian reform. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
