About Arturo Tolentino

Arturo "Ka Turing" Modesto Tolentino was a Filipino politician, lawyer, and diplomat who served as the Senate president and the Secretary of Foreign Affairs. He was the vice-presidential running mate of Ferdinand Marcos in the 1986 Philippine election, which led to the ouster of Marcos in the People Power Revolution. Tolentino was first elected as representative for Manila's 3rd district in 1949; he was the first representative of the district following its establishment that year through the revised Manila city charter. However, according to the official COMELEC tally, Tolentino won over Laurel with a margin of approximately one million votes. He won a gold medal award as valedictorian at UP in 1938, and was valedictorian of the UP College of Law (1934). As a debater and orator, he won seven gold medals (including the Quezon Medal) and two silver cups.
