Track Record of Presidentiables - Part III

Since in the last two posts of this series I have listed down each presidentiables record in government as well as their educational attainment we go on to other things of noteworthy importance that they have done, e.g. other work experience, notable accomplishments.  Now I only list concrete things and not any of the airy statements which have no grounding at all or for which the presidentiable did not actually work for (i.e. being a child of famous people, personalities), and I don’t list down things candidates say they want to do, only things they have done, as actions speak louder than words, nor do i list accomplishments already laid down as law and is already expected as part of a position held (i.e. build schools as mayor, etc..), we will get to all of that later!

Most of the information comes from, as usual, wikipedia and ph.politicalarena.com.
