June 10, 2025

Today would've been the 90th birthday of the late Ambassador Eduardo (Danding) Cojuangco and he continues to be remembered by those whose lives were touched by the man fondly known as Boss Danding.

- JOAQUIN M. HENSON

Remembering Boss Danding

In his home province of Tarlac, a tribute to his timeless legacy will be made at the Maria Cristina Park, Old Capitol Building, Tarlac City, today starting at 5:30 p.m.

Boss Danding's daughter Lisa and outgoing Tarlac Governor/Tarlac City Mayor-elect Susan Yap are organizing the celebration. "It is our hope that through this commemoration, especially for the younger generation of Tarlaqueños, Ambassador Cojuangco's life and legacy will continue to serve as a beacon of inspiration," said both prime movers. "His efforts have significantly contributed to the social and economic development of Tarlac and his deep compassion for the welfare of Tarlaqueños remains evident in the many programs and opportunities he initiated."
