Eduardo Cojuangco, Jr.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eduardo Murphy "Danding" Cojuangco, Jr. (born June 10, 1935) is the chairman of San Miguel Corporation, the largest food and beverage corporation in the Philippines, and was a candidate for the Philippine presidency in 1992, ultimately losing to Fidel Ramos. He tested the political waters in 2003, planning to run in the 2004 Presidential and Local Elections, but soon withdrew. He was a close advisor and personal friend to former President Ferdinand E. Marcos, which led him to become estranged from his cousin, Corazon Aquino, who succeeded Marcos as president.
Cojuangco was a member of the Rolex 12, a group of 12 men who were closest to Marcos and allegedly were his enforcers of Martial Law. Cojuangco also was accused by the military men at the scene of the Aquino's assassination, as the leader who orchestrated the crime.
