From Maimbung to Congress: Samier Tan's Steady Leadership of Sulu

A Record in Focus

In Sulu's tightly woven political landscape, few figures carry a dual identity as telling as Samier Abubakar Tan—a man still widely called "Cong-Mayor," a title that reflects both memory and measure. It clings to this man the way earned titles do — not as a relic of the past, but as a mark of continuity.

Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

Twenty-five years ago I taught Self Mastery in the Business Department of Assumption College. Based on Eduardo Morato’s Self Mastery, there are different kinds of learning we must pursue: learning how to think, to feel, to intuit, to lead, to do, to communicate, to be, and to wonder.
