Chavit Singson is launching his political memoir titled "Chavit: Legend of the Philippines," which tells the story of the Ilocano politician who happens to be "the only private individual in the world who led to the impeachment of a Philippine president in 2001," the press statement read.
Apart from telling Singson's story, "Chavit: Legend of the Philippines" also talks about the story of the Philippines over the last 70 years, making it a good read for history buffs, political connoisseurs and even business people.
Not to be mistaken for a biography, "Chavit: Legend of the Philippines" comes in a Q&A format with nearly 700 questions and answers. It is written by Polish author Maciej Mikurda, who devoted 1.5 years to writing the book.
Considered one of the most influential people in the Philippines, Singson was first elected governor in the 1971 elections and served in the same position for 29 years. He has worked with every Philippine president from President Ferdinand Marcos St., who took office in 1965 to President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., elected in 2022.
A staunch businessman, Singson's company is active in banking, mining, real estate, IT and manufacturing. He is a popular figure in the entertainment industry, sponsoring the Philippine edition of the Miss Universe beauty pageant in 2016, and producing movies. He plans to continue co-producing projects with GMA Films.
Singson is also a devoted father to 24 children.
"Chavit: Legend of the Philippines" launches tonight at the Peninsula Manila.
