Diosdado Macapagal was born on September 28, 1910, in Lubao, Pampanga, the third of four children in a poor family.

His father, Urbano Macapagal, was a poet who wrote in the local Pampangan language, and his mother, Romana Pangan Macapagal, was a schoolteacher who taught catechism.

He is a distant descendant of Don Juan Macapagal, a prince of Tondo, who was a great-grandson of the last reigning Rajah of Selurong, Rajah Lakandula.

The family earned extra income by raising pigs and accommodating boarders in their home. Due to his roots in poverty, Macapagal would later become affectionately known as the "Poor boy from Lubao”. Diosdado Macapagal was also a reputed poet in the Spanish language although his poet work was eclipsed by his political biography.

While in law school, he gained prominence as an orator and debater. However, he was forced to quit schooling after two years due to poor health and a lack of money.

His brother-in-law Rogelio de la Rosa, with whom he acted in and produced Tagalog operettas, helped him continue his education. Macapagal raised enough money to continue his studies at the University of Santo Tomas

“Let not the noble race of men of freedom and dignity, which the Filipino people are, ever be traduced and made to kneel before any dictator, foreign or native. Because as a tradition nurtured in their history, freedom is deathless and irrepressible in the soul of the Filipino people.

In the Filipino heart, freedom is an eternal flame that may be dimmed by brutal might but not extinguished, for hope will ever glow for the resurgence of freedom. In the same manner that no matter how long and dark the night may be and how fearful the nightmare, there will surely come the dawn that will change the night into day.”

(Dec. 30, 1961 – Dec. 30, 1965)

To create a truly viable social and economic structure in agriculture conducive to greater productivity and higher farm incomes;

To provide a more vigorous and systematic land resettlement program and public land distribution;

Change the traditional share tenancy to lease hold system.

• Emergency Employment Administration It was patterned after a similar employment program of

United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt during America’s great depression in the 1930’s.

Purpose: stated on Section 2 which says “It is hereby declared to be the continuing policy and responsibility of the State to utilize every possible means to create maximum employment opportunities for all who are able, willing and seeking to work but cannot find employment, thus increasing mass purchasing power, developing income in rural areas, and stimulating economic activity in general.”

What this law basically does is to create and offer job opportunities to Filipinos who are seeking or in need of employment.
