Former Senator Aquilino "Nene" Q. Pimentel, Jr. was, to the Filipino people, a patriot, a statesman, a pillar of democracy, the “Father of Federalism.”  To the Hanns Seidel Foundation, he was a partner and an adviser.

The HSF Family joins the Filipino people, partners and friends in recalling Senator Pimentel’s unrelenting efforts in disseminating information about federalism and good governance.  We continue to appreciate the knowledge and wisdom tirelessly imparted by an outstanding man of principles.
