PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
QUOTE - "Taft was a rare gem of an American for his time. He is remembered by Filipinos of his time as the American who treated them as equals, at a time when American politics belittled them as less than Americans. While he didn't believe the Filipinos were ready for self-governance he greatly prepared the Islands towards that and became a great advocate in allowing Filipino farmers to own their own lands for agriculture. One of Metro Manila's busiest and well known avenues is named fondly after him."
