Distinguished for his handling of the post-World Trade Center attacks, Giuliani will deliver a talk on “Leadership in Times of Crisis.”
For his efforts during and after the 9/11 attacks, he was named “Person of the Year” by Time Magazine in 2001, knighted by the Queen of England, dubbed “Rudy the Rock” by French President Jacques Chirac, and presented with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Freedom Award by former first lady Nancy Reagan.
Giuliani was also credited with cutting the murder rate in New York City by 66 percent and the overall crime index dipped by 56 percent, making New York City – once considered the crime capital of the country – the safest among the largest cities in America, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
New York City’s law enforcement strategy has become a model for other cities around the world.
He also implemented the largest and most successful welfare-to-work initiative in the country, turning welfare offices into job centers and reducing welfare rolls by 640,000, or nearly 60 percent.
Aside from Giuliani’s lecture, the day’s schedule highlights a roundtable discussion from key Philippine leaders of government, business and the foreign service.
Discussants are Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay; British Ambassador Peter Beckingham; Loida Nicolas-Lewis, chief executive officer of TLC Beatrice; Ana Marie Pamintuan, Philippine STAR executive editor; Bro. Armin Luistro, president of De La Salle University-Manila; and James Lafferty, president and general manager of Procter & Gamble Philippines.
Presentor of the event is the JC Binay Foundation of Makati, with The Philippine Star and De La Salle University as co-presentors. Major sponsors are GLOBE Telecom, San Miguel Corp., the Lopez Group Foundation and Metrobank.
