It has been an interesting ride for this man who graduated with honors as a mathematics major from the DLSU. He became managing director of Credit Suisse in Singapore, vice chairman for Asia Pacific, and country chief executive officer for Credit Suisse Singapore, after a distinguished career in government and international banking in the Philippines. He was the secretary of finance from 2001 to 2003. With that position, he was able to lead the country's economic team and supervise its fiscal and financial sectors. Mr. Camacho was also the secretary of energy, where he was credited with the successful passage of the country's power sector reform legislation.
