Victor Ziga

Victor "Vic" San Andres Ziga (September 30, 1945 – January 31, 2021) was a Filipino politician who served as senator in the 8th Congress.

He filed various bills such as the establishment of the National Rehabilitation Center for drug addicts, requiring secondary schools to teach avoiding drug addiction and abuse and increasing the minimum basic monthly salaries of public school teachers.

Ziga's interest and concern for those who have less in life is reflected in his association and involvement in typhoon relief operations and civic organizations, such as the free Medical Eye Specialist Mission and the Medical Mission of the Philippine General Hospital.

Ziga eventually left politics after losing his Senate re-election bid in 1992 and returned to the private sector as board director of San Miguel Corporation.

[1] Senator Ziga was born in Manila and was married to Carmen Olbes Velasco with whom he had six children.
