You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Gil Juco Puyat Sr.''' (September 1, 1907 – March 23, 1980) was a [[Philippines|Filipino]] politician and businessman who served as a [[Senate of the Philippines|Senator]] of the [[Philippines]] from 1951 until 1972, when President [[Ferdinand Marcos]] shut Congress down and declared [[Martial law under Ferdinand Marcos|Martial Law]], and as [[President of the Senate of the Philippines|Senate President]] from 1967 to 1972.

==Education==
Having been exposed to the world of business, Puyat was inevitably drawn to a course in commerce for his higher education. This he pursued at the [[University of the Philippines]] where he topped his class. Even as a student, he was already immersed in intricate operations of finance and expense, of capital and production, and of management labor handling. He was a member of the college-based [http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/Pan_Xenia_Fraternity#.WCIBMfl95PY Pan Xenia Fraternity] and [[Upsilon Sigma Phi]].

==Early career==
He became a member of the [[Rotary Club]] of Manila at about the same time that he was also a young professor of economics at the University of the Philippines. Puyat's skill in managing the family business caught the eye of the late President [[Manuel L. Quezon]]. At the time, the country was predominantly agricultural in activity and the President was advocating industrialization. Quezon named the young Puyat as dean of the College of Business Administration at the [[University of the Philippines]] when he was 33. An active member of international trades bodies, he acquired international stature in business. The Business Writers’ Association of the Philippines voted him "Business Leader of the Year" in 1948 and the Association of Red Feather Agencies voted him "Civic Leader of the Year" in 1949. ((Citation needed|date=July 2011))

In 1953, he received a plaque from the Community Chest of Greater Manila for “outstanding services as one of the founders, first president and first campaign fund chairman“ of the body. The Philippine Institute of Public Opinion (PIPO) awarded him a certificate of honor for demonstrating national leadership in business, economics, the civic and political fields and for his distinguished service to the youth.((Citation needed|date=July 2011))

==Political career==
In the [[1951 Philippine general election|Philippine midterm elections of 1951]], he was elected Senator and he served in the [[Philippine Senate]] until its closure by Martial Law in 1972. From 1967, he was the Senate President.

As a legislator, Puyat created a few reforms and other things involving the dispensation of public works funds.

==Business activities==
He is founder of Manila Banking Corporation (now Chinabank Savings Bank), Manila Bankers Life Insurance Corporation and the Loyola Group of Companies. The Loyola Group of Companies is composed of Loyola Plans Consolidated Inc., Group Developers Inc. and Loyola Memorial Chapels and Crematorium Inc.

He founded Loyola Plans Consolidated Inc. in 1968 and today it is the oldest Pre-need Company in continuous operation. Group Developers pioneered the concept of memorial parks in the Philippines with its two signature memorial parks in Marikina and Sucat. Loyola Memorial Chapels was the first to use modern cremation technology in the Philippines. Loyola Memorial Chapels has six branches, all in [[Luzon]].

==Family background==
Puyat is the third child of Philippine Pioneer Industrialist Gonzalo Puyat and Nicasia Juco, both from [[Guagua]], [[Pampanga]]. He was trained early in life by his father, Don Gonzalo, in the trade of manufacturing billiard tables and bowling alleys. Eventually, he assisted in managing the family business of Gonzalo Puyat & Sons, the brand holder of AMF-Puyat, Puyat Steel, and Puyat Vinyl.

Puyat was married to Eugenia Guidote, an accountant and pioneer member of the [[Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants]] (PICPA), and a trained opera singer (soprano). They had seven children – Gil Jr. (deceased), Vicente (deceased), Antonio (deceased), Victor, Jesusa (deceased), Alfonso and Eugenia.

==Death==
In 1978, he was invested as a member of the [[Order of St. Gregory the Great]]. He died, 2 years later, on March 22, 1980, due to [[cardiac arrest]], one of the complications of an asthma attack. He was buried on March 28, 1980, at Loyola Memorial Park in [[Marikina]].<ref name="death"/> Puyat's mausoleum-family graves include the remains of Eugenia Guidote Puyat (January 03, 1907-November 21, 1988), Deogracias Puyat, Rafael B. Puyat, Gil Guidote Puyat, Jr. (May 02, 1936-August 28, 2006), Antonio G. Puyat and Milagros T. Puyat. 

==In popular culture==
[[Gil Puyat Avenue|Buendia Avenue]], which was originally named after [[Nicolas Buendia]], is now named after him, but most people tend to use the original name of the road.
