Sancho Abelló y Terrazas (21st Century Crisis)

Sancho Miguel Abelló y Terrazas (born December 1, 1953) is a Filipino politician who currently serves as the President of the Conservative Party of the Philippines, and served as its Head from 1975 to 1981, and again from 1987 to 1993.

Sancho was a close friend of the party's founder Villa Ortiz, and the nephew of Sancho Cruz de Quirós, the leader of The New Principalía, one of the parties that merged to form the Conservative Party. Sancho has been a very influential figure in the history of the Conservative Party, and was regarded as its most "radical" leader. He has been dubbed one of Philippine history's most far-right leaders.

Terrazas served in the Philippine Armed Forces under the presidencies of Carlos P. Garcia and Diosdado Macapagal, in Mindanao. He had seen close friends killed by the armed factions of the Mindanao Nationalist Party, which got him an avid hate for Muslims and a motivating factor to join the Conservative Party.

He was arrested for bombing a mosque in Zamboanga City, and for disobeying orders from miltary superiors. He briefly served as a military officer under the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos, until he severed ties due to conflicting political views.
