Hans Christian Señeres (born March 3, 1976) is a non-governmental organization worker who served as a member of the Philippine House of Representatives, representing the BUHAY Partylist from 2003 to 2007.
Christian Señeres was born on March 3, 1976 in Makati. From 1979 to 1985, he received his primary and elementary education in the Benedictine Abbey School (presently known as San Beda College-Alabang). In 1985, his family moved to the United Arab Emirates and he studied in St. Joseph’s School, the Catholic school in Abu Dhabi operated by the Carmelite Sisters. From 1990 to 1994, Señeres studied in South Lakes High School in Virginia, USA where he received the 1992 Science Exposition Silver Ribbon, the Certificate of Merit from the Spanish Honor Society and the President’s Award for Educational Excellence from President Bill Clinton. Christian Señeres became a member of the National Business Honor Society and the Mu Alpha Theta Honor Society, graduating with top honors. In 1998, Señeres graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Financial Management from Southeastern University and became a member of the International Institute of Certified Financial Planners.
To complement his US education, Christian Señeres enrolled in the University of the Philippines where he took courses on the life and works of José Rizal (PI-100), Philippine History (Kasaysayan-1) and Nationalism (Kasaysayan-116). He then organized the Nationalist Leadership Council, composed of student leaders from the University of the Philippines-Diliman, Ateneo de Manila University and San Beda College-Manila. The organization was later registered in the Securities and Exchange Commission and thereafter granted college scholarships to numerous youths who demonstrated exceptional leadership and love for country. Señeres went back to the US and pursued his Juris Doctor degree from the Northwestern School of Law, majoring in United States Constitutional Law. For two terms, Christian Señeres was the youngest Congressman and he prioritized development projects that would primarily benefit the youth, such as the construction of a Community Recreation Center in Sta. Ana, Manila, the public library building in the Municipality of José Panganiban, Camarines Norte, the Provincial Drug Rehabilitation Center in Laurel, Batangas and additional classrooms for the National High School of Jalajala, Rizal.
Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal of Cebu conferred on him the Blessed Pedro Calungsod Pro-Vita Medal for his “firm and clear stand for the fundamental truths upon which our Constitution is anchored.” Señeres also received a Plaque of Appreciation from Human Life International “in recognition of his uncompromising and unrelenting advocacy in Congress for the protection of the rights of the unborn, of authentic rights of the family, and for his fidelity to the public trust and the demands of Christian citizenship.”
