ROBERT Andres Bonta was born in Quezon City on Sept. 22, 1972, one day after the declaration of martial law, to parents whose work, trade union organizing, had no place under a martial law regime.
Two months later, they hastily moved to the US with their infant son, then settled in a trailer park near California 's farmlands to organize farm workers. The parents of the young Bonta were proof that some things in the world — commitment and beliefs in their case — never change.The young Bonta inherited the Sermon-on-the-Mount ethos of his parents. But he would wage his fight for social justice and equity as a reformer working from within the political mainstream.
'California will continue to move forward driven by our values and our ongoing pursuit of progress. I will use the full power of the law and the office for it,' added Bonta.What Newsom and Bonta see coming are the intensified efforts of the federal government under Trump to dismantle the legal institutions that California has built, from enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution to tougher gun laws and tougher environmental rules.
