A prominent Philippine businessman has resigned from a prestigious academic post after he was found to have made a speech plagiarising well-known figures.
Manuel Pangilinan quit after admitting he had borrowed from US President Barack Obama, TV host Oprah Winfrey and children's author JK Rowling.
He stepped down after it was revealed on the Facebook website that his address to students was not original.
Mr Pangilinan had in the past spoken up for ethics and morality.
