Sergio Félix Galilea Ocón is a Chilean engineer, academic and politician and former member of the Party for Democracy (PPD).

With a vast experience in the public sector, he stood out as Minister of State under President Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle and as Undersecretary of the governments of Frei himself and Michelle Bachelet.

He was also mayor of the Metropolitan Region of Santiago and Los Lagos. 
He studied at the San Francisco Javier School in Puerto Montt. In 1970, he graduated from the University of Chile with a degree in industrial engineering and later, in 1971, he completed a master's degree in Urban and Rural Planning at the Pontifical Catholic University.

A Christian Democrat in his youth, he decided to opt for the MAPU when the Falangist schism occurred and still maintains close ties with former Mapuists, such as Jaime Estévez, Carlos Montes and Enrique Correa.

In the government of Ricardo Lagos he took over as Metropolitan Mayor (March 2000 to December 2001), a position in which he faced various difficulties with the environmental decontamination plan and some sanitary landfills. He then returned to La Moneda, but this time to the so-called second floor as presidential advisor in charge of coordination with the political parties.

He has been a professor at the Institute of Urban Studies of the Pontifical Catholic University, in the School of Government and Public Management of the University of Chile and a consultant to international organizations such as ECLAC, ILPES, OAS, World Bank and UNICEF, in urban, regional and social planning.

When I was 14 years old a group of friends had a band, they ran out of bassist, so they included me because I knew how to play some songs on guitar, besides we had the same tastes, so it was easy for us to adapt. Those were the best times, we laughed about everything and worked hard, the band was always important more than the members, although we were competing for who was better anyway. The more we competed, the more we were learning, we were teaching ourselves, we were friends and colleagues, although maybe more colleagues than friends at the beginning. We just wanted a space to be us. We managed to master songs that were very difficult for our young age, we met bands, went to concerts, watched movies, it was a time of much culture and in a few short years. I lost a lot of studio time, I got away from people, I changed myself, I left things I used to do and I would never change all that for anything else.

Hi, in this post I'd like to talk to you about the latest series I've been watching. (No spoilers) Better call Saul has been a series that exceeded my expectations, I didn't expect it to be so good. The story is slower and has more everyday touches, despite having such crazy characters. On the other hand, Breaking Bad stands out for creating tension due to the extreme situations, a feeling of constant danger, given the drug trafficking environment. On the other hand Better Call Saul the tension comes from the importance of the decisions they have to make almost forced by the circumstances of humiliation and frustrated aspirations.  Jimmy (Saul's real name) is a guy who tries to follow the right path, try to redeem himself and make an effort, instead he gets humiliated, the people around him don't respect him and find him a despicable guy, since in the past he was a dedicated con man. Instead, Breaking Bad all the decisions were provoked by Walter White's destroy...

Blog 2 why did you choose this career program?

When I was a kid I watched TV channels like National Geographic and History. I was very attracted to the work of archaeologists from different cultures. That's why since I was a child I liked historical themes. I played videogames like Age of Empires, and I learned the history of legends. At first I chose law for the high expectations I was told, believing that I would find what I was looking for. To say that I didn't like the race completely would be a lie. The things that I learned I still apply, but it definitely wasn't something I was going to do. I would have ended up being an academic, because absolutely no litigation is something I am excited about. I liked having an excuse to dress up and be pretty. In the end I changed, took the PSU exam again and enrolled in Political Science. I like the career, and I don't regret not having chosen another social science. It's knowledge that I've mastered and that I've enjoyed studying since I was a child. The teac...
