If this is so, then, Sen. Kiko Pangilinan should or must start these advocacies. ANY NEW PROGRAMS, PLANS OF THE GOVERNMENT, ANY CHANGE OF WAYS, CHANGE OF LEADERSHIP, CHANGE OF ATTITUDE, MUST COME FROM THE TOP LEADERSHIP. ILANG TAON NA BA SILA SA SENADO? ANO ANO NA BA ANG MGA NAILUNSAD NG SENADO UPANG ANG ISANG ORDINARYONG MANGGAGAWANG PILIPINO AY MABAGO ANG KANYANG BUHAY TUNGO SA KAUNLARAN NG SARILING PAMILYA AT NG KANYANG COMMUNIDAD.
SAN BA NAPUNTA AT NAPUPUNTA ANG KANILANG MILYONG MILYONG PORK BARRELS? MGA REQUIRED PORSYENTO SA BAWAT MGA PROJECTS NILA? MGA LIBO LIBONG ALLOWANCES SA PAGIGING CHAIRMAN NG MGA KOMITE SA SENADO? NAGKAROON NA BA TAYO NG MGA MALALAKING PABRIKA NA PAGAWA NG MGA SENADOR? NAGKAROON NA BA NG MGA OFWS HOSPITALS O DI KAYA MGA HOME FOR THE AILING OR AGED OFWS, HEALTH CENTERS TO TAKE CRE OF RETIRED OR SICK OFWS? MERON NA BA? TALKING OF TOURISM, ARTS AND CULTURE AT NEW IT DEVELOPMENTS? WHAT DO THEY KNOW ABOUT THESE ? PUMUNTA KAYA SILA SA MGA SULOK NA SULOK NA LUGAR SA PILIPINAS KUNG MERONG MATINONG MGA ESKWELAHAN, MGA LIBRO, MGA KAGAMITAN NG MGA ESTUDYANTE. ANG MGA KALSADA, LUBAK LUBAK PA RIN. MGA TOILETS SA HIGHWAYS, MERON BA? ANG SECURIDAD NATING MGA TURISTA AT MGA UMUUWING OFWS SEGURO BA? SA MENILA NA LANG PUMUNTA KAYA SILA SA QUIAPO AT SANTA CRUZ, TINGNAN NGA NILA ANG GULO NG KALYE, WALANG ORDER SA KALSADA, SALA-SALABAT ANG MGA NAGTITINDA SA KALYE, WALANG KAAYUSAN ANG ATING MGA LUGAR. MGA BASURA SOBRANG DI NA NAKUKULEKTA. ANO BANG TEN POINTS ANG MGA SINASABI NI SENATOR PANGILINAN. GUMISING KAYO MGA KABABAYAN?
