This is the April 28 episode of Kandidato, television’s toughest job interview, Nacionalista Party presidential bet Senator Manny Villar gets grilled by Arnold Clavio, Howie Severino, and Malou Mangahas on the topics surrounding his candidacy.
What I like with Villar is his consistency. His answer on which Philippine hero does he idolize is Andres Bonifacio, who like him, came from the poor, worked hard and is very brave. He has also shown me how great of a father and a family man he is – he brought his kids well, he said his happiest times are being with his family and children especially when they are all together celebrating New Year and Christmas.
The national elections is within reach and in fact, two days from now, we will go out of our houses, combat long lines to our voting precincts and vote the candidates we believe are capable of lifting our country from hardships – there’s only one thing people are consistently shouting for – CHANGE.
One of the votes we need to take into consideration and put our mind into in the upcoming elections is choosing the partylist which will represent a certain sector of our country – a partylist which will stand by its principles in serving people and upholding the interest of the sector they are representing. My default vote goes to AVE this upcoming elections.
However, there are hundreds more to choose from, a certain percentage is needed for one partylist to win a seat or more in the upcoming elections. That is why we need to ponder on which partylists are not that popular, but of relevant interest – which represents the many and needs our vote.
