On Political Alignments
Naniniwala ako na ang pinakamalaking laban natin ay ang laban sa gutom, korupsyon, at kahirapan. This is a fight I’ve faced since I was a student leader in the 80’s. It is a fight I will never abandon.
Having said this, I’ve read reports, read posts on social media for and against, and I’ve been told of rumblings regarding political alignments. Critics say i will be ‘selling out to the enemy’ should I pursue a certain path. They are free to say what they wish. I did publicly express a willingness to work with all parties along principled boundaries to bring down high food prices and hunger.
I know who I am, I know what I stand for. My political track record is an open book.
On the day I filed my CoC last October, I stated in the Comelec sponsored presscon in the PICC that should our people carry us to victory, I would work to address hunger. ‘Walang kulay ang gutom’. I likewise said that I was willing to set aside partisan politics so both the legislative and executive branches can work together effectively to deliver solutions. In this regard, I believe what I ought to do, amidst all the chatter, the brickbats, is to focus on what I said I would do and simply walk the walk.
Naguusap usap at maguusap pa rin kami nina Risa at Bam. Kung anuman ang magiging opisyal at pinal na pasya sa Senado sa July 28, maninindigan pa rin tayo nang puspusan para pawiin ang gutom, para sa magsasaka at mangingisda at para sa mababang presyo ng bigas at pagkain. At alam ko sa usapin ng labanan ang gutom nagkakaisa kaming tatlo.
