DARLENE ANTONIO CUSTODIO thinks having a news blackout or stopping all of Manny Paquiao’s interviews will help her win the congressional seat.

Of course she will succeed because of rules. But did she consider how our countrymen will feel about it, or does she have a heart of stone when it comes to winning? It’s not just winning that will help our people; it’s sacrifice.
