A SIMPLE response to a mammoth challenge this fellow-balikbayan doctor [Martin Bautista] has taken upon himself: sir, more power to Davids like you, who, rightly, have sprung the conventional box, and dare the “windmills.”
Like you, I was thought to be a nitwit when I returned to the Philippines from 38 years in Europe. I chose to stay in Mindanao for the very same reasons you’re trying to wake up this turpid nation of otherwise, warm, good people.
Sir, I’m already campaigning for your party. May more wake up and do something about it, this time. Thank you– from a small but significant spark of a sector of our nation.
– Dra. Georgie Obusan-Roos, Lagao, General Santos City (via e-mail)

I listened to the podcast on Dr. Bautista’s platform in his run for senator. My hats off to this intelligent and big-hearted physician who puts his personal aspirations and professional career on the line just to help this struggling country out of the political mire that it is in. We need more people like him who are credible and untainted and with a clear platform for the progress of this nation!

Dr. Bautista stands out among this field of has-beens and traditional politicians. We need people like him.

We need more people like Martin Bautista in the Senate. We need him to bring about fresh perspectives and change the way things are. Keep him in your magic 12.

My fellow country men I sincerely believe that Dr. Martin Bautista’s dream to serve the Pinoy ay tunay at dakilang hangarin ng isang balikbayan. We need him in the Senate like Sen.Flavier. Please vote Dr. Bautista.

I believe that Dr. Bautista will really make a big difference for our country. It’s not like Dr. Bautista just woke up one day and said to run for a seat in the house. He has been talking about this for years. As far back as when he was still a rookie resident in New York, he had his eyes in his beloved country. He gave up a very booming medical practice with his doctor wife and moved his family back here in the Philippines so he can help change the direction of our country.
So, people if you want to have a change in our country, vote for Dr. Martin Bautista.

too bad Dr. Bautista doesnt have enough money for his campaign,if only his speeches & platforms were given the chance to be heard and watched by filipinos instead of those lousy and stupid political ads with nonsense jingles paraded by some dumb celebrities, then he maybe could have enough votes to put him into senate,unfortunately for him and for us filipinos it will never happen…what a shame! we filipinos never learn

Naniniwala ako na hindi dito matatapos ang adhikain ni Dr. M. Bautista para makatulong sa ating bayan at mga kababayan. Sana lang mas bigyang pansin pa siya ng mga taong gusto niyang matulungan. Ipinangampanya ko siya di lamang sa kadahilanang kaapelyido ko siya kundi dahil naniniwala ako sa kanyang malinis na hangarin. Sayang nga lamang at kunti lang ang nakuha niyang boto. Di pa huli ang lahat, ito pa lang ang simula. Goodluck Dr. Bautista!

I feel so SAD, that Mr. Bautista did not make it to the senate, I first saw him in GMA7 Isang tanong and I admire him since then, Poor us Filipino, we need someone like him but we let him passed. Sir Good Luck po… If you will run again, I still vote for you. “,

I share your sentiments…sayang at hindi politically matured ang mga pinoy…andun pa rin tayo sa kung sino ang liyamado…Not his lost, but our lost ika nga.

All is not lost! The Kapatiran has enkindled in our society with the urgency of the need to reform. I hope this newly lighted candle would continue to burn till all of our society will realize its importance. Keep up the campaign so that we can see you in the Senate at 2010.

Fr: Salina.
The reason ang katiparan didn’t win because the filipino people don’t know them. They should start from the begining. Run in their barrio so that the people well know them.

Minsan lang ako maga-agree sayo. Tama ka. Kasi karamihan ng populace natin mahihirap so you have to recognize your target market. Sad to say, most of our people are poor who need the basics. So yung exposure niya sa TV for debates is not sufficient. Dapat alamin niya muna yung needs of the main populace (mostly C,D). Hindi sufficient ang issues kasi hindi yun ang concern ng karamihan.

Sana tumakbo ulit xa s susunod n election, txt txt ulit tau ha patrick for Mr. Bautista.

You may be interested in visiting Dr. Martin Bautista’s website (a senatorial candidate of ‘Ang Kapatiran’ together with Adrian Sison and Zosimo Paredes). He’s a 44-year-old gastroenterologist in the US who came home. You can see from his background that he truly means service.
