I THOUGHT I’d support Alan Peter Cayetano’s senatorial bid. But, after hearing that he would vote for abolishing the Senate), I’d say the people should not waste their votes on him.
We need an even stronger Senate, and the least we could have are senators who believe in having two houses of Congress. It is bad enough that the House of Representatives sold us for the price of their pork barrel. Now, the last thing we need is a Senate with members who do not believe in the importance of its role in the checks and balances that Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has weakened.
Let’s have senators who will serve our people and our Constitution well, not senators who see only the political title and power that come with an elected position.
As Cayetano has shown his real political color, I am hoping that the Genuine Opposition (GO) will drop him from its senatorial slate.
The senatorial race is beyond fighting Arroyo and the First Gentleman, although that is a collateral benefit and a necessary and almost inevitable result of going for GO.

dapat kasi baguhin ang electoral process dito sa Pinas para hindi nakakasawa manood ng mga ads nila. sana bawal ang mga tv ads kasi hindi naman lahat can afford. tama sina paredes dapat hindi gagastos ng malaki ang mga kandidato kung tatakbo sila sa election. sobrang mahal talaga ng election dito sa pinas kaya lang TUBO pa rin sila, di ba?

We need in the government people with balls like Alan Peter Cayetano. He’s not that stupid on witch hunting - don’t you think so?. It was a physicological question thrown to the Arroyos on their foreign bank deposits. If the bank deposit is not true, it was very very easy for the Arroyos to issue a full blanket authority document for investigation purposes. Why it was not issued ??? Meron o Wala?
Unlike Ping Lacson, when he was requested for the same document for his alleged foreign bank account, without hesitation, he issued a full blanket authority for investigation purposes. If Ping Lacson can do it, why not the Arroyos.
This is one of the reasons why I voted A. Cayetano and Ping Lacson. I voted for GO.
Kung wala si Companero, paano na?

si alllan cayetano may prinsipyo. kalabanin man ang mag arroyo, nananitiling may paninindigan at malasakit sa bayan.hindi sya ang tipo na panonoorin na lang ang patuloy na pagbagsak ng pilipinas.gusto nyang tulungan ang bansang patuloy na pinagnanakawan ng mga buwayang nakaupo sa gobyerno. kahit sabihin pang 2 ang cayetano sa senado o tatlo, wala akong nakikitang mali dyan kung ang isinusulong nilang adhikain ay para sa bayan at hindi para lang sa malacanang o mayayaman.sa kasaysayan ng pilipinas, lumaki ng ubod ng laki ang utang ng pilipinas, at naging pinakakurakot na bansa ang pilipinas sa asya, palagay ko sa buong mundo na at at iyan ay sa ilalim ng panunungkulan ni gloria. maging ang pagpatay sa mga union leaders, pari, aktibista, sikat dito sa europa;sikat ang pilipinas, sikat si arroyo!kaso sa negatibong paningin.
