HISTORY repeats itself like a broken record.

Before, it was conjugal dictatorship and cronies. Then, it was Kamag-anak, Inc. Now, we call it political dynasty. Really, there’s nothing new under the sun.

WE need a leader who has a vision for the nation like Chiz. Yes, it sounds ideal but I am still confident that this archipelago is still far from a wasteland because of him.

The youth sector is now becoming more involved with the affairs of the society because of Chiz. Chiz is undoubtedly now the man, (or to include other noble men and women aspirants) one of the very few “real” candidates who will ignite this uprising, movement or revolution in Philippine politics –crisp and fresh– with a definitive thrust enriched with unwavering enthusiasm to be the voice of Filipinos in the Senate.

I’m praying Chiz will not fail us in the coming years (more importantly) and stay consistent with his dreams for this side of the planet as he prepares his way to the presidency when that time comes.
