The anti-drug campaign, or the drug war as we call it, is not a war on life. Our intention is not to kill people. Our intention is to protect human life - to protect the life, liberty of our people, to protect our people by giving them safe areas to live in, safe streets to walk, safe places to work. But as a whole, the casualties of the drug war are brought about by the force to protect our people but at the same time telling our law enforcement, agencies, and law enforcers, your lives are important too. Why would you save the life of the pusher if the trade-off is your own life or the lives of innocents? But of course, if you can save the life of everyone, why not?

As a public official, you have to make sure that they are not discriminated against. Sa marriage, hindi, pero sa union na pwedeng pag-usapan ng iba't ibang grupo at ng LGBT, paano i-protect yung union, 'yung rights nila, 'yung kanilang property rights, security and everything, di ba? Yung marriage kasi is a word being protected not only by the Constitution, but by those who are against. There's room for a dialogue between the LGBT and the Christian community.

The fact that ABS-CBN is still able to broadcast its content even after its franchise has been peremptorily terminated shows that this issue is not, nor has it ever been, about silencing media nor curtailing the freedom of the press. Just look at the social networking platforms and you will see that those freedoms are alive, well, and undeniably thriving in the Philippines. I even respect that you put the blame on me, on Alan Peter Cayetano personally. But when you blindly call for the approval of the franchise without having heard all the sides of the story, then you show yourselves not as advocates of fair and balanced presentation of facts, as is taught in all the schools that teach journalism, as journalists are sworn to, but you simply become plain and simple propagandists.

I am not against death penalty per se, but all studies show that ang kinatatakutan ng kriminal yung certainty ng prosecution, certainty na mapaparusahan ka rather than the penalty. So pataasin mo ng pataasin mo ng penalty, hindi naman nahuhuli, naaabswelto naman, nababalewala rin. But, meaning in certain situations that we think in certain times in our history that we think we need a death penalty, okay ako.

Ako personally, I'm hoping na magawa lahat ng ibang pwedeng gawin para hindi mo na kailangan ng death penalty. Ni-remove natin sa kongreso iyan dahil iyong justice system natin. Even the advocates of death penalty know na kailangan mong ayusin iyong justice system bago mo i-implement yun and remember ang sinasabi ni Mayor Duterte parang katulad ng public hangings parang deterrent.

An aggressive and sustained Covid-19 testing of our tourism front-liners is necessary to facilitate faster recovery in the tourism industry and ensure safe working environment. With the increased testing capacity in the country, tourism workers can be included in the expanded testing program. This initiative can help build trust and confidence of the domestic tourists as we begin to reopen more economic activities in the next few months.

We have to build trust. They said some red lines, we said some red lines. For one, the Philippines does not want other countries to exploit the natural resources in disputed waters "on their own.

We can do more. I think even the President is not satisfied. Meaning, it is what it is but there's definitely much more than we can do. So I do think that all the departments are working very hard, walang natutulog sa pansitan ika nga (no one is sleeping on it) even Congress. But I do think that there's so much more that can be done. I think really yung testing, yung capability nung hospital, upgrading our health centers will be a priority then yung livelihood.

I want to clarify that I gave Ms. Lopez enough chances to dispel fears that she would not observe the legal process in regulating the mining industry. I supported her in closing down mining sites that were not compliant with the highest standards. Moreover, illegal mining and logging continue to proliferate,while other sectors that need both strict regulation continue to destroy the environment.

I’m not saying dynasties are good. I’m just saying it’s not the problem. Banning political dynasties per se would not solve the problem. Empowering people instead of banning political dynasties. So how do we solve that? It’s not by having an anti-dynasty but to empower people.

Wrong timing. Right now, anything that does not help our people deal with the pandemic should be set aside. You may argue that it will just focus on economic provisions so our economy will improve, but there will be debate and divisiveness on other proposals on political provisions. And this will distract us from focusing on vaccination.

We don’t need to federalize to bring development to every corner of the Philippines. We just need to decentralize. For example, [if] the project is in Bicol, the bidding must also be done in Bicol. It’s more transparent. That way, it’s easier to account and compare the projects and deals.

I believe kasi that permanent nung union nung man and woman. Having said that, I do recognize that there are situations where they cannot be together anymore, but that's why okay sa akin yung annulment. But, ang problema ko sa divorce, once you allow it, if you look at western history, mapupunta sa no-fault divorce, so magiging mag-boyfriend, mag-girlfriend lang. So, meaning for me, husband and wife should do everything they can to stay together, and if it's only on certain extreme cases di ba, halimbawa addict yung isa, or binubugbog yung isa, or chronic na parating may ibang babae o ibang lalaki, but that falls under annulment.

We have to find a solution to impossible marriages like those where one spouse beats the other or where one spouse is psychologically incapacitated. Some believe that divorce is the solution. Some, like me, do not believe that divorce is the solution. A possible solution to failed marriages, could be to make annulment of marriage more accessible and democratic. I will not stop but we will act with caution on bills that have no consensus.
