SENATOR PANGILINAN PUSHES FOR GENUINE REFORMS AND GENUINE CHANGE AT MABEL AT YOUR SERVICE PUBLIC AFFAIRS PROGRAM
In an interview at “Mabel at your Service” public affairs program anchored by Councilor Mabel Sunga Acosta, Senator Pangilinan lamented that the country is way left behind in economic. He expressed disappointment that while the Philippines has not increased its per capita income for the last 30 years. China has registered 400 percent; Malaysia, 150 percent; and Thailand 100 percent in the same period. “What we’re earning 30 years ago, we’re earning today. In other words, we’re running- in- place,” he said. He blamed the “public sector leadership” for “the mess we’re in” without specifying any president or past leaders and offered new public sector leaders as a solution.
He said that it is encouraging that there is now a common effort to get people to register. In Davao city alone there is approximately over one million first time voters because of the renewed interest in the upcoming the electoral process.
