[Title] => What is your advice to senators?
[Summary] => In a democratic society, opposing views and discordant voices are expected. One can even say it’s good for the country. Unfortunately, the squabble in the Senate we’ve been witnessing seems to be more for the personal gain of senators than for the good of Filipinos. The people are sick and tired of Senate coups. Foreign investors don’t exactly see this as a sign of a lively democracy either, but rather as yet another example of political instability. All we want is for our senators to work on legislation that will benefit the country. That’s what we elected them for.

[Summary] =>
Government has begun keeping a tight reign on infrastructure projects initiated
by local government units (LGUs) in line with the President Committee on
Flagship Projects' directive on build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects.
