Senator Bam Aquino hopes that a candidate’s track record and accomplishments will matter most in the 2019 elections.
“Kaya tayo tumututol sa No-El, para magka-eleksiyon at magkaalaman na. Ano ba ang talaga ang ginawa para sa bayan? Ano ba ang plano mo para sa tao,” said Sen. Bam in reply to Sec. Bong Go’s statement to President Duterte’s critics.
The lawmaker said the 2019 elections should serve as an acid test for a candidate’s performance.
“I’m hoping that the 2019 elections, hindi lang ito popularity contest, o paramihan ng tarpaulin o paramihan ng giveaway. Sana isa itong eleksiyon kung saan kailangan mo talagang suriin ang bawat kandidato,” said Sen. Bam.
“Ano ba ang naibigay sa taumbayan, ano ba ang pinaglalaban, saan ba siya tahimik? Let’s have an elections na iyon ang focus, para makapili tayo ng mga pinunong makatutulong sa bayan,” added the senator.
Sen. Bam has 24 laws in his five years as senator, including the Go Negosyo Act and the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act.
He was the principal sponsor of the law making college education free in public universities and colleges.
