    • We love you here in Pangasinan, Senator! Agree kami sa plataporma mo na magkaroon ng constant state preparedness dahil sa mga sunod-sunod na natural digasters dala ng climate change. Dapat talaga may continiung program of preparedness. It just goes to show that you know what to do in your first 100 days in office as vice president. Good luck and God bless po.
