    You may pay less in electricity, but our taxes continue to pay off debts incurred by the Marcos Regime (which FMJR says with much delusion, was leading us to be a next Singapore had it not been cut by People Power... he is his mother's son indeed).

    If we're talking about the first set of Ilocos windmills then this only benefits a select few due to proximity to the project and the timing of its inception. What would be notable is if he offered legislation that would benefit the energy consumers all over. As a whole, renewable energy is actually more expensive than conventional energy. For the latter Ilocos Wind farms (and other wind farm projects), if these are all sold through the grid and if it forms part of the FIT, these are passed on to us consumers via the FIT which is more expensive than your typical WESM rates. FMJR's family did earn from energy though, through the controversial BNPP and the kickbacks incurred by FM Sr. and his cronies (set aside that this has been mothballed due to political or safety reasons as that is still a long standing debate).

    On Leni Robredo, she has contributed to the Philippines, especially to the poor and marginalized sectors through her work as a lawyer for NGOs and as congresswoman, however these were all never publicized unlike what others would do. The Sumilao farmers taking their cause with her, and marching once again for her has shown that. Speak with any person who has met her and they will share with you how genuine she is.

    She is a lawyer while FMJR is known for his non-existent Wharton degree (while some parties bicker about MR's confirmed degree).

    She remains grounded and continues to live a lifestyle worth emulating in spite of being married to a man who had considerable powers as a long-time city mayor and DILG secretary.

    On a side note, it is interesting to compare the Naga City and Davao City leadership as both Mayors Robredo and Duterte have very contrasting styles and lifestyles yet look at the results to both cities and the mindset of its people. Despite the long-absence of Jesse Robredo, Naga City continues to benefit from his leadership through the programs he started which empowered its people to do better (as compared to coercing people to be disciplined). While the Robredos have long stepped down from Naga City without even thinking of perpetuating their power through placing their children or relatives as replacement, Naga has remained a center of growth surpassing Legaspi City while the question remains on how Davao will transform if someone else takes the helm (should Dutertes actually let go of power there). Yes discipline and progress can be attained but i believe this comes from empowering and teaching the people properly... not through fear.
    Well said ser vinj...
    i'm staying in the southern part of R1 and not getting any benefit from the lower rates given to the northern most portion of Luzon. In fact we are paying more comparing to other areas. and sadly, even with our close proximity (literally about hailing distance) from 1590 Energy power plant we are not enjoying any better power rates.
    Yesterday, i've "lectured" a group of young guys about martial law because they don't have any clue what had happened during our government darkest history. i guess my word has stirred their fixated mindset and given them second thoughts in voting BBM. Judging from their facial expressions, I think i've swayed some of them if not all for NOT voting BBM.

    Marami pang nasilaw sa nagawa nya sa Makati noon kaya ang lakas ng dating. Akala nila kahit liblib at hirap ang lugar nila magiging Makati. Ngayon nangingintab na siya sa gigil

    Another way saying they are buying votes using government funds.

    Bro.,- I don't quite agree with this (specific to the 4Ps),- as the program is ongoing... and from what I understand is doing good for our people...

    However,- I agree with you that the danger[and let me stress,- from all candidates] is in buying votes from now until the election day... We certainly do not want our next President to "cheat his way" to the highest position of the land...

    Let the people freely vote for the next President, based on their conviction.... That is democracy in action....

    And,- let us support the next President,- whether you voted for him/her or not....

    However, the real danger is not in the next President,- it is with us people,- choosing to be our selfish selves,- resulting to a divided nation...

    yeah well, tell that to the struggling families up there in the boondocks and in the islands who are making their children work instead of attending school in order to help put food on their table for the past 5 and a half years
