Chiz Escudero: “I don’t accept campaign contributions from those I don’t know,” he said, adding that about 100 contributors pitched in to fund his campaign budget of about P64 million.
For a nationwide presidential campaign, he said he would just spend P15 per voter, as allowed by law, and not P3 billion as previously mentioned by a peer in the Senate.
Dick Gordon: “What is important is leadership by example,” he stressed, adding that constituents only follow what they observe a president does. “A president should be hands-on. You cannot move [a nation] just by yourself. It should be both inspiration and perspiration.”
He also mentioned during the interview that he is not amenable to media advertisements. “They show an image that you want people to believe about you.”
Currently, Gordon faces an ethics complaint at the Senate for his dual position as a concurrent chairman of the Philippine National Red Cross.
Among Ed Panlilio, the priest: He said, “what the country needs now is a leader who does not compromise.”
He cited how this quality enabled his administration to collect P380 million from the quarry operations. That represented a drastic 800 percent increase from the collections of his predecessors, implying that the difference went to the pockets of politicians, not to the constituents.
Mar Roxas: “Our nation today is on a platform of sand. We are not standing on a strong foundation of morality and justice,” he said.
Gilbert Teodoro: “He said that while a parliamentary form of government is good, “Filipinos are not likely to accept a president they did not elect.” He said he favors a presidential and unicameral form of government. “This will allow regions to decide for themselves how they want to develop, even hold local elections as they see fit.”
