Govt must focus on stabilizing prices, not destabilizing plots: Sen. Kiko

Hindi lang mapanganib ang mga intelligence report na batay sa kapraningan at haka-haka, nakamamatay pa. Pwedeng idamay nito ang mga walang-sala at mga kritikong nagpapahayag ng kanilang mga paniniwala at nagsusulong ng mga paraan para makaahon tayong lahat sa hirap. Inuulit ko: Walang kinalaman ang Partido Liberal sa anumang pakanang patalsikin o i-destabilize ang Pangulo […]

Statement of Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan on 18 names on opposition slate

Over the past months, the Liberal Party and its coalition partners have held a series of meetings to deliberate on a list of candidates who represent an alternative way forward for the country for the 2019 elections. I can confirm that our list has more than enough names to fill a slate; we have no […]

Destabilization is government’s own doing, not opposition’s: Pangilinan

The opposition does not have to do anything. On its own, either by its incompetence or corruption, the government is doing a good job of destabilizing itself. All Malacañang has to do is listen to its own allies who, like the opposition, are calling for the resignation of DA and NFA officials for causing the […]

Mungkahi ng Pangalawang Pangulo bilang pagtugon sa problema ng pagtaas ng presyo ng mga bilihin

Ilang linggo na din po tayong nanawagan sa ating pamahalaan na agarang gumawa ng hakbang para tugunan ang tuloy-tuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng bilihin, lalong lalo na ang bigas. Noong nakaraang linggo, tila magkakasalungat po ang narinig nating pahayag mula sa iba’t ibang opisyal ng ating pamahalaan ukol dito. Alam naman po natin, ang […]

Statement of Erin Tanada, Partido Liberal vice president on external affairs, on death threats vs Fr. Picardal

We view with great alarm the threat against the life of Fr. Amado Picardal. We call on credible authorities to ensure the safety of the Redemptorist priest and investigate the matter. The motive of those attempting to kill him was clear. He has been an outspoken critic of extrajudicial killings in Davao City when President […]

Maunlad ang bayang bayani ang taumbayan at ang pamunuan — Pangilinan

Statement of Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, Partido Liberal president, on National Heroes’ Day and the death of US Senator John McCain Araw-araw, pipila ng isang oras sa MRT, papasok sa trabaho, magbubuno, magpapawis. Pipila ulit ng isang oras o kaya ay tatayo sa bus para makauwi. Para kumita ng mga 500 piso na maiuuwi sa […]

Statement of Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, Partido Liberal president and former Presidential Assistant on Food Security and Agricultural Modernization, on rice crisis in Zamboanga City

First things first: Fire the top management of NFA. I am afraid the rice crisis in Zamboanga City today is a combination of both corruption and incompetence by top government officials in cahoots with wealthy private players in the rice industry taking advantage of the rising prices to profit handsomely. Powerful and influential forces both […]

On ‘moving on’ from the Ninoy Aquino assassination

Statement of Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, Partido Liberal president, On ‘moving on’ from the Ninoy Aquino assassination It was never just an issue between the Marcoses and the Aquinos. More than anything, it was an issue between the Marcoses and the entire nation that suffered immensely from the abuses, the greed, and the oppressive and […]
