I have not really strongly campaigned for political parties and candidates here in my blog. But now, I would really like to make a stand for Bangon Pilipinas under the leadership of Bro. Eddie Villanueva. I believe in him as a person of integrity and credibility. He believes in God, and as such, it follows that he also believes in love, peace and justice as well.
I believe him when he says there will be no corruption under his term. I believe in his convictions. And I believe that he can best run the country along with his team. I also believe that his wife will make for the best First Lady that this country has ever had. You have to remember, behind every great man is a great woman. The wife can greatly influence the President. She is the closest to the President, more than his advisers, so a good woman like Mrs. Villanueva is I think the best person to be with the President in Malacanang.
Bro. Eddie Villanueva for PRESIDENT of the Philippines. Make it President Eddie Villanueva.
I am for a NEW PHILIPPINES, A NEW PRESIDENT, A NEW GOVERNMENT, A NEW WAY OF LIFE. BANGON PILIPINAS!
OTHER QUOTES FROM FB:
“While the platform of Bangon Pilipinas is grounded on love for God and for country, it does not mean that accepting support from other religious groups is tantamount to compromise. Let’s remember that Bro. Eddie is running as PRESIDENT of this country, not as Pastor.”
“Operation Living Ads is our way of raising awareness for Bro. Eddie, Jun Yasay and the BP Senatoriables. Since we do not have millions and billions to spend for advertisement, so we volunteers of Bro. Eddie who believes in the cause are the ones going out in the streets and making noise for genuine change!”
