NACIONALISTA Party standard bearer Sen. Manuel Villar, Jr. will kick off his presidential campaign today in Calamba, Laguna, the hometown of national hero Dr. Jose Rizal. Dubbed “90-day journey to a better Philippines,” the NP will hold a mammoth rally in the afternoon. Villar will be accompanied by his entire slate. When asked why he chose Laguna as the starting point of his campaign, Villar said: “Remember, ang Southern Luzon ay may napakalaking populasyon. Napakahalaga, at naniniwala kami na ‘yun ay magandang panimula.” He said the cradle of heroes is always the best springboard of change. “We would like to unveil our vision for the nation in the birthplace of the man who told us and showed us how to love it,” the NP secretariat said. It added that they chose Laguna “not because it is our bailiwick, but because we believe that our vow to serve the people will assume a sacred dimension if made in the place symbolized by our national hero.” “Others will read their platforms from teleprompters. We’d rather recite ours from the heart in front of the statue of Rizal,” the NP added. “The program of governance to be pursued will be anchored on issues such as preventing rapid increases in prices of basic necessities, eradication of graft and corruption, reducing poverty, creating jobs and livelihood among others.” |
