“So ‘yun ang basis ng buong kampanya nila, is to add more numbers to help the Vice President. Makikita n’yo naman po sa mga ibang kandidato, plataporma po ang ibinibida nila at sakai pinapakita nila sa taong bayan. So, dapat po ‘yung tao doon naka-focus, sa plataporma po, hindi po ‘yung pagprotekta lang ng interes ng isang tao,” House Deputy Majority Leader and La Union 1st District Representative Francisco Paolo Ortega V said.

“I do agree na sinabi piliin natin maiigi, pero ano ba ang tamang basehan? Is it because para sa isang tao or para sa bansa natin?

In a statement last February 6, PDP Laban called on Filipino voters to choose their senators wisely, noting that the Senate will decide on the fate of the Vice President, who will be the subject of an impeachment trial. A vote of two-thirds of all members of the Senate is needed to convict the Vice President and remove her from office.
