ISSUE 158 ELEKSYON 2022 | www.filipinoheroes.nz | email: filipinonews@xtra.co.nz | www.filipinonews.nz | 05 www.filipinoheroes.nz : Over a 120 Filipino Kiwi Heroes have been recognised over the years by Filipino News NZ. The Presidentiables. Panfilo Lacson Leni Robredo Isko Moreno Leody de Guzman Bongbong Marcos Manny Pacquiao What Pinoys have on their voter wish lists What projects/changes do you want to see from the next president of the Philippines? Kakay Lestojas I experience the high level of transparency and accountability in governance here in New Zealand and I dream, hope and pray that one day I and my family will get to experience this kind of governance in our country … Adelaide Leyson- Villegas I would like to see online systems activated the same as here in NZ, more work opportunities for people of older age and the revival of free community livelihood programs in barangays like dressmaking, handicraft, cooking or cosmetology. Marnito Conel I wish that the next president’s top priority will be addressing the current pandemic. I believe that once this issue is mitigated that it will pave the way for focusing on other pressing issues that the country is currently facing. Secondly, the support for educational improvements is very underwhelming. Thus I hope to see better educational aid. The next thing to prioritize is investing in health and technology. This COVID-19 situation is an eye opener of how unprepared the country is when it comes to dealing with a health crisis. Banking on technology will also help the country’s economy as undoubtedly it is the booming industry these days.” Emma Baet Carreon My dream is for the Philippines to be like NZ and have leaders like the ones we have here – with the integrity and decency to admit when they’re wrong and really, really work for the people and not for themselves. For me it’s all about honesty, capability and on the ground experience. I want a President who is strong, capable & committed enough to first - STOP corruption - second - make ALL government officials accountable for what they do & third - to make them submit their SALN for scrutiny by the people. Leovigilda Pepito What I want to see are projects that (1) help lessen the burden on mothers and women, (2) lessen the population, (3) give more work options for solo parents just like senior citizens get and (4) provide free education and hospitality services.” By Queenie Tanjay Francis John Jurado I believe that Filipinos are very capable of seeing reason beyond the superficial propaganda of ingenuine politicians. As a voter I am kindled by leaders that are transparent, open-minded and visionary. I would love the next President to be strongwilled enough to solve the long-standing issues of corruption and bad governance, embracing to the calls of indigenous people and passionate in supporting technology-driven innovations and programs. Desiree Marie Torayno I’d like the next president to give accessible education to everyone, especially the poor, or to design systems that make education affordable, for I believe that education is the key to every person’s future. Kate Burgos Key is to really stimulate the economy, given that we have been continuously lagging behind our neighbours. To break the downward spiral, yung overarching talaga is GREAT governance. 1. Remove red tape and bureaucracy in businesses 2. Invest in education, support social mobility (poverty alleviation) and capitalise on the virtual job market 3. Eliminate corruption to increase efficiency and confidence in tax collection and to ensure that taxes are completely spent on NATION-BUILDING. The domino effect should be: higher efficiency and innovation and the lowering of the cost of internet, electricity and economic growth. Gracezel Flores Basta president na di lang build build kundi protect protect din for example sa mga farming land that was converted to highways or housing. Protecting and conserving the environment is important as well. This is very relevant, especially in times of crisis today, na dapat hindi government ang problem. Dapat nasa government ang solution. Kim Ybañez We need transparency and accountability from our next set of leaders. This administration’s legacy is the erosion of government institutions. I hope that the next administration will restore those institutions and in effect restore the trust of the public in those institutions. Mark Anthony Solon A president who will give us Filipinos the life that we deserve, who will unite the country again and a president who will make us proud again of being Filipinos. continued on page 6
