The senator promised to increase efforts in pushing for free quality education, healthcare, good-paying job opportunities for Filipinos and support for senior citizens.

“Magsisilbi po itong inspirasyon upang lalo nating pagsikapan at isulong ang mga pangangailangan ng bawat pamilyang Pilipino mula sa libreng de-kalidad na edukasyon, tulong pangkalusugan, oportunidad na magkaroon ng disenteng trabaho na may sapat na kita, at suporta sa ating mga senior citizen,” he added.

The Sept. 1-7 survey used face-to-face interviews with 1,800 registered voters as respondents. /jpv
