SENATOR Grace Poe promised on Sunday an administration that would not only address the needs of the citizens, but would respect the rights of everyone, especially women.

This was how Poe described her six-year term in 2022 if she gets elected president in May.

“Sa atin pong mga kababayan, sa darating po na halalan, dalawa lang po ang landas na pwede nating tahakin: ang isa ay landas na pwede nating ipagmalaki sa ating mga anak, ang isa naman ay landas ng pabalik o kadiliman,”  Poe said during the third and final  presidential debate  held  in Pangasinan.

“Ayaw na natin ng gobyerno na manhid, na hindi pinapakinggan ang daing ng ating mga kababayan, na bulag sa kahirapan, na marami pa ring mga bata ang nagugutom, na marami pa ring mga bata ang iginagapang ang kanilang pag-aaral at nagpapakamatay dahil hindi makatapos ng kolehiyo, na ang ating mga magsasaka ay nagbabayad ng irigasyon na wala namang tubig, na ang ating mga mangingisda ay mag-isang pumapalaot, nilalaban ang mga bangka ng Tsina na gamit lamang ay bato,”  she said.

Poe said her administration would focus on the real needs of  the countrymen, that would provide permanent jobs, food  for every Filipino, and  would respect  the rights of everyone, especially  women.

“Ang atin pong bagong administrasyon ay tutok sa tunay na pangangailangan ng ating mga kababayan: permanenteng trabaho, pagkain sa bawat mesa, paggalang sa karapatan ng lahat, lalong-lalo na ang mga kababaihan na dapat siguro ay bigyan ng pansin at hindi maliitin, at hindi apihin,” she said.

“Sa atin pong administrasyon, dadalhin ko kayo sa isang lugar kung saan ang bawat lahat ay may patas na pagkatataon at hindi ang iilan lamang,”  she said.

“Mga kababayan, pinakamadilim po ang gabi bago mag-umaga. Manalig po kayo, darating din po tayo doon pero kinakailangan po mamili tayo nang tama, at higit sa lahat isipin natin ang makakabuti sa bansa,”  Poe added.
