Several weekends ago, between typhoons, I had the opportunity to visit Lal-lo Church, located on Real Street in Lal-lo, Cagayan. I hope the church has withstood the challenges of natural disasters that have recently battered Northern Luzon.

Lal-lo (old name: Lal-loc) was known as the Diocese of Nueva Segovia from 1595 to 1755 when the seat of the diocese was moved to Vigan. It was Cagayan’s capital until 1839 when Tuguegarao became the provincial center. The Philippine Historical Commission marker, dated 1939, prominently displayed at the site, is a testament to Lal-lo Church’s significance.

As Nueva Segovia, Lal-lo was one of the first four cities founded by the Spanish colonists in the Philippines (others were Manila, 1571; Cebu, 1565; and Nueva Caceres, now Naga, 1575).

Rev. Fr. Miguel de Benavides O.P. dedicated himself to addressing the spiritual needs of Cagayan’s native population as the first bishop of Nueva Segovia from 1596 to 1602. After a brief three-year tenure, he was appointed Archbishop of Manila on October 7, 1602. Sadly, he passed away in 1605, six years before realizing the university he had envisioned, the University of Santo Tomas (UST), was eventually founded.

I revere Lal-lo Church's historical and cultural importance. It stands not merely as a place of worship but also as a monument to Cagayan's rich heritage.

The Man: A Leni Robredo Biography

“The best man for the job is a woman.” - Leni Robredo

Maria Leonor Gerona Robredo, an alternative lawyer and public servant, is the 14th Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines. After years of working with the poor and the marginalized, teaching the less fortunate about their rights under the law, Leni, as she is popularly known, emerged into national consciousness following the loss of her husband, long-time Naga City Mayor and Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo. Called upon to carry on his legacy of good governance, she stepped into the political arena in 2013, when she won as Representative of the Third District of Camarines Sur.

On April 23, 1965, in the lands of Naga, Camarines Sur, Philippines; a woman was born, a woman who in the future will fight against the biggest of odds a woman has ever faced. In the name Maria Leonor Santo Tomas Gerona, she was recognized to be first of the three children born to Naga City Regional Trial Court Judge Antonio Gerona (Father) and Salvacion Santo Tomas (Mother).

There is not much known about how Leni spent her youth or who she surrounded herself with but she is known to have attended the basic education department of Unibersidad de Sta. Isabel in Naga and graduated from elementary school in 1987, and from high school in 1982.

Leni lived a normal life, born as Filipina, and just like every Filipino, was dedicated at her passion and goals. She earned her degree in economics from the University of The Philippines Diliman in 1986, and proceeded to study law at the University of Nueva Caceres, graduating in 1992; she then passed the bar exams in 1997.

Leni knew the path she was taking, and realized her potential to help her fellow Filipinos. Not much is known about what inspired her to follow the path of politics, probably due to his father occupation but Leni chose to temporarily forego law studies and instead decided to work as a researcher for the Bicol River Basin Development Program (BRBDP) – it is a government agency tasked with integrated area development planning in the three provinces of the Bicol Region. During her work in the agency, there she met the man would finally make her heart skip a beat and someone that would impact her and give courage, one that she’ll forever treasure – Program Director Jesse Robredo. The two loved each other very dearly and was always together, helping people, providing support to those in need, and proving their capabilities as trust-worthy public servant to the masses. The wife and husband were eventually blessed with three healthy children named – Aika, Tricia, and Jillian.

Having passed the bar on her second attempt in 1996 and admittedly in May 1997, Leni served in the Public Attorney’s Office, a role in which she often took up the defense for cases pursued by her husband, who by then had become Mayor of Naga.

The family lived a very comfortable life and their children grew full of love and compassion, just like their parents but unfortunately, all this would come to pass as Jesse Robredo – Leni’s beloved husband – unfortunately died on August 18, 2012, when his plane (Piper PA-34 Seneca) a light aircraft he was traveling in crashed off the coast of Masbate Island. He was traveling back home to assist her daughter’s swimming competition.

This left Leni and her children devastated and lost. Just like any other family, they held each other dear. Jesse Robredo loved his children very much and taught them everything they need to know; it was no secret that Jesse was compassionate, kind, and warm – the way his beloved children grew up was proof of this. Jesse’s death left an impact on Leni and their children, one that would forever remain within them, even as Leni continues the fight.

Leni knew then that she needed to continue what her husband had started but even then; on her own, she was able to do good in the country by becoming the coordinator of Sentro ng Alternatibong Lingap Panligan (SALIGAN), founder of the Lakas ng Kababaihan ng Naga Federation, an organization that provides training and livelihood opportunities for women, in 1989; and being named the chairperson of the Liberal Party in Camarines Sur.

She continued on as she ran in Camarines Sur’s 3rd congressional district on 2013 and won, Participatory governance and transparency were the major objectives and thrusts of Robredo's legislative agenda. The first law Robredo authored in congress was the Full Disclosure Policy Bill (HB 19), which would have mandated all government agencies and their sub-units and projects to disclose their budget and financial transactions in a conspicuous manner "without any requests from the public.” Robredo also authored the People Empowerment Bill (HB 4911), which sought to allow more participation from Filipinos in decision and policy-making, and the Participatory Budget Process Bill (HB 3905), which sought to increase participation in budget-related decisions in government projects by locals. She also wrote the Comprehensive Anti-Discrimination Bill (HB 3432) to prohibit discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, race, religion or belief, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expressions, language, disability, HIV status, etc.

Leni’s passion to help and be of service amongst the Filipino people did not stop here. On October 5, 2015, after her three daughters set aside their initial objections, Leni announced that she would run for the post of Vice President of the Philippines under the Liberal Party in the 2016 election, as the running mate of presidential candidate Mar Roxas. She won the election with 14,418,817 votes, or 35.11 percent of cast ballots, narrowly defeating her closest rival, Senator Ferdinand Marcos, Jr, by 263,473 votes or by 0.64 percent.

During her term, Leni did things on her own but provided as much help as her accompanied President – Rodrigo Roa Duterte. Leni also showed strength and fulfilled her promises she made during her campaign such as her Angat Buhay Program – a program that focuses on six advocacy areas, namely: public education, rural development, food security and nutrition, women empowerment, universal healthcare, and housing and resettlement. From the beginning of her program in 2016 up until January 2022, the program has benefitted 622,00 families in 223 cities and municipalities across the country.

These feats, accomplishments did not go unnoticed and during the year of 2016, Leni received numerous awards from different universities, non-government organizations, and foreign acknowledgements; examples of these are: her being awarded the Honorary Outstanding Woman Award of the Year by the Thai government, coinciding with Thailand’s Women Day due to her work and advocacy on women’s empowerment and gender equality, the award as the Most Influential Filipina Woman of the World given to her by Filipina Women’s Network, and different doctorates from universities within the country such as: Polytechnic University of the Philippines, University of Saint Anthony in Iriga, Camarines Sur, and University of the Cordilleras.

However, despite these achievements, accomplishments, and good deeds she made count during her term; negative news, bad comments, and bullying were still thrown at her at the time. Many saw her as useless and found her to be not worthy of her position but she remained steadfast and loyal to her own morals, using her influence and power to continue helping those in need and provide a trust-worthy and corrupt free governance. She was a mother, not only to her children but also to the country.

On October 7, 2021; she announced her readiness to run for president and filed her candidacy as an independent, running with her is the Senator Kiko Pangilinan as vice president who filed his own certificate of candidacy under the Liberal Party. After all that she’s been through, the many people she’s helped, and the many challenges she’s faced; she is currently facing her biggest challenge yet.

Leni Robredo, in her own way, paved the way for women to start believing in themselves. Tested by life, circumstances, and challenges; she never lost sight of who she really is and remained steadfast to her ethics. She showed strength within her weakest moments, and showed compassion in the world full of hate. Many might hate her, see her as unworthy, and not fit for position but we all cannot deny that Leni did everything and more. Having lost her only love, becoming a single parent is not easy, let alone raising them to be fine young ladies but despite these odds, she kept a strong face, and confronted all the challenges, allegations, and judgements thrown at her all while proving her worth as the Vice President of the country.

“The Journey of our Future President”

Maria Leonor Santo Tomas Gerona Robredo, the 14th Vice president of the Philippines was born on April 23, 1965 in Naga, Camarines Sur, Philippines. She is the first of three children of Regional Trial Court Judge Antonio Gerona and Salvacion Santo Tomas. She completed both her elementary and highschool education at the Universidad de Sta. Isabel in Naga. She then went to Manila to study economics at the University of the Philippines Diliman, in 1986 she earned her degree in economics. In the following year, Leni got married to Jesse Robredo whom she met on her work at Bicol River Basin Development. A year later, their eldest daughter Jessica Marie “Aika'' Robredo was born. While being a first time mom, Leni still pursued attending her law school at the University of Nueva Caceres, in the year 1992, she graduated. Two years later, their second daughter Janine Patricia “Tricia” Robredo was born. In 1996, Leni passed the bar exams in her second attempt. A year after, Robredo started serving in the Public Attorney's Office. In 2000, their youngest daughter Jillian Therese Robredo was born.

From 1998 until 2008, Robredo became the coordinator of the Sentro ng Alternatibong Lingap Panligan or popularly known as SALIGAN which is a Naga-based legal support group that aims to encourage young legal professionals to help provide legal services to people living in the rural communities. Unfortunately in the year 2012, her husband Jesse Robredo, the Philippine Interior Secretary died from a plane crash. The Piper PA-34 Seneca light aircraft crashed in the sea near the island of Masbate, Philippines. Robredo along with the two other passengers who were flying from Lapu-Lapu City to Naga, Camarines Sur were killed in the incident. After what happened, Leni then continued to be strong for her 3 daughters and a few months later, she became the chairperson of the Liberal Party in Camarines Sur. In 2013, Robredo ran in Camarines Sur’s 3rd congressional district against Nelly Favis-Villafuerte who was a member of the Villafuerte who was known by their family dynasty. During her time in the congress, she was also the vice chairman of the House of committees on public accountability, good governance, revision of laws, and other 11 house panels. During those years, Robredo was able to become the co-authors of many bills such as RA10633, HB02630, RA10651, HB04968, RA10717, HB06132, and many more. In 2015, she surprised the nation with the news that she would run as the Vice President of the Philippines with Mar Roxas as his presidential running mate under the Liberal Party. Robredo won the election with 14,418,817 votes defeating her rival, former Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Robredo then was appointed to lead the government agency that focuses on housing programs. Through her term, Robredo was able to do a lot of things especially when the pandemic hit our country. Under the Office of the Vice President (OVP), she was able to provide free shuttle services for frontline workers, free swab tests, free telehealth services, and personal protective equipment. She even raised funds and was able to raise a total of 17.3 million php which was used for relief operations across the country. 

On October 7, 2021 she officially announced that she will be running as the president for the 2022 national elections as an independent candidate. A few hours later, her camp revealed that she picked the senator and Liberal Party president Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan as her running mate.  On February 8, 2022 the official campaign started and Leni along with her team kickstarted their campaign in Leni's hometown, Naga, Camarines Sur. This was followed by more campaigns that took place in Libmanan, Camarines Sur, in Quezon Memorial Circle at Quezon City which was dubbed as the “Pink Sunday” event as it took place on February 13, 2022. After that, Leni then campaigned in the provinces of Capiz, Aklan, and Mindanao and was followed with a rally and caravan in Iligan. Following that, Leni flew to Iloilo to campaign at the Iloilo Sports Complex which held an estimated 40,000 supporters which was preceded with campaigns in Manila and Cavite and just recently, Robredo’s campaign held their largest rally yet that took place at Ortigas Center in Pasig which was called as the “Pasiglaban grand rally” that held an estimated amount of 137,000 attendees. All of these are proof that many people are really rooting for Robredo as the next president of the Philippines and if she wins, she will become the 17th President of the country. 

She really is someone that I believe can lead the country very well. The amount of bills and projects she has done for the Filipino people just proves that she is someone that is not just hungry for the power and entitlement to be the president but someone who really loves the nation and the people living in it. Even just seeing her on TV screens, I can’t help but get goosebumps as she radiates hopefulness, something that the Filipinos really need especially in this time and I believe that if we as a nation, help and support her, we will be living in a much safer and better country.

Marawi Rehabilitation: – Continue programs to rehabilitate Marawi City, which has been in place since the conflict erupted in 2017 – building houses, classrooms, and the like.– Vows to help Marawi no matter if she wins the presidency or not.

Releasing their SALN to the Public: Yes.

Releasing their Medical Records to the Public: Yes.

Prohibition of Candidates Facing Charges: Support, but depends on the weight of the evidence.

Two-Party or Multi-Party System: Two-Party

Parliamentary or Presidential: Presidential

That's why I want to vote for her to be the next President of the Philippines. In my opinion, Vice President Leni Robredo is kind and transparent to the people of the country which is truly admirable, believing in the power of collaboration, and a faith in the people, VP Leni vows to keep working to help her fellow Filipinos, especially those in the fringes of society. She has the ability to lead our country because she  knows how to listen to her fellow men and in my understanding she is one of the politicians with a good record, credentials and achievements even before she entered politics,  she doesn’t even accuse corruption and stealing money from society. For me, she is the most qualified presidential aspirant of the Philippines and that’s why people really love her and support her. We can see how they work together to campaign and let everyone see the reality why VPLeni really deserves the position. I hope everyone will realize how good she is and I can’t wait to call her the next President of the Republic of the Philippines.

In this country and at this stage of our development, we should never think that one class or one leader alone can achieve our national liberation. Let us think of and work for the solidarity of anti-imperialist and anti-feudal classes, groups, and individuals for the common objective of winning national freedom and democracy from that single power which dictates upon us, which exploits us and which acts as the master of the compradors, landlords and corrupt officials in our exploited society. Let us endeavor to work for a broad united front in the national-democratic movement. Let the patriotic businessmen, the students, the workers, the professionals and the peasants unite into an invincible force against U.S. imperialism and feudalism. Let the vast majority of our people—the peasantry and the working class—be the massive base of our democracy. Let a new type of leadership, that of the proletariat, emerge to show us the correct path.

-- Jose Maria Sison, “National Freedom and Class Freedom” speech delivered before the First Student Congress for the Advancement of Nationalism at the Vinzons Hall, University of the Philippines on October 22, 1965; first draft delivered at the University of Nueva Caceres, Naga City, on October 28, 1965.

¿Por qué el 8 de marzo es el día de la mujer?

Por: Raggi Manríquez Diana y Rivera Loa Valeria

El Día Internacional de la Mujer, en palabras de la ONU, "se refiere a las mujeres corrientes como artífice de la historia y hunde sus raíces en la lucha plurisecular de la mujer por participar en la sociedad en pie de igualdad con el hombre". Al escuchar estas palabras, suenan vacías, con poco sentido y no reflejan la verdadera lucha del movimiento feminista y lo que se conmemora en este día.

Mucha gente no conoce el verdadero significado de esta fecha, y es por eso que cada 8 de marzo a las mujeres nos dicen comentarios del estilo “¡En tu día mujer, felicidades!” o recibimos rosas por parte de nuestros compañeros de escuela y trabajo, demostrando así su ignorancia en el tema, por eso, a continuación, te contaremos la historia detrás de esta fecha.

El Día Internacional de la Mujer tiene sus raíces en el movimiento obrero de mediados del siglo XIX y principios del XX, cuando la mujer comenzó a alzar cada vez más su voz, en ese entonces sufríamos de varias limitaciones, ya que no teníamos derecho al voto y acceso a una formación académica, en cambio nuestras condiciones de trabajo eran precarias y nuestra esperanza de vida era mucho menor que la de los hombres.

El primer precedente de esta lucha fue el 8 de marzo de 1857, en Nueva York, Estados Unidos, se realizó la primera gran manifestación pública de las obreras de la fábrica Cotton Textile Factory en Washington Square. Las trabajadoras salieron a la calle a protestar debido a las duras condiciones de trabajo, en general, en ese momento las condiciones laborales eran duras para todos los trabajadores, sin embargo, la situación empeoraba en el sector femenino, cuyos salarios podían llegar a ser menos de la mitad que los de los hombres solo por el hecho de ser mujeres, las protestas terminaron con la intervención violenta de la policía contra las manifestantes.

El 17 de agosto de 1907 se llevó a cabo La Primera Conferencia Internacional de Mujeres Socialistas, en Stuttgart, Alemania, a la cual asistieron 58 participantes de Europa, India y Japón. En esta conferencia se decidió establecer una Secretaría Internacional de la mujer y la persona encargada fue la periodista revolucionaria alemana, Clara Zetkin. En ese entonces, solo las mujeres en Nueva Zelanda y Finlandia tenían derecho al voto, así que, en la conferencia se dio una resolución sobre el sufragio femenino, el cual se convirtió en el punto de partida de una lucha por los derechos políticos de la mujer.

El 5 de marzo de 1908, en la Cotton Textil Factory, misma fábrica en la que trabajaban las manifestantes de 1857, surgió una huelga en la cual un grupo de 40 mil mujeres reclamaba la igualdad salarial, la disminución de la jornada laboral a 10 horas, y un tiempo para poder dar el pecho a sus hijos. El dueño de la fábrica ordenó cerrar las puertas del edificio para que las mujeres desistieran y abandonaran el lugar, sin embargo, el resultado fue el incendio que trajo la muerte de 129 obreras que se encontraban en el interior de la fábrica, hay una creencia que dice que el humo que salía de las telas incendiadas era morado, el color representativo de la lucha feminista hoy en día. Lamentablemente han sucedido casos parecidos a este, por ejemplo, en nuestro país, durante el terremoto de 1985 se destruyeron más de 800 talleres textiles, en los que las costureras tenían condiciones de trabajo precarias, muchas murieron porque para evitar robos, los jefes cerraban la puerta con llave y no podían escapar.

En agosto del año de 1910 se dio La Segunda Conferencia Internacional de Mujeres Socialistas, en Copenhague, Dinamarca. En esta conferencia, Clara Zetkin sugirió la idea de conmemorar un día de la mujer a nivel global, para que sirviera de homenaje al movimiento en favor de los derechos de la mujer y para ayudar a conseguir el sufragio femenino universal. Esta idea fue aprobada unánimemente por más de 100 mujeres, procedentes de 17 países, sin embargo, no se estableció una fecha fija para la conmemoración.

Y es así como un año después, el 19 de marzo de 1911, se celebra por primera vez el Día Internacional de la Mujer, en países, como: Alemania, Austria, Dinamarca y Suiza, con manifestaciones de más de un millón de personas, en las que se exigían derecho al voto, ocupar cargos públicos, formación profesional y la no discriminación laboral. Según la ONU esta conmemoración además serviría como protesta contra la naciente Primera Guerra Mundial.

En el año de 1917, se da uno de los sucesos claves para que actualmente se celebre el Día Internacional de la Mujer el 8 de marzo. Las obreras textiles de San Petersburgo dieron origen a lo que pondría fin a más de un milenio de represión zarista, en medio de las protestas de La Gran Guerra, las mujeres rusas, como reacción ante las dos millones de muertes de sus soldados, el último domingo de febrero, salen a las calles, gritando el lema “¡Pan y paz!”, esta huelga fue duramente criticada por los dirigentes políticos, el zar Nicolás II ordenó “Disparar si fuera necesario para acabar con la revolución de las mujeres", esta medida fracasó y en su lugar comenzó "La Revolución de Febrero", a la cual también se sumaron los obreros rusos, esta revuelta acabó con la abdicación de Nicolás II. En abril de 1917 el gobierno provisional concedió a las mujeres el derecho al voto, siendo Rusia el primer país en concederlo sin ningún tipo de restricciones.

La fecha en la que comenzó esta huelga está marcada en el calendario juliano como 23 de febrero, mientras que en el calendario gregoriano como el 8 de marzo, la fecha celebrada actualmente.

En 1945 se funda la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) para fomentar la cooperación internacional tras la devastación de la II Guerra Mundial. Finalmente, en 1975, tres décadas después de su formación, la ONU establece y celebra por primera vez el Día Internacional de la Mujer el 8 de marzo.

Gracias a este movimiento, hoy en día las mujeres gozamos de varios derechos que antes no teníamos, como lo es la educación y el derecho a votar. Tan solo el año pasado, 2020, el 5 de noviembre en México se aprobó la Ley Olimpia en todo el país, la cual castiga el acoso digital con desde tres hasta seis años de prisión. El pasado febrero de 2021 el Congreso de la Ciudad de México aprobó la “Ley Ingrid”, que castiga con hasta seis años de prisión a quienes difundan imágenes de las víctimas de feminicidios. Estos logros son alentadores ya que significan que el movimiento está teniendo cada vez más resultados, pero… ¿Sigue siendo necesario? Por supuesto que sí, las mujeres seguimos siendo valoradas por cómo nos vemos y se nos imponen estándares de belleza imposibles de cumplir, al salir es muy común sufrir acoso callejero, en las escuelas sigue siendo muy común el acoso y abuso sexual por parte de los maestros (muchas veces son encubiertos por la escuela) y los alumnos, se calcula que en México las mujeres ganan 30% menos que sus colegas hombres, aproximadamente cada 40 minutos hay una violación y más de 10 mujeres mueren al día a causa de feminicidio. Estas son solo algunas razones por las que el movimiento aún no ha acabado y sigue siendo muy necesario, y es por eso que esta fecha se utiliza para conmemorar la lucha feminista y dar visibilidad a los problemas que sufrimos como mujeres cada día.

Day 3: Describe your Family:

I have 3 siblings and I'm the youngest. Mom and Dad have been married for almost 30 years. We are an average class. We are not that rich and not that poor, just in the middle.

My mom's name is Ma. Victoria D. Millares. She's a public teacher in Libmanan, Camarines Sur. She's been in the service for 23 years and she's planning to retire already this year. She's originally in Lagonoy, Camarines Sur and also has 3 siblings. Her father died already but Mama's still alive and so strong she'll be turning 99 years old in November.

My dad's name is Virgilio R. Millares. He's a teaher in Junior High School in the University of Nueva Caceres. His family is big. He has 11 siblings and he's the 3rd. He doesn't have any plans on retiring yet because he knows he'll be just sitting at home doing nothing. Haha. Lola and lolo are already dead and only my eldest brother gets to meet my lolo.

This is my eldest brother's family. He's name is Ralph Jonathan D. Millares and his wife's name is Maila C. Millares. They are both staying in Dubai for work. My brother's a fireman and been staying there for almost 10 years. My sister-in-law is still looking for a job there.

They have 2 kids. Chloey Xiantahl Rein who's a freshman in Junior High and Elijah Kobe Carlisle is a Grade 3 student. They are both saying here in Naga.

This is my sister's family. Her name is Kimberly Camille M. Ballado and she's marries to Oscar T. Ballado Jr. They are living in Manila because they have a luxury watch business.

They have 3 kids. Giulian Malik is their eldest and she's a Grade 3 at Assumption College. Next is, Giulius Mahdi who's studying in Makati Christian Hope as well as Giulio Mahdi. They're just 1 year apart that's why they look like twins. Giulius' in Kinder and Giulio's in Pre-Kinder.

And lastly, my brother who is Kirby Israel and his wife is Michelle R. Millares. My brother's a fireman here in Naga and My sister-in-law is a freelance make up artist. Love how she's very independent and she pursues her passion.

They have 2 kids. Kael Maverick and Kaelyn Margoritte. Kael is in Grade and Kaelyn is 2 years old.

This is our growing family. None of my siblings is still planning to have another child. So, I think that's about it.

And well for me, as the youngest and as the person who saw how it is tiring to build a family is still childless HAHA I believe that if you're really ready, then that's the only time you should have one. I'm only turning 22 and still has a lot of plans for my future. I think I'll save for it when I'm truly ready. For now, lots of furry dogs and cats are my babies.

She passed the bar exams in 1997 (Wikipedia). Marcos, Jr. insisted he obtained a degree from the University of Oxford. although “There is no recorded link between the BA [Bachelor of Arts] and the Special Diploma, and the Special Diploma was not a full graduate Diploma,” said Cathy King, private secretary to the registrar at Oxford University, in an email sent to Filipino artist Ruston Banal who inquired with Oxford about Marcos’ education there.  https://www.instagram.com/p/CdJz_w0hkca/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Leni Robredo runs for President in the 2022 Presidential Elections as an opposition. She is promoted by the masses through the phrase “Laban Leni” and the color pink, or more specifically, fuschia.

Firstly, let’s talk about her educational background. According to Michael Bueza in Are 2016 VP Bets Truthful About Academic Degress? (February 2016), she earned an Economics degree in University of the Philippines Diliman around 1986 and later took law at the University of Nueva Caceres, which she also completed in 1992.

Secondly, we shall also learn about what she has accomplished while working in the political field. The laws she has passed so far are the following: Republic Act 10708 (The Tax Incentives Management and Transparency Act), Republic Act 10661 (National Children’s Month Act), Republic Act 10646 (Charter of the Quezon City Development Authority), Republic Act 10665 (Open High School System Act), Republic Act 10638 (extending the corporate life of the Philippine National Railways for another 50 years), and Republic Act 10707 (rationalizing and strengthening the probation system).

Meanwhile, the bills she has filed are: House Bill 3432 (Comprehensive Anti-Discrimination), House Bill 4911 (People Empowerment Bill), and House Bill 5829 (Act to declare the month of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month). For her accomplishments during the COVID-19 pandemic, she lacked funds for her project and her budget was cut off. She states that the lack of resources made it difficult for her to provide service to the public. (CNN Philippines, 2021) In Manila Bulletin, it shows that—in spite of her disadvantages—she manages to launch COVID-19 projects in 6 areas. She has given post-COVID-19 vaccine care kits, offered two weeks worth of food for the families affected, started a community pantry with her family, and made free antigen testing possible.

Lastly, for her moral stands in social issues, here is what she shows us. In 2016, during the vice presidential debate, she rejected the idea of same-sex marriage. This may seem like homophobia to some, but she tries to elaborate that she prefers same-sex union than same-sex marriage. 3 years later, she states that lawmakers should use the current transphobic events as a sign to pass SOGIE Bill. She is a supporter of the LGBTQ+ in general. Fast forward to 2021, Leni repeats her stand in same-sex union during a talk with Rappler. However, this time, she states that she is against abortion and cannot accept it. When the Anti-terror Bill was proposed in 2020, the Vice President questioned it. She asked if the bill was going against terrorists, or just critics.

Overall, she has been the least evil out of all the candidates. Even though she has a few negative aspects, such as her anti-abortion stand, she is someone of good credentials.
