1.

Do you believe that there is actual rebellion in Mindanao, which

necessitated the extension of Martial Law up to the end of
2019?

2. In the provinces, there are many cases wherein beneficiaries of

4Ps or the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program would use
their cash grants to finance their gambling, alcoholism and
other vices. Some would even pawn their ATMs to loan sharks
or actually give the same to pay off debts. As a Senator, how
will you address this loophole in the program?

3. Does a child trafficker who subjects his victims who are as

young as 4 years old, to child pornography and rape deserve
death penalty?

4. Can you reveal to us one character flaw you have which will
affect your work as a Senator? And how will you deal with it?

5. It has been said that RA 9262 or the Violence Against Women

and Children Act is one of the greatest achievements in law to
protect Women’s Rights. There is however a clamor among
men particularly, that this law is unfair to them. Do you agree? If
so, is there anything in the law, which you seek to amend?

6. How will you guarantee to us that when elected, you will not
engage in graft and corrupt practices?

7. Mindanao has some of the most impoverished provinces in the

country, what do you think is the root cause of this socio-
economic problem and how will you address this as a Senator?

QUESTIONS FOR OPEN FORUM:

8. Question for SAMIRA GUTOC from Norlainie Omar:

In the recent Bangsamoro Plebiscite, Sulu rejected the
BOL, yet it shall have no impact on the region as a
provision in the BOL does not allow for any ARMM
province to “opt out” of the new BARMM. Is the said
provision not a curtailment on the constitutional rights of
the Sulu people to choose?

9. Question for GARY ALEJANO from Jonathan Pagaduan:

What issues or programs as a senator would you be

willing to collaborate with President Duterte?

10. Question for ERIN TAÑADA from JC Pailano:

 Photo of you seemingly refusing to shake hands with a
fish vendor has circulated on social media and received
negative attention. Can you explain the said photos to us?

11. Question for PILO HILBAY from Michel Bajo:

Assuming that you were not running under the Liberal

Party, who among the endorsed candidates of the
President will you vote for and why?

12. Question for PILO HILBAY from Dolly Ranises:

"You have stated before that rice tarrification is a short-

term solution for a long-term problem. What then is your
specific and feasible long-term solution, if any?"

13. QUESTION FOR MARCELINO ARIAS from Areo

Requeron:

Majority of the cities in Mindanao use “tricycle”, “pedicab”

or “trisikad” as a form of commute. Based from public
experience, most of the drivers have been unruly,
disrespectful, and have lost sight of their primary purpose,
which is public convenience. How can you regulate and/or
improve public transportation vis-a-vis the current form
and in what way?
