PH senatorial bets continue to hit the trail to woo votes

With 69 days to go before elections, senatorial candidates continued to solicit votes —visiting public markets, joining festivals, and attending local gatherings in various parts of the country.

In a meeting of military retirees, veterans, and women's groups in Calamba, Laguna, independent candidate Ariel Querubin said the pension increases should cover all retirees, not just uniformed personnel, saying everyone is impacted by inflation. 

“Yung pensyon dapat itaas po yan hindi lamang para sa military kasi hindi lang naman yung military o yung mga retirees na mga men in uniform ang nasasaktan dito sa inflation,” he said.

The retired Marines officer added that pension rates should be regularly adjusted to match the increasing cost of living.

In a report on "Saksi," Leody de Guzman and Luke Espiritu visited fisherfolk communities in Zamboanga Sibugay.  

In Cebu, Angelo de Alban pitched for free therapy and developmental assessment for the Filipinos.

Senator Imee Marcos discussed agricultural programs in Palawan.

Former senator Manny Pacquiao said he wants free housing for indigents in a visit to Bohol while former Interior chief Benhur Abalos talked about peace and order.

Senator Bong Revilla joined the Kabute Festival celebration in Cavite.

Makabayan candidates Danilo Ramos and Ronnel Arambulo talked with vendors and farmers at the Lipunan Public Market in Roxas City.
