KUMPIRMADO!Umamin na! Alejano, Tatakbo sa Senado! “Meron akong enough experience para sa senado”

Magdalo party-list Representative Gary Alejano on Monday said he  will run for senator in the 2019 elections if his party decides so.

Alejano said the Magdalo party is currently discussing its participation in the upcoming elections.

“Kung ‘yan ang… finally magdesisyon ang grupo, I have to abide by the decision of the group,” Alejano said when asked by reporters in a phone interview if he is inclined to run for senator.

“Ang pinaglalaban ng grupo ay kasama rin ako diyan. Kailangan lamang magkaroon ng collegial decision at consultation dahil ang pinaglalaban dito ay hindi lang personal, ito ay collective na pinaglalaban,” he said.

Senator Antonio Trillanes IV on Thursday said the Magdalo Executive Committee is currently discussing the extent of its participation in the 2019 elections.

They will, however, push Alejano to run for a position in the Senate.

Trillanes is already on his second and last term as senator and will not be able to seek reelection in the May 2019 midterm polls.

Alejano pointed out that all decisions of the Magdalo party is based on its advocacy.

“Lahat naman ng aming ginawa, katulad nung pagtakbo ni Senator Trillanes sa Senado at pagsali sa party-list sa Kongreso, lahat ‘yan ay in pursuit sa adbokasiya na aming sinimulan,” he said.

“Alam n’yo naman, nag-alsa tayo sa gobyerno, we want to influence policies for the greater benefit of the Filipinos,” he added.

The lawmaker said that while his party lacks sufficient resources, it will not be a hindrance for them to win a seat in the Senate.

“Naniniwala kami na even with the menial resource, susuportahan pa rin tayo ng taumbayan at susuportahan din naman ng ibang leader sa local,” he said.

Alejano also said his party is open to forging an alliance with other opposition groups for the upcoming elections.

He said it is necessary for opposition to join together for a “good fight” in the coming midterm polls.

“Sa tingin ko naman kailangan talagang ‘mag-volt in’ sa ibang mga grupo considering the fact na ang kasalukuyang administrasyon na aside from lahat ay gustong magpakitang-gilas kaya sumasama sa PDP, ay napakabigat din ng partidong ito,” Alejano said, referring to President Rodrigo Duterte’s political party Partido Demokratiko Pilipino–Lakas ng Bayan.

“As of now nag-uusap pa naman ang mga grupo. But definitely ang nakikita namin ay sa grupo ng Tindig Pilipinas na kung saan ay coalition ito ng iba’t ibang grupo, at yung Liberal Party, definitely makakasama din natin ‘yan,” he added.

Alejano thinks he possesses the qualifications to become a senator.

“Kung darating ang punto na ‘yan ay dapat ihahanda ko ang sarili ko kasi hindi naman natin masabi talaga ano ang lebel ng kahandaan,” he said.

“The fact na nakadalawang terms na ako sa legislation, sa tingin ko po meron na akong enough experience para sa posisyon na senador,” he added.

Alejano has served as representative of the Magdalo party-list for the 16th and 17th Congress.

“The fact na nakadalawang terms na ako sa legislation, sa tingin ko po meron na akong enough experience para sa posisyon na senador.”

Ito ang naging pahayag ni Magdalo Congressman Gary Alejano nang matanong siya tungkol sa posibilidad na pagtakbo bilang senador. Ayon pa kay Alejano, bukas daw ang grupo nilang Magdalo na makipag-alyansa sa ilang political parties.

“Sa tingin ko naman kailangan talagang ‘mag-volt in’ sa ibang mga grupo considering the fact na ang kasalukuyang administrasyon na aside from lahat ay gustong magpakitang-gilas kaya sumasama sa PDP, ay napakabigat din ng partidong ito… As of now nag-uusap pa naman ang mga grupo. But definitely ang nakikita namin ay sa grupo ng Tindig Pilipinas na kung saan ay coalition ito ng iba’t ibang grupo, at yung Liberal Party, definitely makakasama din natin ‘yan,” sabi pa ni Alejano.

Ang ideya ng pagtakbo ni Alejano ay una ng ibinulalas ni Senador Antonio Trillnaes sa isang presscon. Si Trillanes ay nasa ikalawa at huli niyang termino bilang senador at hindi na maaring tumakbo sa senado sa 2019.

Pangungutya naman ang inabot ni Alejano sa mga tao. Ito po ang kanilang mga komento at reaksyon.
