As the chairman of the Senate Committee on Justice and Human Rights, I advocate for stronger enforcement of the Kasambahay Law.
Higher penalties for abusive employers, accountability on local government response, a kasambahay registry, and improved inter-agency coordination.
Fake News - Reports circulating that I ordered a forced evacuation of Tagaytay residents is pure fake news - let us join hands in helping others and not spreading lies.
As former Mayor of Tagaytay City we advise tourists to avoid the City at the moment in view of the new ongoing eruption of Taal Volcano. We encourage residents of Batangas to move away from the danger zones. We will try to accommodate the evacuees in our barangay halls and gyms

We should not compromise education. The government should provide free public education at all levels.
The lack of national government funds should not hinder the Filipino youth to access opportunities.
Given the strain on public funds caused by high dropout rates, the Department of Finance (DOF) suggested that the government's free tertiary education program be reserved for deserving students.

Our Republic is a sovereign and democratic State which is founded on the will of the people,which,in turn, endows our government with its vast and awesome powers. Maintaining their balance is a time-honored principle of separation of powers,which is enshrined in our Constitution.
Understanding our maritime boundaries is vital to national sovereignty.
The Maritime Zones Act we are working on will precisely define Philippine’s maritime, contiguous, & EEZ limits, ensuring clear jurisdiction over our waters against foreign intrusions.
