Cayetano Blasts Poe-Escudero for "Manila-first policy"

Office of the Senate Majority Leader
Alan Peter S. Cayetano
Rm. 603 GSIS Complex Senate of the Philippines Roxas Blvd Pasay City
         

PRESS RELEASE
07 January 2016
 
 
Cayetano blasts Poe-Escudero for "Manila-first policy", rest of the country second priority
 
                                           
“Failure is guaranteed for those who do not even want to try.”

This is what Senate Majority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano said as he contradicted fellow vice presidential aspirant Senator Francis "Chiz" Escudero's recent statement that a federalism approach to government would not work well in the Philippine setup.

Reacting to Escudero's criticism over Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte's call for a Federal form of government, Cayetano dubbed the latter's account as a "classic Manila-centric" attitude and remained firm that inclusive growth can only be achieved if power and resources are equally distributed among all the regions.

“It is clear that there are some people who just want to get votes and win but lack the passion and the vision to change the country. They offer the same solutions that have failed miserably in the past and will not go to great extents to create real changes that people want and need,” Cayetano lamented.

"This ‘Manila first, other regions later policy' of Senator Escudero and his running mate, Senator Grace Poe, is actually the main cause for underdevelopment and the lack of jobs for our people in other parts of the country. It's apparent that their tandem only wants to limit economic growth and improvement in the National Capital Region," he added.

Cayetano further said Escudero’s position on the matter is “understandable” because as the former chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance, Escudero would naturally defend the national budget, which allocates one-third of the country’s funds to Metro Manila while other regions only get two to four percent each.

The senator also took a jab at Escudero for questioning his motive in backing Duterte’s call, stressing that he has been supporting the same agenda even before his tandem with the Davao mayor was formalized. 

“For the past two years, I have been pushing for the decongestion of Metro Manila by decentralizing government and promoting countryside development. This has been my call since the very beginning,” Cayetano pointed out.
 
“It happens to be very much aligned with Mayor Duterte’s Federalism approach. We share the same vision, that’s why I chose to support him. Dahil pareho kaming naniniwala na ang kailangan ng bansa ay isang gobyernong magbibigay ng matapang na solusyon at mabilis na aksyon,” he added.

Cayetano has long been urging government to fund more programs that will promote development among other regions in the country. He earlier stressed that bolder solutions and swifter action are needed to attain inclusive growth, as many Filipinos living outside the metropolis still feel left behind.

"The very essence of Federalism is to ensure that growth and prosperity are spread to every part of the Philippines, not just in Manila. It's a pity that Senators Poe and Escudero are against this. Kawawa naman ang ibang parte ng bansa kung sila ang mamumuno," Cayetano concluded. ###

Heart Will Stop Painting if ...


Heart will stop painting if….

Heart Evangelista and husband Sen. Chiz Escudero at the opening of the PortrAYAL exhibit where Heart’s displayed work was titled Forgotten
For a while, Heart Evangelista stopped painting when she felt that her style was not improving. But it was her husband, Sen. Chiz Escudero, who rekindled Heart’s interest in painting when he gave her a big canvas as pasalubong from his trip to Europe.
But if…and that’s the BIG IF…Chiz decides to run for whatever position in 2016, sources said that Heart will have no choice but to temporarily quit painting again since she will have to hit the campaign trail with him.
As of now, Chiz is mum about his plan even if it’s easy to tell just by reading his lips and discerning his actions (that speak louder than words).
When Funfare asked Chiz about it during a brief “ambush” interview two Saturdays ago when he fetched Heart at GMA after the airing of Startalk (in which Heart is a co-host), he admitted that he and Sen. Grace Poe have been constantly in touch. “In fact,” said Chiz, “I was with Grace the other night with her mom (Susan Roces).”
Like Grace who, according to surveys, is a popular choice for the presidency, Chiz is an Independent (although they can be “adopted” by any party). Having been friends for years, Grace and Chiz are comfortable with each other. Chiz was the spokesman for Grace’s father FPJ when he ran for president in 2004. FPJ was believed to have won, but…
From Startalk, Heart and Chiz proceeded to SM Megamall A.R.T. Center where Chiz opened PortrAYAL (LAYA), the benefit exhibit of the Actors Guild of the Philippines. As one of the participants, Heart chose a 48”x 72” oil painting called Forgotten. Asked why she called it that, Heart simply smiled.

The start for the filing of COCs (Certificates Of Candidacy) is in October, barely two months away. If you’ve been following the front pages, you must be wondering why Grace insisted on having Chiz with her on a nationwide sortie with DILG Sec. Mar Roxas (the alleged administration standard bearer) suggested by Pres. Noynoy Aquino. Watch the front pages for the latest development.
Incidentally, could it be true that Grace and Chiz will issue a “joint statement” anytime…soon? Stand by.
