Supporters of United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) presidential bet Vice President Jejomar C. Binay and Vice-Presidential bet Senator Gregorio “Gringo” Honasan – estimated at 30,000 by Mandaluyong city hall officials – gathered along Nueve de Febrero and F. Martinez streets in Mandaluyong Tuesday for the proclamation rally of the UNA slate.
In his speech, Binay laid down four major programs aimed to improve the plight of the poor.
Binay promised to scrap the income tax for those earning P30,000 and below and said he will continue and improve the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program.
He also promised to replicate what he did in Makati by providing free health care to the poor and giving 20 million students free books, uniform, and school supplies.
Binay’s platform of government “Gaganda Ang Buhay” complements Honasan’s “Patas Ang Laban” that when combined means EQUALITY leads to BETTER LIVES.
Senator Honasan is an advocate Pro-Poor Governance & Ideology by integrating poverty reduction, respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms to allow people to live with dignity.
“The key to progress is to adopt economic and social policies that are responsive to the people’s needs, while holding decision makers accountable to the people and make them adhere to the rule of Law,” he said of his platform of government.
“We need to harness our natural resources to ensure sustainable development, maximize the potential of an empowered citizenry, and the economic impact of the business sector, to attain the liberalization of the less fortunate citizens from poverty and unconscionable inequality,” Senator Honasan added.
