midterm elections – The ActiveTalker http://theactivetalker.com Musings of an active talker Tue, 27 Aug 2013 01:44:38 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2.2 I Support Rep. Teddy A. Casiño for Senator http://theactivetalker.com/2013/05/i-support-rep-teddy-a-casino-for-senator/ http://theactivetalker.com/2013/05/i-support-rep-teddy-a-casino-for-senator/#comments Fri, 10 May 2013 06:10:02 +0000 http://theactivetalker.com/2013/05/i-support-rep-teddy-a-casino-for-senator/ The May 13, 2013 midterm elections in the Philippines is just around the corner. I’m a registered voter in my home province, but unfrotunately, the leave I requested was not approved. Alas, I cannot exercise my right to vote.

Had my leave been approved, I would’ve voted for Rep. Teddy A. Casiño. He is running for a seat at the Upper House of the Congress, also known as the Senate.

Who is he and why I would’ve voted for him? He is the sole bet of the coalition of 12 Philippine progessive Partylists called Makabayan. He authored/sponsored numerous House Measures. Some of them are: HB01483 (an act defining discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity and providing penalties…), HB01961 (act regulationg tuition and other fees of private educational institutions), HB02308 (act providing for a mandatory nationwide child nutrition program in all public elementary and barangay day care centers). Here’s the complete list from the Congress website.

Since I cannot personally cast my vote for him, this is the least thing I can do, inform people of how deserving he is to be voted for Senate. Kay Teddy Casiño, panalo ang karaniwang tao!
