Madalas natin siya ma-judge pero pag nabasa mo yung mga nagawa niya, malalaman mong nag-benefit na rin ang mga Pilipino. Kahit ako, I judged him always kasi palagi siyang tahimik lang. Pero may aksyon din naman pala siya. Di kailangan mag-ingay palagi and nakatulong din siguro yung Batang Quiapo kaya until now relevant pa rin siya. Saludo, Senator Lito Lapid.
