00:00... Sa dulo wala naman tayong batas na pumipigil kung sinong nais tumakbo. Wala rin namang limitasyon kung sinong pwedeng i-voto o bawal i-voto ng ating mga kababayan. Sa isang demokrasya, majority always wins.
00:16... na nagkakataon sila ang nananalo, ibig sabihin nun sila ang gusto ng maramis mas maramis sa ating mga butante. Hindi mo namang pwedeng sabihin na porkit may kamag-anak sa Senado ngayon, eh hindi nila alam yun. Akala nila unang pala yun sa Senado.

01:04... na makikialam ako sa pagbalangkas niyan ay klarong kaso ng conflict of interest. Rason para hindi ko dapat pag-imasukan maliba nalaman kung ang voto ko kailangan para mapasayan, in which case that will be a vote against interest, which is allowed by our laws and the Constitution.
