    Palagi niang sinasabi nakulong siya noong regimeng Marcos… ipinapalabas na piolitical talaga ang pag kaka kulong niya. Pwede ba, sa ngalanng kanyang panginoon huwag na po siyang manloko! Nakulong siya dahil sa personal niyang issue sa mga land grabbers sa Bulacan na kapwa niya land grabber din! At saka halatang halata na may plano ang pamilyang Villanueva na tumakbo sa pagka presidente hindi man siya o ang kanyang anak sa 2016 elections!

    HUWAG NA NATIN SIYANG IBOTO!!!! Hindi niya pa ba nahahalata na ayaw sa kanya ng tao.. makailan ng eleckyon na ni reject siya ng karamihan!

      Gerry Vargas, you made a sweeping and judgmental statement na nanloloko siya? Tell us what is your basis na manloloko siya?

      Mukhang hindi mo pa alam ang tunay na background at mabuting layunin ni Bro Eddie and yet you have a ridiculous conclusion!

      Kumpara sa iyo G. Vargas, iniisa isa ko at inalam ko ang background niya at sinuri ko kung papano siya maglahad ng plataporma at sumagot sa mga tanong sa kanya sa mga forum at debate at sa aking palagay higit at lamang si Bro Eddie sa lahat ng kandidato sa pagkasenador. Mahusay ang kanyang layunin at kawalan ng bayang Filipino na hindi mahalal ang katulad niya.

      Kaya wag kang basta basta manghusga lalo na kung ang hinuhusgahan mo ay ang taong ang hangad ay para sa tapat na serbisyo at pag-unlad hindi ng sarili kundi ng bayan!
