    gud day Madam, kindly according to your platform why you only incline to provide more jobs to women rather than men? To avoid bias, it should be treated equal to provide jobs for both men and women. and also you are pushing livelihood projects out of waste if you win in senate race, madam can you help and continue livelihood projects whether you win or lose? filipinos need extra jobs to sustain their daily living. Another, we request to explain to the public why you hurt millions of Nurses working abroad? and some of Nurses really hurt in what you have said to them, can you bring it back the trust of these millions of registered nurse and registered voters? some of nurses commented that to become a Senator must be serious at all times and should not make a joke that will hurt their feelings. filipino people loves you, and hoping that you can help them and alleviate their poverty situation and they believe you will protect nurses working abroad and to find what comprehensive benefits you can give to them if they retire or come back in the Philippines. God Bless.

    Sa paningin ko walang pwedeng pag hangaan ang plataforma ni Cynthia Villar para iboto siya sa Senado. Ano ang pinagsasabi niyang pra sa kapakanan ng mga babae? Bakit hanggang ngayon ba wala pa rin bang karapatan ang mga babae? At seguro naman sa dinami dameng party lists at NGOs patungkol sa women’s right… hindi na kailangan pa ang isang senador sa gampaning ito! Magapapayaman lang siya at pananatilihin ang kapapakanan ng kanyang familia hindi ng mga kababaihan!

    WAG NA NATIN SIYANG IBOTO!!!
