Senate Minority Leader Alan Cayetano urged leaders from different sectors and political affiliations to avoid worsening the hardships experienced by Filipinos and work together to address the country’s problems.
Cayetano said postponing solutions to national issues until 2028 would give the impression that leaders were giving up on their remaining years in office and allowing Filipinos to continue suffering.
He stressed that leaders should not take that approach, emphasizing the need to address problems instead of delaying action.
Cayetano said political differences should be set aside so leaders can identify common ground and find ways to help one another.
He encouraged officials and other sectoral leaders to focus on areas where they can agree despite their differing political views.
The senator also pointed out that no country is free from problems or corruption.
However, he said what distinguishes other countries is their ability to develop love for God and for one another.
Cayetano’s remarks underscored his call for cooperation among political leaders and different sectors, urging them to prioritize the welfare of Filipinos rather than allow political divisions to delay efforts to address the country’s challenges.
