    FEEDBACK

    • Been following po your campaign and also news in the Philippines... nakakalungkot lang po minsan makita ang ating mga kababayan divided and sometimes even hating each other just because they have different opinions and preferences sa mga candidate nila sa darating na election.

      With my friends we always discuss who we are to vote and why. Ma'm I believe in your programs and principles. I believe that you should have been the vice president even before and you should be the one to be now in these difficult times sa ating bansa. I believe po na kayo po ang may puso at dedication para makagawa ng mabuti para sa nakakarami.

      Salamat po ma'm Loren at alam ko po minsan na nakakapagod ang pangangampanya pero don't give up po. Sana po ang pagmamahal at pangangailangan ng maraming naghihirap ang magbigay sa inyo ng lakas pa para magpatuloy na maparating ang pagasa sa nakakarami.
