CEBUANO voters should choose a leader who has principles and can decide on his own.

This was the message of Davao del Norte Gov. Edwin Hubahib, secretary general of Partido Reporma, the party chaired by Sen. Panfilo Lacson, who is running for the presidency for the second time since 2004.

Hubahib said the people should ponder on who should be elected for the highest seat of the Philippine government and should look for qualities that can help the nation recover from the ongoing pandemic.

“The leader that we need for the year 2022 should be brave, experienced, a heart who listens to the struggles of the poor, a leader that has the right idea to bring back the economy, and a leader that has no stains of corruption,” he said in Cebuano.

Lacson, a former police chief, is seeking the presidency. The senator’s running mate is vice-presidential aspirant Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III. Sotto is the current chairman of Nationalist People’s Coalition.
