Pulse Asia Surveys: Who Can Afford To Be Optimistic
Running a campaign for a senatorial seat is not cheap. I’ve always wondered how people would willingly throw millions down the drain in the face of prospects that are almost nil. The only senatoriable who lost an election badly (out of the top 20) to ever make it to the winners’ circle in the past four elections is Jamby Madrigal.

Senator Manolo Quezon
For years now, Manuel Quezon III (more famously known as Manolo Quezon) has been dishing on point columns on various publications and putting the issues in a new perspective on his weekly talk-show-slash-lecture-program “The Explainer”. Manolo Quezon personifies what most Filipinos would like in a leader – level-headed, rational, responsive and passionate without the trappings of traditional politics.
