Gordon made the call for the Filipino youth to speak up and assert their rights to participate in public afairs as he recalled his time as a law student who actively engaged in the 1971 Constitutional Convention (ConCon) 50 years ago.

Senator Richard Gordon on Thursday expressed hope the younger generation of Filipinos would engage in the national discourse about important issues that matter to them in the run up to the May 2022 national elections.

“Today, as our country is mired in a deep political divide, the youth play a very important role and contribution in shaping the political discourse. We need to listen more to the concerns and issues of our young people,” he added. As the youngest delegate, the senator swore in Diosdado Macapagal as president of the 1971 ConCon, replacing then president Carlos P. Garcia who died 13 days after the convention was convened.

During his stint here, Gordon initiated a study on the strategic use of Subic and its possible conversion into a freeport, serving as inspiration for the establishment of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, which he chaired from 1992 to 1998.

Magbayad kana! Di kana nahihiya ceo and chairman senator

Aren’t the youths actively participating in public affairs issues? However, it’s done through social media. I don’t understand his statement. Ano yan, para May masabi lang?

You won’t win DickGordonDG. I do not care if Pharmally execs are guilty or not for as long as their constitutional rights are protected; you did not.

Sa social media nakakapagsalita na lahat. Hindi ka ba updated Mr. Gordon?
