Balik Tanaw kay FPJ with Mary Grace Poe - Llamanzares

Sharing her father’s passion to serve and desire to help the poor, she understands that poverty can break the Filipino family and bring great harm to our children. 

That's like father, like daughter. She is Grace Poe, FPJ’s daughter.

Grace Poe sees the need to focus poverty alleviation efforts on the family as a basic social institution. She wants government to take a more active role in helping children of poor families. She believes that the future of our nation depends on the kind of citizens these children will become.

She commit herself to a platform that builds on her father’s social covenant and focuses on three areas: Poverty alleviation, Opportunities for all, especially the children, and Electoral reforms.

"My father called for a “social covenant” to rebuild Philippine society and lead our nation towards unity and sustainable development. His goal was addressing the poverty problem. He was confident that with our people’s support, it was possible to have a country where every Filipino can aspire for and live the good life."

It's a great recent blogcon with Grace. That was  a night of remembering Fernando Poe Jr. where we  relive the legacy of 'Da King' whose death anniversary we will celebrate on 14 Dec 2012.
