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.

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."
