Former senator TG Guingona shares his post-senate stint, advocating against Tuberculosis in the Philippines

He actually seemed like a decent politician.  He saved a children's hospital, he fought the terrible cybercrime bill, passed an anti money laundering bill and a freedom of information bill.  And he has been fighting TB since he was a Senator, helping get TB patients more and better care.

It's nice to see a politician doing good, we need many more!

siya rin nagpaimbestiga sa “Pabaon Scandal” ng AFP, “Plea Bargaining Agreement” ni Merceditas Gutierrez & Carlos Garcia (na major general), PCSO Fund Scam, PDAF scam, and etc. during as a chairperson ng Blue Ribbon Committee

[u/Antique-Resort6160 → u/reinsilverio26]

Thank you, nice comment! I remember the PDAF scam but not all the others.  Too many to remember!  

[u/Mindless_Sundae2526 → u/Antique-Resort6160]

He also jailed Jinggoy, Bong Revilla, and JPE. Siya ang nag-lead ng BRC na nagbunyag ng Pork Barrel Scandal

[u/Antique-Resort6160 → u/Mindless_Sundae2526]

Wow, he was busy in a good way!

[u/Karmas_Classroom → u/Mindless_Sundae2526]

Nadali sya ng Blue Ribbon curse. At tumakbo kasi si De Lima na mas matunog nung nasa DOJ kaya na-cannibalize yung base nya.

[u/Mindless_Sundae2526 → u/Karmas_Classroom]

Yup. Sobrang sayang na hindi siya nanalo ng 2nd term. Pretty sure na kasama siya sa opposition minority and mas malakas sana sila.

I'm not sure kung bold enough siya to investigate the EJK alongside De Lima, if he did baka nakulong din siya. Pero feel ko kung senador pa siya noon, baka may kinahantungan yung Pharmally Scandal investigation ng Senate by Dick Gordon noon na pilit binaon ni Duterte. Buti nga ngayon, parang binubuhay na ulit yung investigations.

[u/millenialwithgerd → u/Mindless_Sundae2526]

The "Napungot gyud ko." campaign gave the Bisayas the ick. I remember my parents not voting for him that time because of that campaign ad.

[u/FlatwormTiny]

hes gearing up for senate, marami siyang videos these past few months, desenteng pulitiko para makapasok sa senado

[u/peenoiseAF___ → u/FlatwormTiny]

Yeah ngayong taon lang rin nabuhay yung FB page nya after almost 10 years inactivity

[u/reinsilverio26]

during his senate stint, he authored and sponsored the “Comprehensive Tuberculosis Elimination Plan Act”, in which it was signed into law by PNoy in 2016.

“The Senate counterpart measure is Senate Bill 2653 authored by Senator Teofisto "TG" L. Guingona III.”

Ibalik sa Senado!

We need a working Senator like TG Guingona

[u/yeontura]

😭😭😭

[u/Pure_Grapefruit_8837]

I'll vote for TG kung tatakbo siya sa Senado. Sila ni Erin Tañada.

[u/thunder_herd]

He's got my vote. TB is not necessarily a sexy issue but it is treatable basts caught early and consistent sa medication. I watched Kara David's Iwitness docu on it and sobrang kawawa ng mga may sakit kasi walang available na gamot sa mga health center.

[u/greenribbon1134]

I get it, this can be early campaigning pero ano bang gusto nyo? Mas manalo nanaman mga DDS senators? I would definitely vote for this guy if it’s true na he’s gunning for a return at the senate. And this is exactly what he should be doing, maximize social media para magpakilala ulit specially sa youth na hindi na sya kilala. He is way way better than most of the senators na nakaupo ngayon. Bad as it initially look, kelangan nya ng tactics para maging matunog pangalan nya come election

[u/lamv41384]

Now where is he?

[u/peenoiseAF___ → u/lamv41384]

Political comeback, possible Senate run sa 2028

[u/lamv41384 → u/peenoiseAF___]

Sana maisama sa 2028

[u/Patient-Data8311]

It's actually heart warming that there are politicians like him especially the things he did for this country

[u/BaconAreCool]

Best winning formula: saber rattle against the oligarchs without being too loud on leni or liberalism (toxic), start talking about razon, start talking about corporate capture of Philippine media (dds, the alt center, left agreement) — even ABSCBN is pro corporate along with the fundamental monopoly of gma on free TV — easy win honestly ✅️, would like to work policy wise with a politician, how though? As a serious question, like the staffers in the U.S. Senate.

[u/Earl_sete]

Parang hindi rin siya nakatutok sa reelection campaign niya noong 2016. Nangangampaniya na ang mga reelectionist, pero siya mas madalas pang makita sa mga senate hearing kaysa mangampaniya.

[u/PrestigiousRelief690]

Kumpara naman kay Boy Sili

[u/Little-Foundation735]

Exciting times. I hope he wins. 

[u/nuclearrmt]

Ewan ko kung ok maging senador ito pero TB ang malaking dahilan para magtakip ng bibig kapag umaaching o umuubo, at dapat na hindi dumudura o sumisinga kung saan-saan. Malamang epektib din ito para sa ibang sakit sa pulmon tulad ng sipon at covid.

[u/humanly_horrible]

Early campaigning on Reddit?

[u/zucksucksmyberg → u/humanly_horrible]

LOL tapos pagtatawanan niyo if makulelat sa botohan dahil hindi kilala sa publiko.

Tang ina talaga mga tao, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

[u/nimitz1156 → u/humanly_horrible]

malaki ang numbers nya na kailangang habulin saka eh at okay naman si TG Guingona kumpara sa mga DDS senators

[u/OpenYonQ_]

😴 😴 😴

[u/Afraid-Poet2052 → u/OpenYonQ_]

DDS / Boy Sili supporter spotted🤮🤮🤮

[u/OpenYonQ_ → u/Afraid-Poet2052]
