Pichay is one of the running candidates under team unity. I have nothing against team unity but I want to share some facts i know about Prospero Pichay.
Pichay had been the congressman of Surigao. And the district where he was the congressman is one of the poorest districts in the Philippines. My friend told me that the house of Pichay has even a helicopter pad on the roof, and of course, he has an own helicopter too. What can you say about that huh?

I heard a lot of negative feedbacks about him and the way he lead Surigao. I know one person from the province and she told me that Pichay is not really a good leader. Maybe we should advise him to just donate his campaign funds to the people of surigao than spending it to promote political vegetation in the Philippines

He shouldnt be planted on the senate but on the road of surigao instead because it's kinda abundant of clay and water lol the road totally sucks. wana plant rice? do it on the roads of surigao youll have a bountiful harvest trust me ... lol Pichay.. you are very pathetic. how can you help the people of the philippines if you cant even help the people of surigao.

Personally, I wont vote for him, there are other candidiates where I can give my vote and I plan to give to someone that deserves it.
We should vote for the one that desereves our vote and we should be careful because we give them the right to help our Filipino people and that we should be sentsitive and be resourdful enough to find the people to vote for.
If these candidates give money, well accept the money and never vote for them, its a proof that they will surely get the money hey spent during the elections.

I learned that Pichay owns lots and lots of airplanes. It's just so hard to trust him knowing that he's so rich and yet he is the congressman of one of the poorest districts in the Philippines. If ever I was of age, I wouldn't vote. Not even if you force me to.

Well since i'm from abroad i'm not aware of what's going on back there. But since I left the Phils., I haven't even heard of that guy and now he's running for senate right? And I watched on the TFC news the other day and I think he's leading on the most spenders on the current elections. Boy is he going to get back all those money he spent during the campaign it's really creepy.

I don;t know anything about him. But I think you should judge him for having a helicopter and being damn rich. If hes political work is very good you should vote for him. ALthough may rich politicians may have only one thing in their minds, which is cheating the law in order to get money for themselves.

Definitely I will not vote for Pichay. I have heard many things against him even before. And now he aims for the Senate. Accordingly, malakas kumapit and so they are the group that should not be given chance to suck the country.

I am still thinking about my senatorial line up. But as for Pichay there's a small chance that I'll be voting for him. I haven't done any research about his capabilities to make a law. After all that's what he is aiming for a job, senator. A senator makes a law. I'll try to get to you after the election and I will personally and honestly tell you my senatorial list.

I think I will not vote for him too. I rather vote for Richard Gomez or cesar Montano than voting for Chavit or Pichay. I don't like gamblers as well as corrupt officials. I go for Manny Villar and Noynoy Aquino atleast I know they are both good officials and not corrupt one.

Well,if he got those riches by means of hardwork and thru legal means, then there is nothing wrong with that. You could not expect a congressman to give all his wealth to his people and be poor himself. Just like Manny Pakyaw he got millions there is nothing wrong with that.
But if you can prove that Pichay got rich because of corruption or any illegal activity, then that is the news definitely and could be the basis of us not voting him. Manny villar is the richest senator but there is nothing wrong with that because he got rich by sipag and tiyaga.
