"Ang dugo ay hindi pwedeng i-manufacture ng tao. Tanging mga donasyon ng dugo ang maaari lamang pagkuhanan ng dugo ng mga nangangailangan nito. Kung kaya't nagpapasalamat ako sa mga donors at partners natin kagaya ng PCSO sa ilang taon nilang pakikipagtulungan sa Philippine Red Cross sa pagsasagawa ng ganitong blood donation activity. Ang dugo na makukuha natin mula sa activity na ito ay para sa lahat ng Pilipino (Blood cannot be manufactured by humans. Only blood donations can be obtained from those who need it. That's why, I thank our donors and partners such as PCSO for their several years of collaboration with the Philippines Red Cross for this blood donation activity. The blood we will get from this activity is for all Filipinos),"

“My clients have been made to look guilty without the benefit of a court case, much less a trial. Gordon, in seeking to promote himself at the expense of my clients, exhibited conduct that is unbecoming of a lawyer and a senator. If only for this, he should be repudiated by the electorate,”

For 25 years, since the time of Senator [Richard] Gordon, ang sinasabi niya gagawin niyang crew ship destination ang Subic, hindi 'yan nangyari ever. Ako lang nakagawa n'yan pero wala na rin sila kasi walang crew ship industry (he said he would make Subic a crew ship destination, but it never happened. It was only me who made that possible, but they're gone because the crew ship industry was affected by the pandemic),"
