VOTE FOR JOSE MIGUEL ZUBIRI FOR SENATOR!


This blog enjoins Filipino voters to consider REPRESENTATIVE JOSE MIGUEL ZUBIRI for Senator this coming 14 May 2007 elections. Why am I openly supporting him? Rep. Zubiri led the passage of Republic Act No. 9367 otherwise known as the 2007 Biofuels Act (An Act to Direct the Use of Biofuels, Establishing for this Purpose the Biofuel Program, Appropriating Funds Therefor, and for Other Purposes) which would help pave the way for the use of biofuels in the transport sector of the country. So what? The Biofuels Act, if properly and seriously implemented, would reduce the dependency of the country on oil which depletes the country's dollar reserves. Less dependency on oil will mean less Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Hopefully, less GHG emissions in the Philippines will lessen the risk of global warming. That's the sole reason why I want to see him get a seat in the Senate.
