@Jon,

Looks like it’s going to be

1. Ding G.
2. Jennifer Llarena (JenJen)
3. Marck
4. Lester

And Noemi Dado (Butch’s wife)

According to Carlo (Senator’s New Media Consultant) around 10 to 12 others will be there for the intimate session..

Just imagine all the questions we could ask with those kind of numbers..

I’ll be posting later the questions that have been submitted to me, hopefully they will be answered..

@Lester, good to know that you are going.. I will set up an open post later with all the questions that have been submitted to me, if possible, since there is wifi over there, please list the answers in the comment portion of that post.

Note: I won’t be attending myself, I’m still out of the country..

Nick, I hope to see you later. This is a great opportunity for me to finally meet you and the other bloggers of Filipino Voices. And of course, it would be an honor to meet Sen Mar Roxas. Sakto rin dahil I’m only in Manila till next week. Hope to see you all there. Kahit yong mga “galit” sa mga politico, sama na rin kayo para lang magkita-kita tayo hehe.

Cheers,
Lester

Thanks for the invite Nick, i’ve sent my RSVP via email.

One question i would have liked to ask is, given that his family is among the Oligarchs of Philippine Society, how does he feel about the need to address the issue of inequality in the distribution of property and wealth? In other words, in his view, what role, if any, do the Oligarchs have in transforming the Philippines into a more equal society? If he can cite concrete proposals, then so much the better.

Nick,

As I’ve stated in my email, I won’t be able to attend. What I do want to be answered, though, is what his policy will be regarding population and the reproductive health law. I hope someone can relay that question as well.

Will be there, Nick. Among others it would be interesting to know how Mar feels about the recent Pulse Asia survey, including his own ‘numbers’, and Senator Villar’s.

Thank you Benigno, that’s a good question that I will have to relay..

I hope others will have a few more questions, I’ll try to bundle them up and send them directly to The Senator’s consultant who is organizing this meetup.
