Bangon Pilipinas Party presidential candidate Eduardo Villanueva signed a covenant vowing to pursue the establishment of a federal form of government in Mindanao and guarantee economic justice and pursuit of the peace talks. The signing was witnessed by Moro Islamic Liberation Front spokesman Eid Kabalu.

“In the long term, Bangon Pilpinas commits to call for a Constitutional Convention to submit, propose and support the adoption of the federal form of government as a final and permanent solution to the pursuit of peace and progress in Mindanao,” the covenant said.

Bangon Pilipinas presidential candidate Eduardo “Eddie” Villanueva vowed to work for the establishment of a tertiary hospital in every province if elected.

“The public health sector is already in the ICU (intensive care unit) and must be given a shot to come alive. My personal vision is to establish a tertiary public hospital in every province in the country to bring the best health care to those who need it the most,” Villanueva said.

“Health is one of the top agenda of the Bangon Pilipinas Party. We will prioritize increasing the budget for the public health sector by following the ideal budget allocation set by the World Health Organization (WHO) to the equivalent of six percent of the country’s gross domestic product,” Villanueva explained.

A tertiary hospital is defined as a large major hospital that offers a full complement of services, including pediatrics, general medicine, and the different branches of surgery.

Villanueva presented his running mate and former securities chairman Perfecto Yasay Jr. and the seven senatorial candidates of his Bangon Pilipinas party before members of the Jesus is Lord (JIL) Church-Hong Kong chapter last February 20.

“No one among these people has a record of corruption. It is because I will not allow that anyone, who has abused power or stolen from public funds would join me in Bangon Pilipinas,” a party statement quoted Villanueva as telling the JIL “Saturday group” congregation.
