I want to wish my readers and the entire Filipino nation a happy and healthy Christmas! We deserve to celebrate a very merry holiday season after more than two years of lockdown resulting in muted celebrations of a feast, we are famous for. I also emphasize “healthy” because if there is one thing that this pandemic has shown us it is that we should take better care of our physical and mental health.

You can never tell the rush hour in the country this Christmas season anymore. Roads, especially in Metro Manila, are jam-packed with motorists all day long, while malls are filled to the brim.

I have always extolled the importance of entrepreneurship. For the most part, this unshakeable belief is anchored on my own experience as someone who built a business from the ground up, and to some extent, this is also due to my experience as a legislator for 21 years where I realized what it would take to win the war against poverty.
