Press Release - Opening statement of Sen. Grace Poe
Magandang umaga po sa inyong lahat! Madam Chairperson, I would like to personally thank you for scheduling a hearing on the topic of animal welfare. Alam nyo si Senator Cynthia, napakalawak ng kanyang binabantayan - ang sektor ng agrikultura, and as you know this is a very crucial concern for our country, so I thank her for the time that she has allotted, especially for animal welfare. There are two advocacies closest to my heart - the welfare of children and the welfare of animals - parehong hindi botante pero napakahalaga sa atin.
