On the postponement of ARMM elections

"I stand here before you as a senator from Mindanao,

discussing an issue of Mindanao.....

I spoke to teachers, students, doctors, nurses,

government employees of ARMM, soldiers,

policemen and even Imams and leaders of

their religious faith and they all have told

me that they were very wary of the idea of

postponing the elections of ARMM in different

degrees of convictions, they were, however,

all unanimous in opposing the plan of

appointing the leaders of the region and

literally taking away the right to choose who

should lead them and eventually robbing them

of their right to decide their own fate."



"The best reform we can give the ARMM and

its people is to make sure that the sanctity

of the ballot is protected and every vote is

counted and that the voter’s list is cleansed so

that only the duly qualified voters may participate."


"Almost all the Muslim lawmakers are against

this move to postpone and appoint and they

consider this an undemocratic and unconstitutional.

Aren’t the Muslim lawmakers the

representative of their people in the legislature

then why are we not listening to them on this issue? "



On Security in Bilibid Prisons

"This is what I have been saying all along that

there are ongoing shenanigans inside our

prison facilities especially in Muntinlupa where

the rich and influential prisoners have access to

computer equipment, cellphones, internet

and even limited freedom which I am afraid

allow syndicate leaders to pursue their illegal

trade within the confines of the prison cells.

It is now high time to build a maximum prison

security compound outside Metro Manila

either at Fort Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija

or locate an island off Luzon similar to the Alcatraz."



On the appointment of new cabinet members

"As a guide, the President may refrain from

appointing individuals who have pending

cases in courts, particularly on graft and

corruption cases before the Sandiganbayan

and other Courts and should appoint only

individuals of proven competence, unsullied

integrity and unquestionable honesty."



On oil price hikes

"The President has the political will when it comes

to investigating the mighty oil companies.

We should not allow these oil giants to make

indecent windfall profits from the misery of our people."

For the sake of family, honor and country

Senator Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri today submitted his resignation before the Senate for the sake of his family, honor and country.

“As a legislator, who is being referred to in the Senate as Your Honor, I believe that my honor is something that should never be subject to taint. No amount of power, position or wealth is worth sacrificing one’s honor and integrity. Sa bandang huli, ang legasiya ng isang tao ay hindi nasusukat kung gaano kataas ang posisyon ang kanyang narating o ang dami ng kanyang yaman na naipon, kungdi ito ay nasusukat sa kanyang pagpapanatiling malinis at walang bahid-dungis ang kanyang sariling dignidad at integridad,” Zubiri said in a privilege speech witnessed by his family, friends, relatives, colleagues and supporters.
