PRESIDENTIAL aspirant Ka Leody De Guzman urged his fellow candidates to raise the level of discourse and talk about crucial issues.

De Guzman on Wednesday said that voters should not be treated as fanatics and should be educated with the current situation of the country.

“Pag-usapan natin ang mababang suweldo, kawalan ng regular na trabaho’t hanapbuhay, pagpopondo sa serbisyong panlipunan, sobrang pagpapayaman ng iilan sa gitna ng sobrang kahirapan ng nakararami,” he said on social media.

“Ang ating pag-ahon mula sa krisis ay nakasalalay sa pag-unawa ng masa sa kanilang kalagayan at sa mga kinakailangan na hakbang para lutasin ang kanilang pang araw-araw na mga suliranin,” he added.

The labor leader said that “elitist” candidates only exploit voters and forget about them after getting elected.

De Guzman is running under the Laban ng Masa party.
