Liberal Party (LP) senatorial candidate Jericho Petilla recently shared his plans and platforms before some members of the local entertainment press.

Petilla says if elected into office he will push for programs that will center on his three major advocacies – Education, Health and Energy. He noted that in a recent Pulse Asia Survey, Health and Education are among the top concerns of the ordinary Filipino. As Energy Secretary, he added that his knowledge on the energy industry will also be put to good use as he pushes for reforms that will protect the consumers.

Petilla admitted that while he has initiated positive reforms in the energy industry during his 2-year stint in office, he feels that these reforms should be made into law in order to make them more permanent. He is confident that he will be able to push for legislation that will make these reforms more permanent and bring more benefit to more consumers

During the presscon, Petilla also gamely answered questions about his family and personal life. He admitted that he likes to sing and watch movies with his family during his free time. He also admitted that he is a big fan of Anne Curtis not only because she is the namesake of his wife, but also because she is a versatile person. He likewise admitted that he admires Jericho Rosales not only because he is his namesake, but also because he is an excellent actor.

When asked what he can contribute to the entertainment industry, Petilla answered that he will push for the government to create more space for the local industry to blossom – a space where the industry can showcase its many talents and inspire more moviegoers to patronize its products. Petilla also added that he is in favor of giving support or subsidy for our local films to be able to compete in the international scene.
