I considered Alan Cayetano to be my VP first because of his courage, sincerity and drive to help the
Filipinos. He may not be as popular and as supported as BBM but I think that through his platforms
and plans for the Philippines he is the best chance weve got to fight crime and corruption as well as
move towards the development of the country. Also, whoever would win and become president of the
Philippines would not have trouble working with him. I believe that he would not be stepped on
whoever wins to become president. Instead, I can envision him meeting the president eye-to-eye and
discuss his plans for the Philippines. Given the cons mentioned above, I believe that he and his wife
were just wrongly accused and the things he can do as a VP definitely outweigh his weaknesses and
controversies.
The only fear I have is that he might be too focused in fighting corruption that he might not be able to
focus on other problems concerning the
country. However, given his credentials
and platforms I believe ALAN CAYETANO is
the best chance the Philippines has to

providing protection against the financial risk of high out-of-pocket
health spending is one of the main goals of the Philippines' health
strategy.
the main driver of health spending is medicines, accounting for almost
two-thirds of total health spending, and as much as three-quarters
among the poor.
to enhance financial risk protection - such as the expansion of
government-subsidized health insurance for the poor, a deepening of
the benefit package, and provider payment reform aimed at costcontainment
an in-depth analysis of the pharmaceutical sector would help to shed
light on why medicines continue to place such a large financial burden
on households.
