Post Elections
I am sorry but I have no bet on any of the Senators, because when I look up every single of them they have flaws, I know we are not all perfect and all make mistakes but I think Dick Gordon is a good senator, I liked his facebook page and basically he is always on the move which is nice.
When he was mayor of Olongapo City, the infamous “sin city” in Zambales became a “model city” of peace and order, health care, education, livelihood, and good governance.
He gained prominence as chairman of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority under President Fidel Ramos, and started the conversion of the former US naval base into a freeport. As the tourism secretary of the administration of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Gordon's “Wow Philippines” campaign gave a much-needed boost to the Philippine tourism industry.
He was elected senator in 2004. In 2010, Gordon ran for president but lost. He made a failed comeback bid to the Senate in 2013.
As part of Rappler #PHvote's "The Leader I Want" series, we look at Gordon's stand on key issues that the next batch of senators will have to address.
Corruption
If elected, Gordon will support a law that provides government funds to political parties so that Filipino politicians will not be reliant on business interests or even money from illegal drugs and gambling.
Politics
Gordon said he will push for a two-party system that penalizes turncoatism, and encourages election debates and symposia to discuss issues.
Education
In an interview with News To Go, Gordon said it is important to improve the quality of living of teachers so they would not be forced to leave the country.
"Recognizing our teachers and students is important. The salary of a teacher in Singapore is P33,000. In Korea, it's P100,000. Here, it's P18,500. You need outstanding teachers to come back to the country; to come back to our teaching. When you have outstanding teachers, then you have outsanding students," he said in a mix of English and Filipino.

and many more he has goals which he really do.
