Habang mas nagiging malinaw sa atin ang mga plano ng mga nasa kapangyarihan at nais na manatili rito, saan na nga ba tayo dadalhin ng ating hinahon (o kawalan nitong) sa hinaharap?
Dahil habang sumasaksi tayo sa mga madrama at maaksiyong palabas sa ating Senado, ang pagiging mabini (na taglay ang hinahon) ang magbibigay sa atin ng kakayahan na timbangin at kilatisin ang mga bagay-bagay. Hindi ka magiging padalos-dalos sa kilos mo. Kasama rin naman sa pagiging mabini ang pag-unawa kung bakit ganoon ang ikinikilos ng mga tao. Mauunawaan mo ang kanilang mga tunay na intensiyon at ang mga plano ng mga tao sinusunod nila.
Kapag naka-on ang mabini mode (with hinahon feature) mo, mahuhuli mo ang pagsisinungaling sa wika at ng senador (mula sa actor-turned-politician diehard, nepolitikos, mga may alegasyon ng korupsiyon, o all of the above) at sa sinumang paboritong kinaiinisang politiko
