The doctor as a policymaker: Dr. Minguita Padilla explains Senate run
"By running for the Senate, I’ll just be continuing what I have been doing for the last 30 years, except hopefully, I’ll have a bigger platform, a bigger venue and I’ll be able to do something officially. Hindi na ako yung advocate na nagmamakaawa sa senador, sa congressman na pakinggan kami," Padilla told ANC's Headstart on Tuesday.
She said she has been helping senators, district representatives, and the Department of Health for about three decades now, as a health advocate. While she was "not naïve" about her chances of winning in a national election, Padilla said she knew there is public clamor for change.
