Ma'am VP Leni Robredo, thank you for introducing three concepts new to Philippine politics when you brought them out as the leaders in your political platform during your presidential candidacy campaign: open governmentparticipatory democracy, and a job guarantee policy.

It may not yet be the time for the Filipino people to have them, but you will be remembered as the only presidential candidate in Philippine history (perhaps in contemporary world history) to have had the will to advocate them and become so popular with the people with your introduction of them.

May the next presidential candidate to advocate for them finally succeed after your pioneering effort. [S / -I]
