Marami yata dito have the mistaken notion na dahil may nagagawa physically or has executive abilities ay puwede na sa legislative work. Legislative work is pushing for bills to become laws. Maybe, Gordon may have improved Subic before and that is executive work. In his last term sa senado, what bills has he pushed that was enacted into law? Madali magsabi na meron "nagawa" but "nagawa" is puro physical work and that is executive ability. Then, he should run for President. Pero ang pagpapasa or pagsulong ng isang bill para maging batas is different and legislative work is intellectual masturbation plus the ability to convince your fellow legislators to adopt your bill. You have to have the talent to humor, cajole, convince or trade with fellow legislators to get your ideas across. That is an entirely different ballgame. Very few people have that talent to be able to get people to work physically and still have the charisma to get their ideas across and convince people to adopt their bills. Senyor Simyon does not have the intellectual capacity to think of bills but he MIGHT have the ability to execute programs or plans. Ms. Miriam may have the intellectual prowess to think of laws but he can never have the executive ability of a mayor or a governor. With his temper and lack of charisma, Mr. Gordon can never be a good legislator.
FYI.

WWII Veterans CompensationOn April 9, 2008, Araw ng Kagitingan or Day of Valor in Bataan, President Arroyo signed into law Republic Act No. 9499- Gordon's Veterans Bill.[18] The Filipino World War II Veterans Pensions and Benefits Act of 2008 amends Sections 10 and 11 of Republic Act No. 6948, as amended, by removing the prohibition against our veterans receiving benefits from the United States government. Before the law was signed, the Philippine government benefits of veterans would be revoked once they were granted benefits by the United States government. Because of Gordon’s advocacy and persistence, this prohibition is now eliminated, and Filipino veterans will now be able to receive any form of benefit from any foreign government without losing the benefits given to them by the Philippine government.
