Holy Week tradition and other personal views of "Mr. Healthcare," Sen. JV Ejercito

He even added that he and his family, they do not go on vacation during Holy Week. He shared, "Ang Holy Week, once a year lang naman 'yan, it's the only time we can really reflect, buong taon you can do whatever you want. Para sa'kin very important ang Holy Week, it's not the time for me to enjoy, it's the time to reflect, kasi once a year 'yan eh, buomg taon pwede kang mag-enjoy, pwede kang mag-beach, pwede kang magbakasyon anytime of the year. Holy Week is the time to reflect." 

Having heard and learned this personal view of Sen. JV, and coming from himself, I am definitely "for" him, I truly agree what he really said, most especially, we are in a Christian country and I can also relate to what he had shared. Me and my family share the same view and thoughts as well. I just realized that, there's no right excuse for anyone even if you have the highest position or any job you are in not to do reflection, just like Sen. JV, who still looks back and never fails to practice what they have been doing as a family tradition during this once a year occasion, which is the "Holy Week." 

On a lighter note, when asked if who does he want to play as himself when his life story would be transated into a movie, he replied jokingly, "Pwede bang ako na lang ang lumabas, maghahanap ako ng gusto kong kapareha hahaha, joke lang!" Now we get to see his comedic side. Because we all know and aware that he is really a shy-type of person who has a "Million Dollar Smile" (according to her mom, San Juan City Mayor Guia Gomez). 

When asked who does he look-up to for a public servant? He had recalled answering during a debate, when asked if who would he wanted to bring back (from the past) to be our President again, he said, "Si Andres Bonifacio, s'ya 'yung best president we ever had, s'ya 'yung 'Ama ng Katipunan,' sa tingin ko s'ya 'yung dapat na pangulo, maka-Bonifacio rin kasi ako eh. So 'yun ang aking idol, kung wala ang Katipunan, kung wala si Bonifacio, wala tayong kalayaan." Very well said, Sen. JV. 

Having been passed the Universal Health Care (UHC) bill, Sen. JV was so delighted that finally, everyone can now afford medical consultations, hospitalizations and several basic laboratory tests. Accordingly, he made this very important statement regarding the passing of his UHC Bill.
