Sen. Francis “Chiz”
Escudero managed to schedule a press conference with the local media and the
Davao Bloggers group while in Davao City to attend a wedding last June. Yes,
his main purpose of coming to the City was to be one of the wedding sponsors but
despite his busy schedule, he still took his precious to meet all of us.
I really took this
rare chance to meet the good Senator in person because I know for the fact that
this seldom happens to an ordinary blogger like me. Meeting him in person is
such an amazing experience that I can even consider it as one of the highlights
of my blogging career so far. I can say
that the meeting with the Senator did not changed but even confirmed my
impression about him.
That he is…
- smart and intelligent
- charming and oozing with sex appeal ;)
- humorous and fun to be with
- man of dignity and honor
- a good father to his twins
- a people - person
- a good person
- an ordinary Filipino with an extraordinary dream for his country
I can go on and on
with the list but truly, this man is very admirable and respectable. He spoke
with passion about the things he loves doing when he is not busy with work like
spending quality time with his kids, cooking his favorite dishes like adobo,
tinola and paella, and restoring old cars that he can find online.

| Charming us all :) |
 |
| Seriously listening to the questions... |
When asked about
his music preference, he played one of his favorite songs from his phone; in
the middle of the press conference and was taken away as if he was a school boy.
Of course, the bloggers teased him :). If I’m not mistaken, the title of
the song is… Is it okay if I call you mine by Paul McCrane? At least he acts
his age, right? Hehehe Peace Senator Chiz!
On a more serious
note, Senator Escudero shared about the reason behind his vote on the impeachment
trial of Chief Justice Corona, that he came up with the decision only a few
days before May 29, 2012. His plan for 2013 election is not to run for the
higher office but a re-election on his current post as Senator. He believes that
to improve the country’s economy, the government should focus on developing the
Agriculture sector. He also shared his take on divorce and annulment and talked
about how expensive it is to file an annulment here in the Philippines.
After the press
conference, we were advised by his staff stay for lunch as the Senator needed to
leave shortly for another meeting. In
general, the press conference for the Davao Bloggers went smoothly as our group
was separated from the crowd of hardcore media people. I salute the organizers
for that!
To sum it all, it
was such an enriching experience to have met the Senator of the Republic of the
Philippines up close and personal.
I
hope you won’t find this post time-consuming, my dear readers. I couldn’t even
believe myself that I have written this lengthy post. It’s just that whenever I
recalled that day, I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with the experience of
meeting the charismatic and handsome Senator.

Idol talaga sya ng karamihan Marie. Why not try to suggest that in his fan page or twitter? hahaha
Hehehe... It's the right thing to do. At least you voted for the right person to be in the Senate.
Thanks for dropping by...
Indeed Mommy! Thanks for being here :)
I find him so adorable and I like the way he talk.
sis..i think it's not lengthy enough considering that it was senator chiz.it's like i'd like to read more article about him because he is a celebrity, diba?.. congrtas sis!
I am not familiar with him but I often heard he has good reputation but to think that he is still a politician in the Philippines.
wow! i didn't know that he's a blogger too. you are so lucky to meet him in person.
awww! what a humble man he is Momi Rovie :-) sounds like a remarkable senator too :-) you are lucky indeed to meet such a man like Senator Chiz :-)
I heard so much of him as a senator and also saw hist stint at Kris TV. I think he is a good person and I just hope he is a different type of politician, not like the traditional ones.
I like him kay he so funny...mao ra na ako giganahan sa iyaha :-)
Sir Chiz is very charming. He has this certain appeal with the mass that only him has..Too bad we were not able to have a chance to speak with him when he was here in CDO as he had to attend to a very urgent meeting in Davao...soon, we will have a chance to interview him too! Thanks for sharing! :)
I have always liked him even before he became a senator.
He has the cutest smile and I think you forgot to mention that he's single now?hehehe.. here for WW, Rovs! Hope you could visit my entry http://rayainthailand.com/2012/07/21/eurasia-hotel-chiangmai/
