If this a kind of senator that we have, ayaw ko ng maging pinoy nakakahiya ! 👍

Respect is earned, mr Senator. How can you deserve respect when you rather side with another country than your own, if you’re a true Filipino?

[fearlessforgiven]

Respect is not something you just ask, it is freely given... if you don't deserve it, there's no point in asking.

[ESTHERFerrancullo]

Dapat kasi nag brgy tanod ka muna, nangahas ka kc mag senator, tsk tsk tsk...what a shame...!!

[wrhytz]

No respect for a "badboy". Resignation is the only means to save your remaining dignity, if there is.

Robin, do not Question AMERICAN PRESENCE in Your Country.If there is A Factor that has to be IS YOUR PRESENCE IN THE SENATE !! YOU WILL NEVER EARN THE RESPECT OF THE ACADEME, THE CORPORATE WORLD AND OTHER SOCIAL INTELLECTUALS, YOU DO NOT DEMAND RESPECT AS MUCH AS YOU WILL NEVER EARN SUCH .

Senators in 60's & 70's are way different and better from the Senators these days. Senators then were more educated, intelligent, dedicated, patriotic, reputable and dignified.

Bakit ganito ang mga hinahalal ng taong bayan? Nasasayang tuloy ang panahon ng legislative branch.

Kakaupo pa lang malaki na agad ang ulo. Masyado pang balat sibuyas, Respect begets respect, kung bastos ka wag ka umasang irerespeto ka

Robin is the embodiment of the saying: little knowledge is dangerous when applied in large and complex situations.

[fillymarada]

wow! What a reaction! Remember that Respect is earned and not asked for and is given freely when it's due!

[Velman]

It was not implemented because it was not followed through because of the last administration. So, what if he was smiling. He has a right to. Do your research Robin. Not everything is black and white. This is the result of Lack of experience.

[MrSpringfellow]

No matter what you say to anybody it is how you say it. Discipline and respect must start within.

Respect goes both ways
You show ur respect
You get respected back

[kenethantiga]

You cannot buy respect unlike election vote...respect is earned through values, intelligence and hardwork.

[devolutioninc]

When you're demanding respect. It means you lost it.

[rodolfolucerojr]

How can he be respected if he isn't showing respect and proper decorum

[mr_pogi]

[edgardopugeda]
