Mike Velarde (right, in blue) whispering his message to Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada, as the latter attends Sister Belen’s (Bro. Mike’s wife) birthday celebration cum 50, 000-big prayer rally staged recently in Ammel Business Park, Brgy. San Dionisio, Parañaque City. Speaking in behalf of his father, Sen.
