GORDON AT EDUCATION FORUM: Senator Richard J. Gordon (Ind.) answers a question from a member of the audience during the Talakayan 20.10 Leadership Forum on Education Reform held at the Asian Institute of Management Conference Center in Makati City. Gordon stressed that if the nation wants to improve the education system, everyone must be part of the process of change. “Poverty is an absence of choice. We need good education so that we can discern well. To lead us out of darkness—that is the purpose of education,” he said.
