What democracy means: An Easter Sunday message of Sen. Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan

Democracy can only be as vibrant and strong as the most vulnerable are able to enjoy it. Are widows and orphaned mothers coping after the murders of their family's breadwinners? Are our young people free to reach their full potential? Are our farmers' incomes equal to their efforts? Are our fishers able to enjoy the bounty of our seas?

Today is Easter Sunday, symbol of the start of spring, of plenty, of hope. "Yes" to all these questions is our prayer and our work.
