November 21, 2025 Episode

Get ready for thought-provoking conversations that challenge your views and sharpen your opinions.

Join Atty. Edwin Lacierda and Lorelei Fajardo on #TheSpokes as they tackle both sides of today’s most pressing political and governance issues with guest co-host former mayor of Palayan, Nueva Ecija and presidential spokes during President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Lorelei Fajardo.

In this episode, she shares her reaction when she was invited to co-host The Spokes, her journey with Pag-IBIG since 2017, and why she chose to leave politics after serving as mayor from 2001 to 2004.

Joining us is former Davao del Norte governor and congressman, and now Secretary-General of Hugpong ng Pagbabago, Anthony del Rosario.

In this episode, Gov. Anthony walks us through his work on disaster risk management, climate adaptation, and key infrastructure projects. We also talk about Davao del Norte as the Banana Capital of the Philippines and how agricultural growth has improved the lives of Davaoeños.

He shares why he’s pushing for reforms in the procurement system—from competitive bidding and stronger safeguards to community-based monitoring—plus whether these changes require a new law or an executive order.

We also dive into government project implementation, the role of LGUs, capacity building, PPP accountability, funding big-ticket projects, and how to balance speed with integrity in public works.
