#DecideAs1OnTNC #TheNewChannel | S3:E3 "From Fishing Nets to Senate Seat: The Extraordinary Journey of Ka Dodoy Ballon"
From the shores of Zamboanga Sibugay to the halls of the Senate? Meet Roberto "Ka Dodoy" Ballon, the grassroots environmental champion and 2021 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee now running for Senator in the 2025 Midterm Elections.
With only a high school diploma but decades of hands-on experience, Ka Dodoy transformed coastal communities by:
• Integrating former pirates into marine conservation efforts
• Expanding opportunities for thousands of small-scale fishers
• Defending Philippines' sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea
• Creating sustainable fisheries management models recognized internationally
His senatorial platform brings this wealth of experience to national policy:
✅ Sustainable Fisheries & Marine Ecosystem Protection
✅ Agrarian Reform & Rural Development
✅ Climate Action & Environmental Sustainability
✅ Inclusive Growth & Social Justice
✅ Good Governance & Citizen Participation
✅ National Unity & Sovereignty
Hear directly from the man who turned environmental conservation into economic empowerment for coastal communities across the nation.
Listen in to this conversation with a leader whose hands bear the calluses of fishing nets and whose mind shapes policies that could transform our nation's relationship with its natural resources.
Catch us this Tuesday, 15 April 7PM PHT only here on The New Channel.
