In an interview on &quot;Ikaw na Ba: The DZMM Vice Presidential Interviews,&quot; Honasan said: &quot;&#x27;Yung mga problema natin talaga, pondo ang kailangan. Food, clothing, shelter, health services, edukasyon, ano. Pero &#x27;yung mga unang hakbang para magkaisa na tayo at magmove forward ay pulitika. &quot;Sa loob ko, at mawalang galang doon sa nagtanong, ang tagal namang na-burol niyan, presidente pa ng Pilipinas. Kung ako, procedurally, tatanungin ko &#x27;yung administrator ng Libingan ng mga Bayani, ano ang qualification para ma-ilibing, ano ang disqualification. Itatanong ko, si President Marcos ba ay qualified? &#x27;Pag qualified, e &#x27;di desisyunan natin.&quot; Honasan also shared his views on issues such as same-sex marriage, divorce, and the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill.For the senator, the country is not yet ready for same-sex marriage.&quot;Di pa panahon. Kahit na sabihin nating constitutional principle, life, liberty, property, pursuit of happiness. Wala naman talagang masama sa nagsasama, same sex, nagpapalaki ng ampon na anak, napapakain, napapag-aral. Pero &#x27;yung moral standards natin, baka hindi pa tayo handa. Baka umani tayo ng batikos dahil legalizing, that involves the law,&quot; Honasan said.He also expressed his disapproval of a possible divorce law, adding that marriage is a big decision that should be well thought of.&quot;Sagrado ang pamilya. Pag-isipan mong mabuti,&quot; Honasan said.On the issue of political dynasties, Honasan believes that political dynasties should stay in power, provided that their constituents benefit from their administration.&quot;As a matter of principle, against dynasties ako. Pero tingnan natin ang bawat dynasty kung nakatulong ba ito sa mamamayan o hindi. Okay, so huwag tayong padalos-dalos dito, kasi may mga lugar na talagang pinakinabangan,&quot; he said.Honasan, likewise, expressed his approval of higher Social Security Service (SSS) pension, lower income tax, federalism, charter change, the Salary Standardization Law, and the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL).&quot;Ang ibig sabihin ng Bangsamoro Basic Law, subject to amendments, debates, etc ay peace. Hindi lang &#x27;yun tigil-putukan, kundi development. Wala namang pinipili ang armadong tunggalian, kung Muslim ka, Kristiyano ka o Lumad. So BBL equated to peace, approved,&quot; he said.
