Tuloy ang laban. Tuloy ang pagsisilbi natin sa bayan at mga PWD at seniors. Tulungan nyo ako, Keep the faith. I love you all!” Guanzon said on her FB Page.</p><p>In a subsequent post, Guanzon said, “Sa pagbubukas ng session, we will adopt VP Leni&#x27;s pending bill sa Congress!”</p><p>Then on May 12, she posted her picture with the caption, “Back to work!
