Like the famous question in Shakespeare's play, ''To be or Not to be?'', Kgd. Nickel reminisce the days when he was called to be a part of the LAKAS-CMD party mate. ''My options before I submitted my Certificate Of Candidacy for the just concluded elections ran through on its negative side for legislature seems to be an area/region unknown to me. Clouds of uncertainty were dark and immense before I finally found the encouragement. It was more of nobility than frill that pushed me forth to run for the position and eventually become a legislator. I took this challenge to continue one of our cherished legacies Dr. Jose Rizal has inculcated that the youth are the pillars of our nation.'' says, Kgd. Nickel.

Kgd. Nickel know for a fact that it is of paramount concern for a political leader to continuously build up advocacy programs on self-development particularly on the part of young political leaders, putting premium in each legislator's capacity to fuel the realization of development given the present implications of local government trends brought about by socio-economic and political variables in the locality. ''No matter high the walls maybe, there is always a way to cross over it.'', he finally says.
