== Principles and Ideals ==
In one of his privilege speeches Balindong said, “If"If some sector of society stands in the way of peace and progress, something must be done to make them toe the line. Being at odds with one another is not contributing to progress despite the claim of economic gains brought about by the appreciation of the Peso.”" He added that whatever it is that something must be given, it must be sincere so that there would be no need to go back every now and then to the negotiating table, thus, there will no longer have reason to fight each other again. “Unity"Unity must not be dictated. The unity needed must come from the Moro, and not dictated by somebody else but by the events of the day.”"<ref>{{Cite press release|url=https://www.congress.gov.ph/press/details.php?pressid=9309&key=balindong|title=Privilege Speech of Deputy Speaker Pangalian M.

Balindong believes in the power of elixir of eternal youth, and that is found in obedience to the principles of the Qur'an and love of service. When he decided to run for the Provincial Governor position, he looked at it not as a personal or political ambition, but an extension of his desire to continue serving the people and his beloved Philippines. To him, public service is not as a job or work; it is a way of life.
Line 91 ⟶ 89:
Balindong, having gone through the crucibles of life, both personal and professional, acknowledges that [[experience is the best teacher]] of life. With such principles, he deserves without a doubt to continue serving the people and will continue to serve in whatever capacity he can.
 
When the BBL failed to pass into law, Balindong lamented it because the next generation will inherit the vicious cycle of war and peace and all efforts, public hearings, and debates were all thrown into the wastebasket.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/focus/01/27/16/bbl-a-goner-proponent-says|title=BBL a goner, proponent says|lastfirst=NewsRG|firstlast=RG Cruz, ABS-CBN|website=ABS-CBN News|access-date=2019-03-22|date=January 27, 2016}}</ref>
