Moreno camp spox Banayo: Ang labanan dito ay mensahe. Ang importante ay lumalaban sya at ang kanyang mga kasama na may solusyon sila sa mga problema ng taumbayan. Yung ginawa nya sa Maynila ay kayang ireplicate towards the entire nation.

Lacson camp spox Acedillo: It was never the intention of Sens. Lacson and Sotto to keep the nation in suspense. They've been very clear that sila ang merong may kakayahan, karanasan, at katapatan. They offer the best alternative for the people moving forward.
