Roque tells Duterte: Mayor, kung nanonood ka, sana po kasama ka namin ngayon. Pero ang pangako namin, ipagpapatuloy namin ang pagbabago sa lipunan ng Pilipinas. Hindi namin kayo bibiguin.

She also shares her platforms and priority measures should she win a seat at the upper chamber.
It’s senatorial aspirant Jinggoy Estrada’s turn to take the stage: Naniniwala ako na kailangan nating sama-samang bumangon para sa ikakaunlad ng bansa.
Jinggoy Estrada: Hindi po ako anghel. Malayo ako sa pagiging perpekto. Pero ang kalidad ng aking trabaho, ay garantisadong sigurado, ramdam ng ating kababayang Pilipino.
Gonzaga introduces the next senatorial hopeful present in the event: Rep. Rodante Marcoleta.

It’s now Marcos’ turn to take the stage.
The presidential candidate also underscores the importance of unity amid the COVID-19 pandemic: Ang pagkakaisa ang unang hakbang para tayo ay makaraos na dito sa krisis, sa pandemya at ekonomiya.
Marcos: Napakagandang halimbawa ang tambalan ng Marcos-Duterte.
Kung ang isang taga-Norte at ang isang taga-Mindanao na magkabilang-dako ay kayang magsama at magkaisa, sa aking palagay naman, kaya nating ipagkaisa ang buong Pilipinas.
Marcos: Ang hanap lang natin ay disenteng buhay para sa ating bansa. Sa pagi-ikot namin, nakita namin na mainit ang pagtanggap ng taumbayan sa mensahe ng pagkakaisa. Kailangan nating ibalik ang ugaling pagmamahal, bayanihan.
Marcos: Ang layunin ko, ang pangarap ko sa Pilipinas ay layunin at pangarap din ng mamayang Pilipino.
LOOK: Marcos and Duterte — joined by family and the rest of the Uniteam — take the stage one last time. The tandem addresses supporters, waving PH flags as the proclamation rally comes to an end.
