Neri Colmenares: I won’t concede to rotten elections

Senatorial candidate Neri Colmenares on Tuesday night said that he would not concede to elections that he said "manipulated" Filipinos into voting for the "worst kinds of leaders."

Colmenares, who's at No. 24 with 4,581,688 votes, indicated that his fight continues despite being shut out of the Senate winning circle for the second time.

"I will never concede defeat to a rotten electoral exercise that has basically deceived, bribed, intimidated and manipulated our people into electing the worst kinds of leaders imaginable," Colmenares said.

"Tuloy ang laban!" he added.
