Sara Duterte: United Philippines coming 'very soon'

A united Philippines is coming very soon.

This was the remark of vice presidential candidate and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte as she and her running mate, Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., ended their 90-day campaign for Eleksyon 2022 on Saturday. 

"UniTeam, we have proven that a united Philippines is coming very very soon. Sama-samang nagkaisa, nakikipaglaban, bumabangon para sa inyong lahat," Duterte told supporters at their miting de avance in Parañaque City.

"Pinatunayan ninyo na panalo na ang UniTeam dahil sa hindi mapapantayang suporta ninyong lahat. Pinakita ninyo na panalo na ang UniTeam dahil sa nagkakaisa para sa ating pangulo, para sa ating mga UniTeam senators at para sa atin," she added.

While she was delivering her speech, the crowd chanted that she already won the vice presidential race. In response, she joked: "Kasi sinabi niyo panalo na ko, nagbarong ako akala ko oathtaking na eh."

The Davao City mayor said the love and support shown by their supporters was extraordinary.

"Ibang klase kayo, mula proclamation rally hanggang miting de avance, ipinakita ninyo na hindi pwedeng matinag ang inyong pagmamahal sa UniTeam," Duterte said.

"Mula Norte hanggang sa dulo ng Mindanao, ay ipinaramdam ninyo sa akin ang init ng inyong pagmamahal at pagtanggap sa akin. Ibang klase magmahal ang supporters ng UniTeam," she added.

Both Marcos and Duterte, who ran on a platform of national unity, have repeatedly topped surveys. —VBL, GMA News
