This was Marcos' first out of town public appearance after he was proclaimed as the 17th president of the Philippines. He thanked the local government for inviting him in this event.

"Ako'y magpapasalamat sa inyong lahat, sa inyong tiga-Bacoor, sa lahat ng Caviteño at alam ko marami sa inyo ang tumulong sa amin dito sa nakaraang halalan. Lagi ko pong sinasabi, itong tagumpay ng tambalang Marcos at saka Duterte at lahat ng UniTeam ay hindi lang tagumpay ng mga kandidato, ito ay tagumpay ninyo rin dahil hindi po namin nagawa ito, at lalong-lalo na hindi po nangyari 'yung kalaki-laki na boto na nakuha namin, na 31 million para sa akin, 32 million para kay Inday Sara, kung hindi sa tulong ninyo, kung hindi sa inyong pagmamahal, kung hindi sa inyong suporta," Marcos said in his message to the crowd.

(I thank all of you, the people of Bacoor, all the Caviteños, I know many of you helped us win the elections. I always say that the victory of Marcos-Duterte tandem and the UniTeam is not only that of the candidates but of the supporters because we will not be able to do it with you especially the big number of votes we received, 31 million for me and 32 million for Inday Sara, without your help, without your love, without your support.)

Marcos won in Cavite, a vote-rich province, with more than one million votes.

He vowed that in return for this overwhelming support, his administration would exert all effort to give Filipinos a decent living. He is confident that with everyone's cooperation, the Philippines would recover.

"Inaasahan po ninyo na 'yung isinukli ninyo sa amin na boto, na suporta, pagmamahal, ay hindi po namin bibiguin dahil lahat po ng aming gagawin ay para po pagandahin ulit ang buhay ng Pilipino," Marcos said.

(Expect that we will not fail the vote, support, love that you have given us because we will do everything to uplift the lives of the Filipino people.)

The incoming president also urged the public to continue the call for unity, the centerpiece of his campaign in the recent national elections.—AOL, GMA News
