Sandro Marcos claims, 'Nanalo na tayo'

As former senator and presidential candidate Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. continues to lead in the partial, unofficial count his eldest son, Sandro Marcos, has claimed victory early Tuesday morning.

Speaking before supporters at the campaign headquarters of Marcos and his running mate Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte in Mandaluyong City, Sandro thanked the supporters of his father.

"Nandito po kayo na nagpapakita sa suporta sa Uniteam, ang inyong suporta sa minamahal nating Pilipinas. Ako po ay nagpapasalamat sa inyong suporta in behalf of BBM (Bongbong Marcos),"said Sandro.

He also claimed victory, referring to the wide margin of votes gained by his father over closest rival Vice President Leni Robredo based on the result of the partial, unofficial count.

"Pero ako, mga kababayan, ang sasabihin ko sa inyo. Unang-una na dapat, dapat talaga na mag celebrate tayo dahil pwede ko nang sabihin nanalo na tayo!," he said.

"Nanalo tayo sa laban, pero ang tunay na laban ay nagsimula pa lang. Kaya ang hinihingi ko po sa inyong lahat dito na ang ipinapakita ninyo ang napakalaki na suporta at napakainit na salubong hindi lang para sa atin kundi para sa tambalang Marcos-Duterte na ngayon na magsisimula ngayong July 1 and administrasyon ni Apo BBM," he added.

He also called for unity of "different colors," referring to political parties. -- BAP, GMA News
