Let’s move forward together-FMJ
By Nidz Godinoa
“Filipinos elected leaders who will listen and act on inflation, on jobs, on corruption and on everyday burdens they carry… issues we must face head-on,” President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said in Facebook post with administration candidates unable to sweep elections, he expressed his gratitude to all who took part in Monday’s midterm polls, and urged newly elected officials to “move forward together” to address challenges facing the nation.
Marcos reminded Filipinos elections are both “ celebration of continuity” and “ call to act on real challenges our people face.”
Marcos stressed that governance is shared responsibility and mission that requires unity and burden sharing for common good.
“To the newly elected, regardless of party or coalition, I extend my hand…let us move forward together with open minds and common purpose,” he said.
The President also shared quote from his late father, former president Ferdinand Marcos Sr.: “If we are to prevail, we must prevail as Filipinos for it is the only way to endure. If we are to attain our goals, we must march forward, not to the past but to the future. And we must do this as one family, nation united.”
At the same time, Marcos thanked those who voted for senatorial candidates of the administration ticket Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas.
Based on partial and unofficial election results, Alyansa candidates who entered so-called Magic 12 were former social welfare secretary Erwin Tulfo, former senator Panfilo Lacson, former Senate president Vicente Sotto III, Sen. Pia Cayetano, Las Piñas Rep. Camille Villar and Sen. Lito Lapid.
Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr., Makati Mayor Abby Binay, former interior and local government secretary Benhur Abalos, and former senator Manny Pacquiao were in 14th, 15th, 16th and 18th spots, respectively.
For his message to candidates who were not so fortunate, Marcos said their courage to stand for public service is deeply respected.
He also noted Philippine democracy has once again renewed itself peacefully, orderly and with dignity.
“May God bless our leaders, our people and our beloved Philippines,” the President said.
Despite five of their party’s senatorial candidates entering Magic 12, Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio was clearly expecting different scenario.
“I acknowledge results of election and express my deep gratitude to all supporters who stood with us throughout this journey, while outcome was not what we had hoped for, our commitment to the people remains unwavering,” Duterte said.
Based on the partial and unofficial results, five candidates of “DuterTen” slate, including late inclusions Villar and Sen. Imee Marcos, made it to the Top 12 candidates. Despite being adopted by Duterte-led Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban), Villar has not been officially dropped by Alyansa.
Only three were from original PDP-Laban ten-member slate: reelectionist Senators Bong Go and Ronald dela Rosa, currently at first and third place, respectively; and Sagip party-list Rep. Rodante Marcoleta.
While Duterte’s tone signaled disappointment, political observers noted that the Vice President has reasons to be satisfied as several term-holdover allies are still in Senate.
Five new seats are especially critical as chamber is expected to deliberate on impeachment complaint against her later this year.
Though full slate didn’t make it, Duterte used the moment to call for formation of “powerful and principled opposition.”
“We will continue to hold government accountable, advocate for issues that matter, and work tirelessly to serve as strong and constructive opposition,” she said.
Duterte’s message underscored her intent to leverage outcome not as defeat, but as foothold.
“This is not the end it’s renewed beginning…we invite all citizens regardless of background or past affiliation to join us in building powerful and principled opposition,” Together, we can shape a future that is fair, inclusive, and just. ..stand with us she added.
ISKUP!
