As this campaign season comes to a close, I thank all of you who have been with us every day and every night at every barangay, sitio, and purok, from the streets to the mountains.
Thank you for believing in our cause, and for helping us spread our message of unity, hope, and continuity.
I thank my family and friends for their unwavering support. I thank God for his guidance and grace.
I started this campaign telling myself that I would give it my all. I end it having received from people from all walks of life so much more in return.
Gikan sa kina-ilagman sa akong kasing-kasing, daghan kaayong salamat kaninyong tanan. Dili ko gyud kini hikalimtan.
