Granted that the PCOS machines work and the votes are counted honestly, it will be a historic and a happy exercise that we will go through as a nation when we…
Scenes from Friday’s big miting d’ avance! Now we pray, vote, guard the vote, and pray some more! The taumbayan yearning for change gather in droves… change starts now!
Nandito na po tayo sa huling yugto ng ating kampanya. Napakalaki na ng lamang natin. Patunay ito na ang taumbayan ang aking tunay na lakas. Ang makatotohanang mensahe ang mangingibabaw.
Ang taong pinangakuan ngunit kinalimutan ay gising na, at handa nang humusga sa mga lumimot sa kanila.

Dear Senator Aquino:
Greetings!
We, the undersigned members of the Indigenous Peoples/ Indigenous Cultural Communities coming from different sectors of our society, strongly believe in your platform of government (Transformational Leadership, Economy, Government Service, Gender Equality, Peace and Order and Environment).
We shall forever remember your mother, the late President Corazon C. Aquino, and her heart for IPs/ ICCs, as shown in her efforts towards the signing of the Cordillera Peace Pact, and the negotiations that bolstered the Mindanao Peace Process. These led to the creation of the Cordillera Administrative Region and the full implementation of the Tripoli Agreement of 1976. Guided by her example, we believe you are the best vanguard to promote and protect our rights as IPs/ ICCs.
We are confident that your leadership will formulate and implement national policies, with our cultural integrity and best interests at heart. We are one with you in your fight against corruption and restoring public confidence in government offices and institutions. We believe that your example of honest and transparent governance will propel the Philippines to economic development and lift us out of our poverty and strife.
Finally, we are assured the promise of effective government programs for free and inclusive education, access to quality job opportunities and universal health care will soon become reality for IPs and ICCs all over the country.
Mabuhay ang susunod na Presidente ng Pilipinas, Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III!
