MANILA, Philippines — The fight is not yet over.

Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo”  said this Tuesday as the Duterte-backed candidates dominated the partial and unofficial tally of votes in the May 13 senatorial race.

“Pagod man tayong lahat sa kampanya at sa mahabang araw kahapon, sulit ang lahat dahil pinanindigan natin ang ating mga prinsipyo at paniniwala. May laban pa tayong hinaharap,” Robredo said in a statement,

The opposition stalwart said Filipinos must continue to be vigilant and guard the counting of votes.

“Hindi pa tapos ang bilangan, at kailangan pang bantayan. Ipinamalas ng ating mga kandidato at volunteers ang tapang at dedikasyon sa ating adhikain. Huwag natin ito bitawan. Paghugutan natin ng lakas ang bawat isa,” he said.

He called on Filipinos to unite and continue the good fight.

“Marami pa tayong kailangan gawin at marami pa tayong magagawa. Hanggang sa huli, sama-sama tayo sa labang ito,” she said.
