“Maraming salamat sa lahat ng ating mga kababayan sa inyong patuloy na pagtitiwala. Maliwanag sa survey na ang nais ng ating kapwa Pilipino ay ang pamumunong matatag, maagap, at higit sa lahat, tapat sa layunin ng pagkakaisa sa ating bansa,” Duterte-Carpio said in a statement.
(Thank you for your continued support and trust. It is clear from the survey that our fellow Filipinos want strong leadership and leaders who are true to their goal of uniting the country.)
“Ito ang diwa ng Uniteam at kami ni Apo Bongbong Marcos ay patuloy na magsisikap hanggang maabot natin ang ating pangarap ng mapayapa at masaganang buhay sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino,” she added.
(This is the spirit of the UniTeam and Bongbong Marcos and I will continue to strive for our goals of a peaceful and improved life for every Filipino family.)
Duterte-Carpio topped the survey for vice president with a 50 percent voter preference, followed by Senate President Vicente Sotto III (29 percent), Senator Francis Pangilinan (11 percent), physician Willie Ong (5 percent), and House Deputy Speaker Lito Atienza (1 percent).
