Sara Duterte tells supporters: ‘Pag binato ka ng cancel, batuhin mo ng burger’
MANILA, Philippines — Vice presidential candidate Inday Sara Duterte-Carpio urged her supporters Thursday to ignore those who want to “cancel” them for backing her tandem with former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
While meeting members of Batasan Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association in Quezon City, Duterte-Carpio raised her right hand to create a letter “C” shape as she asked the crowd if they knew what it meant.
“Huwag ho kayong pumayag na kayo ay batuhin ng cancel dahil po sa pangagampanya n’yo para kina Marcos-Duterte,” Duterte-Carpio said.
(Do not allow someone to cancel you because you are campaigning for Marcos-Duterte.)
“Kapag kayo po at binato ng cancel, batuhin niyo po ng [burger]. Burger ng UniTeam ni Marcos-Duterte,” she added.
(If someone throws ‘cancel’ at you, throw a burger at them. The burger of UniTeam of Marcos-Duterte.)
Duterte-Carpio’s remarks were inspired by a popular Filipino saying, “Kapag binato ka ng bato, batuhin mo ng tinapay”, which means to not repay a bad deed with another bad deed.
In the same speech, Duterte-Carpio repeated her call for unity—a consistent theme in her and Marcos’ campaign speeches.
“Sinasabi namin na kapag kami ang pinili ninyo, Marcos-Duterte, pagkatapos ng halalan at nanalo kami ay hihilahin lahat ng mga tao,” Duterte-Carpio said.
(If you choose us, Marcos-Duterte, we will pull everyone up after the election and we win.)
“Walang kulay, walang pink, walang yellow, walang green, walang pula, walang violet, walang orange. Isa lang po ang kulay, kulay Pilipino,” she added.
(There are no colors. No pink, no yellow, no green, no red, no violet, no orange. There’s just one color, the color of the Filipino.)
She also vowed to continue the Build, Build, Build program as well as the anti-criminality efforts of President Rodrigo Duterte.
