From New York, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach said:” Mabuhay, mga kababayan.Patuloy tayong magdasal at magtiwala na ang mga mahalal ay [karapat] dapat. Pati po ako puyat, kabado, at nagaabang. Mahal na Diyos, kayo na po ang bahala (Keep praying and have faith that whoever gets elected is worthy. Even I am tired, nervous, waiting. Lord, it’s up to you).”
She also recalled the moment when Camarines Sur congresswoman Leni Robredo asked her a question during the Binibining Pilipinas 2015 pageant. Robredo is currently leading by a slim margin against Senator Bongbong Marcos in the vice presidential race.
Wow. Naalala ko lang it was Ms Leni Robredo who asked me my final question in Bb Pilipinas 2015. Yung "Think before you click".

Change is coming. We either embrace it or oppose it. That is life. Harmonize, don’t compromise. Learn to filter the bad and hone the good.

Is it just me, or whenever Filipinos get what they want, in the end, they complain and regret. Think about the past 18 years for example.

I am glad I never used the word ‘tard’ against any of the candidates’ followers throughout the campaign. It is so unfair to special ppl.
— Jim (@Jimparedes) May 9, 2016

This is the reality. Over 60%, the ranking for President can’t change anymore But VP gap is too small. I will wait tip;l the last vote.

Lovi Poe, who campaigned for her sister said: “Knowing Senator Grace Poe and Senator Chiz Escudero personally pushed me to support and vote for such beautiful souls. Because I’ve seen it. And I know. I admire their compassion and integrity….It’s just great to know that such people still exist. By people I mean people whose main goal is to be a public servant and not just a politician.
“Now I know the difference. I salute you both for handling everything with grace. In addition to that, I would like to congratulate our next president and Vice President. It’s time to prove to us that they’re not as bad as how others perceive them. God bless the Philippines!”
Duterte still leads the partial and unofficial tally as of Tuesday, May 10. His opponents, Poe and Roxas, ranked third and second, have already conceded. – Rappler.com
