Robredo: Panatag ang loob ko dahil nakikita kong magkakahanay ang paniniwala ng Pilipino; magkakarugtong ang diwa ng mga Pilipino; iisa ang ritmo ng dangal natin kapag may kababayang nagwawagi sa paligsahan o anumang entablado.
Robredo: Hindi natin iniiwan ang isa't isa, at habang namumulat tayong may landas tungo sa mga pangarap natin, tiyak kong aakayin natin ang isa't isa tungo sa katuparan ng mga ito.
Robredo: Buong-buo ang tiwala ko sa bawat Pilipino. Tiwala ako sa tibay, sa husay ng bawat isa sa atin; sa liwanag ng ating kalooban; sa pag-asa at katotohanang magbibigkis sa ating bayan.
Robredo alludes to Tallana gold myth of Marcoses: Ang mga napipilitang iasa ang kinabukasan sa ginintuang mga kasinungalingan, mamumulat na ang tunay na ginto, nasa puso ng bawat Pilipinong handang makipagbayanihan.

Pangilinan: Ang pangako nauuwi sa pako… Pero ang track record, ang may nagawa na, ang may programang maganda na nalunsad, itaga nyo sa bato, meron na yan… Sino ang matagal nang inuuna ang mahihirap, ang mga kapos?… Walang iba kundi ang tropang Robredo-Pangilinan! #PHVote
