VICE presidential frontrunner Sara Duterte, who now has over 31 million votes, thanked Filipinos for accepting the UniTeam’s message of unity.

In a statement released Tuesday, Duterte thanked all the supporters for rallying behind her in her decision to run for the vice presidency.

“Maraming salamat sa naniwala at nagtiwala sa aking desisyon sa tumakbong Bise-Presidente. We shall continue to guard our votes until we have reached the proclamation,” Duterte said.

She also stressed that the UniTeam is the country’s anchor to unite the country from political divide.

“Maraming Salamat sa pagtanggap ninyo ng kilusan ng pagkakaisa na handog ni Bongbong Marcos. Ang UniTeam ay magiging simbolo ng mga magigiting, masisipag, at nagkakaisang Pilipino,” she added.

Duterte has already secured 31,202,591 votes as of 11:17 in the morning. She is 22,051,036 votes away from the race’s second highest with 9,151,555 votes. The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has already transmitted 97.14 percent of the election returns.

As Duterte makes her way closer to the vice presidency, she also reminded the public to work together to recover from the effects of the pandemic, which heavily crippled the country’s economy.

“Sa pagmamahal natin sa bayan ay nanawagan ako sa lahat na magpa-booster shot ng COVID-19 (vaccine) para tuloy na ang paghina ng virus at malampasan na natin ang pandemya at ang mga hamon na dala nito sa ating buhay,” Duterte said.
