The election is over but Covid-19 is still here.
That is why vice presidential frontrunner Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio has again called on the people to take booster shots for protection and 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 against Covid-19 para tuloy na ang paghina ng virus at malampasan na natin ang pandemya at ang mga hamon na dala nito sa ating buhay,” she said in a statement shared by Hugpong Ng Pagbabago (HNP).
Mayor Sara is currently in Manila to hold a series of thanksgiving meet-ups for the UniTeam slate, headquarters employees and staff, and volunteer support groups.
On Monday, Mayor Sara announced that win or lose, her team will be conducting an online thanksgiving for all the supporters and the UniTeam’s campaign team, which started on May 10, 2022.
The mayor also said that she and her team will personally thank the people and the support group for their contribution and help during the campaign.
Mayor Sara thanked all the supporters for rallying behind her in her decision to run for the vice presidency and thanked the Filipinos for accepting the UniTeam’s message of unity.
“Maraming salamat sa naniwala at nagtiwala sa aking desisyon sa tumakbong Bise-Presidente. “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.
Based on the partial, unofficial results aggregated from the Commission on Elections (Comelec) data as of 7:32 a.m. of May 11, 2022, and from 98.22 percent of election returns, Mayor Sara has 31,522,495 votes, and coming in second is Kiko Pangilinan with 9,223,693 votes.
Mayor Sara urged the people to continue guarding their votes until the proclamation.
