“They can only say that they might seek public office, but they cannot define what office they will be seeking.”

“He has already announced so we will be running together.” adding that the campaign color of the vice president is red.
‘If I become president, this country will be much better’

“If I become president sometime in the very near future, this country will be much better than it was before. Our country suffers from the malaise of plunder.”
“I think because I have served the government from the very beginning, I’ll end my career here.”

Duterte has nothing to do with Madam Miriam,s Winning in the race if the rounded Filipino voters is concern. Bakit ako makipagsapalaran sa mysteriosong candidato na mayroon namang pranka at proven and tested na noong araw pa! kung wala lang pera at panloloko ang maganap. Talagang panalo na si Madam Miriam dahil marami na siyang napatunayan sa anti corruption campaign niya gaya na lang sa pagpapakulong kay tanda, pogi at sexy.
