Comebacking Manila Mayor Lito Atienza yesterday expressed his gratitude to the influential Iglesia ni Cristo, El Shaddai, Muslim community, parish councils, barangay officials, various organizations, residents and many others who are solidly supporting his candidacy.
Atienza said that he was very overwhelmed by the love and support that he has been receiving, especially from the Manilans.
“Thank you very much. Victory is now within my reach,” he said. “I am overwhelmed by the support I am getting from everyone. I feel loved by the people of Manila. And I am very, very grateful. Thank you….thank you very much.”
With only three days to go, it’s already easy to see who will win in the mayoral elections in Manila if one gauges it with the way the thousands of Manila residents welcome the motorcades of Atienza and his runningmate, Bonjay-Isip.
“It’s chilling to see how the people excitedly welcome us every time they see us,” Atienza said.
According to Atienza’s supporters who accompany him during motorcades around the streets of Manila, the people zealously welcome him wherever he goes.
“I will fulfill my responsibilities as the father of the city and I will ensure that all my programs for Manila, especially for the poor, will be achieved. I am indebted to you for your trust and support. With the help of the Almighty Father, we will succeed,” he said.
