00:00Why did you let him go first?

00:02For our community, the festival, as a dikulana.

00:07Second, he benchmarked a little.

00:10Because after he won as mayor, he was able to bring his city officials

00:16to benchmark in the city of Sorsogon and in the province of Sorsogon.

00:20That's why I let him go.

00:21He toured our Capitolio, our museum, our people's mansion, and our PDRRMO.

00:29Why did you invite so many dikulana? Why did you invite Lenny to welcome VP Lenny?

00:35We were invited by a lot of people.

00:37Some left early, they couldn't wait.

00:39Senator Soto, Senator Lapid, they were the first ones to go here.

00:43President Marcos didn't make it because they were part of the construction of Sorsogon Arena.

00:51VP Lenny also made it after his benchmark, he waited.

00:55President Marcos came to welcome him to the Philippine Arena.

01:00But you know VP Lenny, he didn't want to go on stage.

01:03So I let him go.

01:05It was nice of him to do that.

01:07But given their history, does it mean anything to you?

01:12Well, let's not talk about history. Our history.

01:15Remember, we fought in 2016.

01:17He won for Vice President.

01:19They fought for President in 2022.

01:22VP Lenny won in 2016, if you remember.

01:26President Marcos won in 2022 as President.

01:30So the three of us have a history.

01:33For me, it's symbolic because in the sports arena, we were together.

01:38An odd trio, right?

01:40And I think it's a good lesson for politicians that happened in the sports coliseum of Sorsogon.

01:50In the career of a politician, we should remember to be a sportsman,

01:55to follow the rules and regulations,

01:57and to accept freely who will win a medal or in this case, in the election.

02:04What did they talk about?

02:06Nothing, they just chatted.

02:08I think this is the first step towards healing any wound, any misunderstanding.

02:16Remember, any debate or difference of opinion is political, not personal.

02:23So it's easier to heal that, it's easier to fix that,

02:27than personal fights.
