00:00For our festival, as a Dikulana, and second, he benchmarked a little.
00:07Because after he won as mayor, he brought his city officials to benchmark in the city of Sorsogon and in the province of Sorsogon.
00:18So I accompanied him to tour our Capitolio, our museum, our people's mansion, and also our PDRRMO.
00:27Why did you invite a lot of Dikulanas to welcome VP Lenin?
00:33We were invited by a lot of visitors.
00:35Some left early, they couldn't wait.
00:37Senator Soto, Senator Lapid, they were the first to go here.
00:41President Marcos didn't make it because they were busy constructing Sorsogon Arena.
00:49VP Lenin also made it after his benchmark, he waited.
00:53President Marcos came to welcome him to the Philippine Arena.
00:58But you know VP Lenin, he didn't want to go on stage, so I asked him if it's okay to do it.
01:05But given their history, does it mean anything to you?
01:11Well, not their history, our history.
01:13Remember, we fought in 2016, if you remember, for Vice President.
01:17They fought for President in 2022.
01:20VP Lenin won in 2016, if you remember.
01:24President Marcos won in 2022 as President.
01:28So the three of us have a history.
01:31For me, it's symbolic because in the sports arena, we are an odd trio, right?
01:38And maybe it's a good thing that politicians followed the rules of the sports coliseum of Sorsogon.
01:48In the career of a politician, we should remember to be a sportsman,
01:53to follow the rules and regulations,
01:55and to accept freely who will win the medal, or in this case, the election.
02:02What did they talk about?
02:03Nothing, they just greeted each other.
02:05I think this is the first step towards healing any wound, any misunderstanding.
02:13Remember, any debate or difference of opinion is political, not personal.
02:20So it's easier to heal, it's easier to fix, compared to personal fights.
