MANILA, Philippines — As the election approaches, the FPJ Panday Bayanihan partylist gathered an impressive crowd of over 12,000 Batangueños at their Miting de Avance, held at the FPJ Arena in San Jose, Batangas.

Brian Poe passionately addressed the crowd, saying, “Mga kasama, konti na lang eleksyon na. Konting-konti na lang. Sa lahat ng nakikita kong surveys, laging nangunguna, laging nasa top 5, top 3, sa Luzon top 2 ang FPJ Panday Bayanihan Partylist. At yan po ay hindi magiging posible kung hindi dahil sa tulong ‘nyo. Alam natin itong San Jose ay balwarte po ng FPJ Panday Bayanihan dahil dati pa umiikot at naghahatid ng tulong si Kuya Mark Patron hindi lang dito sa San Jose pero sa iba’t ibang panig ng Batangas. Kaya dito sa Batangas, balita ko, may nakita akong survey na number 1 ang FPJ Panday Bayanihan Partylist.” He expressed gratitude for the community’s support and emphasized the party’s stronghold in the region.

He further stated, “Naniniwala po ako na si Kuya Mark ay magtatrabaho para sa mas magandang kinabukasan, hindi lang para sa San Jose pero para sa ating bansa.” He highlighted his personal commitment to support Mark Patron, believing in the positive impact he would bring to both San Jose and the entire country.

“Kaya kailangan natin si Kuya Mark dahil kung tutuusin, wala pa siya sa puwesto, ang dami na niyang nagawa para sa Batangas. Isipin n’yo po, kapag nakaupo na si Kuya Mark at ganon kasipag ang second nominee at pangalawang Congressman ko, isipin mo kung anong magagawa ko para sa Batangas, para sa San Jose, kaya kailangan ko ang tulong ‘nyo,” he said, urging the crowd to rally behind Mark Patron and supporting his vision for progress in the region.

Mark Patron, the second nominee of the FPJ Panday Bayanihan Partylist, shared his commitment to the people by saying, “Ako po si Mark Patron lumalapit sa inyo ngayon nagpapakilala, ako po ang second nominee ng FPJ Panday Bayanihan Partylist. Ang kasuwertehan po natin, ang isa po sa nominee ay taga Batangas. Bakit po? Kasi kahit papaano sa dami dami ng pwedeng pinili ni Senator Grace Poe at ni Brian, ang napili po nila ay isang Batangueño kasi naniniwala po sila sa kakayanan ng mga Batangueño at sa pagsusuporta ng Batangas. Kaya naman sana wag po natin kalilimutan at pababayaan ang FPJ Panday Bayanihan. Hindi pa po partylist, hindi pa po nakakaupo pero ngayon po ay nagsisimula at matagal na pong tumutulong sa bawat mamamayang Pilipino.” He emphasized the importance of supporting the partylist in recognition of their dedication to the community, highlighting the honor of having a Batangueño nominee and the ongoing efforts to assist the Filipino people.

In her heartfelt speech, Senator Grace Poe reflected on her father’s legacy, saying, “Naalala ko yung tatay ko, si FPJ matapang pero hindi mayabang kaya kahit na inis na inis ka na sa kausap mo, kailangan maayos pa rin ang iyong pagtatanong, kailangan magalang pa rin pero huwag ka rin magpapaloko, importante po ‘yon.” She emphasized the values of humility and perseverance that her father embodied. She expressed her gratitude to the audience, assuring them, “Muli, nais kong magpasalamat sa inyo, at igarantiya sa inyo na ang aking anak ay napakasipag at tapat sapagka’t kung ako’y sinuway niya at gumawa siya ng kalokohan, hindi ko siya susuportahan, sapagka’t ang pangalan ni FPJ ang ipinamana niya sa amin. Si FPJ hindi lamang artista, isang taong tumutulong talaga sa kapwa, hindi maramot, mapagbigay.” Her words highlighted her confidence in her son’s work ethic and integrity, reinforcing the legacy of compassion and service that FPJ represented.

The campaign season is coming to an end in just a few days, and with the election approaching, the strong support from the community for the partylist is becoming clear. This enthusiasm suggests that this partylist could very likely uphold and advance FPJ’s legacy in Congress, representing the interests of the people. /cb
