Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD) vice presidential candidate Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte revealed an important lesson she learned during the grueling 90-day campaign period.
During the UniTeam's third and final "miting de avance" or pre-election gathering last Saturday, May 7 in Parañaque City, Duterte implied that not all issues raised by their poll opponents merit a reply.
"Natutunan ko sa ating kampanya na wag na pumatol (I learned during our campaign how not to engage)," the presidential daughter said.
"Kaya nga di ba may 'burger' tayo dahil burger kayong lahat at silang lahat sa amin ni Bongbong Marcos (That’s why we have a 'burger' right, and that for me and Bongbong Marcos, you are all burgers)," noted Duterte.
The UniTeam burger was first mentioned by the lady mayor in a Quezon City sortie last March when so-called cancelers targeted their supporters. It has since become a campaign symbol for the ticket.
The UniTeam is composed of Duterte and Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) standard-bearer Marcos.
"Sa Lunes, sa araw ng halalan ipakita natin ang nagkakaisang boto ninyo para sa buong UniTeam (On Monday , on election day, show your united vote for the entire UniTeam)," Duterte urged their supporters.
Duterte and Marcos have been consistent frontrunners in surveys for vice president and president, respectively.
