In a Facebook post, she extended her message to the winners and losers of the BSKE held on Monday, Oct. 30.

“Sa mga kababayan nating nanalo, isang mainit na pagbati! At sa mga hindi pinalad, nawa'y hindi kayo mawalan ng sigla na tumulong sa bayan (To the winners, a warm greeting! To the unlucky ones, may you not lose the will to help the nation),” she wrote.

“Huwag sana nating kalimutan na hindi lamang sa posisyon makikita ang tunay na serbisyo. Sa bawat puso natin ay mayroong diwa ng bayanihan (May we not forget that true service is not for those in a position alone. There’s bayanihan in each of our heart),” Duterte added.

The official cast her vote in her hometown of Davao City at the Daniel R. Aguinaldo National High School, where she was seen engaging with voters and residents there.

After which, she went to Barangays Talandang, Biao Joaquin, and Los Amigos.

“Gusto ko kasing makita kung maayos ang kalagayan ng ating mga guro. Personal kong nasaksihan ang sistema ng botohan at nakita kung paano ito isinagawa, lalo na sa mga lugar na medyo malayo sa sentro ng siyudad (I want to see if our teachers are doing well. I personally witnessed the voting system and I saw how it goes, especially in far-flung places),” the Vice President said.

“Taos-puso akong nagpapasalamat sa ating mga guro na naglingkod sa araw na ito. Inyong ipinakita ang tunay na diwa ng pagtutulungan at pagkakaisa upang masiguro ang isang honest, orderly, at peaceful na eleksyon (I wholeheartedly thank the teachers who serve today. You showed the true meaning of helping and unity to ensure honest, orderly, and peaceful elections),” she added.

Duterte reminded the teachers, who served as election officers during this year’s BSKE, that in case of accidents, whether during the election or not, they can claim a Personal Accident Insurance from the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) which the Department of Education (DepEd) has provided for teaching and non-teaching personnel.
