"Walang paghahanda, walang paghahanda at all. I had no money. I had nothing. Jesse was the only one in the family who was a politician. And I was running against someone who was coming from the most powerful political dynasty in our province."

"If 10 to 20 people were attending my meetings, thousands would attend his. Of the 8 mayors in my district, only 1 was for me. Of the 186 barangays, only 25 barangay captains were supporting to me. They wouldn& #39;t allow me to use their plazas because natatakot sila sa kalaban ko."

"Winning by that margin restored my faith in our people. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, hindi naman pala pera ang pinakamahalaga. Even if people were receiving those foodpacks, parang they still voted for kung sino ang nasa puso nila."

"Bakit kailangang mangyari ang nangyayari, and we never got any answers."

"When I decided to accept the challenge, yung surveys, I was at 1%. The frontrunner was at 44%. Parang napakaimposible. Hindi kilala si Leni Robredo.

Pero gaya ng dati, tiwala lang."
