The President urged the different political color supporters to unite and establish a partnership for the betterment of the nation<\/p>\n

\u201cKalimutan na natin \u2018yung mga partido-partido<\/em>. Partnership\u00a0 na lang tayo<\/em> (Let us forget about the political party system. Let us just form a partnership),\u201d President Rodrigo Roa Duterte said on the evening of March 21 in a speech during the Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte National Executive Coordinating Committee (MRRD-NECC) National Convention.<\/p>\n

\u201cKasi kung mag-ano tayo walang mangyari eh. Mag-<\/em>distance kayo eh kasi \u2018yung isa, malapit \u2018yung isa. Huwag na lang \u2018yan. Tulungan na lang tayo <\/em>(Because if we fight, nothing will happen. Some are distanced, while some are close. Let us stop that. Let us help each other),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Chief Executive also stressed that he does not care about those who did not support him during the elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cKung suportahan ako ng karamihan ng tao <\/em>(If a majority of the people support me), I would appreciate it. Hindi kayo tumulong sa akin, kay <\/em>[Jejomar] Binay kayo, kay <\/em>Grace [Poe], wala na akong pake, kay <\/em>Mar [Roxas] (If you did not help me, whether you were for Jejomar Binay, Grace Poe, or Mar Roxas, I do not care),\u201d Duterte said.<\/p>\n

He then added, \u201cTapos na \u2018yun. Bakit pa ba ako mag-ano diyan? Panalo na ako. Kaya ako tahimik na lang ako<\/em> (That is already done. Why do I have to care about that? I already won. That is why I keep silent).\u201d<\/p>\n

Duterte also said that for those who do not wish to cooperate with his proposal, are free but have to comply with some sort of division and exchange.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Yung ayaw talaga, doon tayo maglagay ng\u2026 So ayaw mong mag<\/em>-join sa amin<\/em>, it\u2019s politics, sige. Pero kung magkausap tayo, ibigay mo sa amin \u2018yung<\/em> Congress, iyo \u2018yung <\/em>local governments. Palit-palit na lang tayo para<\/em> everybody happy (For those who do not wish to join us, this is politics. But if we will talk, you have to give us the Congress, you can have the local governments. Let us just have an exchange for everybody to be happy),\u201d the President explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
