He further emphasized that it is not about the native dialects or the religion rather being true Filipinos who love the country. He expressed his hope that the Filipino people will support Pres. Duterte as this is the chance to have a merry Christmas.

She further expressed an encouragement of unity among the Filipino people and to give chance to Pres. Duterte to finish his six-year term in which he will change the country. The woman affirmed that the 71-year-old President is really doing his promise to the people – to ‘change’ the Philippines.

Also, the woman emphasized that their activity is a proof that not all the New Yorkers are against the Philippine President and that there are many of them who are at his back supporting his advocacy against drugs, criminality, and corruption.

Another woman has been interviewed next and she expressed that the President loves the Filipino people so much. Another woman expressed her wish for peace and as well as her support to Pres. Duterte.
