Recently, in an interview, the senator’s wife, Megastar Sharon Cuneta, spoke about how her husband beat the odds. He defied the doubts and the expectations that surveys have set.
On the day of the polls, they were not checking accordingly, and someone just messaged them informing them of Pangilinan’s standing in the Senate race. They could not believe it at first, but when they were able to confirm it themselves, they literally down to their knees.
They knelt while crying and praying. The demographics in the official result were something they largely credited to the youth and issue-based voters. The Megastar said, “The millennials, the Gen Zs… they knew. We have a stake in this. Their future is also our future.”
It was their intention to give a “clean, honest governance” that did not waver despite the criticisms and attacks online. They worked hard for him to win and to serve, and not to enrich himself.
Previously, Senator Pangilinan expressed his disbelief over the results. He initially thought that his standing was fake news. With the current events, the Senate race seemed like an uphill battle for him due to limited resources and the dominance of the Marcoses and the Dutertes.
