“‘Di ka umaatras sa sakit na marahas Kailangan mo magpalakas para sila’y mailigtas
Buwis ang iyong buhay, handang matanggap ‘pag ikaw ay mamatay
Asawa’t anak na hindi masilayan
Pamilya mong iiwan mong luhaan
Masdan niyo ang mundo
Isipa’y imulat, magigising lahat
‘Paglaban niyo ang mundo
Kung magkaisa ang lahat
Hihilom ang sugat
Ikaw ang bantay sa lagusan
Protektahan ang mga mamamayan
‘Di uubra ang mga susuway, mga kriminal, at pasaway”
Also, according to the report of Manila Bulletin, he vowed to be transparent over the billions of money which have been released to combat the pandemic and its effects “except those who were malversed by the officials”. In terms of those amount that have disappeared in the local governments, they are the ones to address it.
