The defeat of “Otso Diretso” senatorial candidates in last month’s midterm elections was not a total loss for the opposition, Vice President Leni Robredo said.
“Ako, hindi ko sinasabing natalo tayo. Dahil tayo’y nakipaglaban ng buong puso at buong tapang ,” Robredo, who is the chairperson of the opposition Liberal Party, said.
Robredo paid tribute to them for their all-out support on the campaign of the eight-member opposition slate despite their failed senatorial bid. “Wala nang pagtingin sa nakaraan dahil tapos na iyon. Pero ang titingnan natin, papaano ba natin tayo padadamihin, palalakasin, at lalong papainitin ,” Robredo said.
Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, Magdalo Representative Gary Alejano, and Otso Diretso candidate Erin Tañada were among those who attended the thanksgiving party. Also present were Kaya Natin! lead convenor Harvey Keh and Team Pilipinas convenor Jeric Jucaban.
