Duterte: Don’t vote for me if you won’t vote for Alan

Presidential bet Rodrigo R. Duterte asked the people of Davao City to also vote for his running mate, Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano for vice president this coming May 9 election.
“Kung magpili gani mo’g bise presidente, huna-hunaa pud ko. Ayaw ko igibulag sa bise president nako kay mura na og magtiayon (Think of me first before you chose a vice president. Do not separate me from my vice president because the tandem is just like a couple),” Duterte said in his speech during the civic parade of the Araw ng Davao.
Duterte said he wants to be with his vice president so that there will be unity in the implementation of his government programs once elected.
“Ug tagaan kog bise presindente na tagalaing partido, ang goberno nato magsige na pud og away (If you will give me a vice president that comes from another party, our government will always have fighting),” he said.
“If that is the case, then do not vote for me if you will not vote for Alan,” he added.
Duterte said that in his ‘last chapter’ of his life, he does not want to have conflict in his administration.
“I am asking for your help, think of it, if you will vote for me then vote also for Cayetano,” he said.
Duterte said Cayetano is the only person who could help him in his administration because there are programs that might be overlooked as he wants to prioritize the elimination of criminality, illegal drugs and graft and corruption.
Earlier, Duterte assured Cayetano he will not be abandoned despite of his low ratings in the latest survey.
The presidential aspirant, who ranked second in the latest Pulse Asia-ABS-CBN survey, said both of them will work harder together to boost Cayetano’s ratings.
He also clarified that he remains a hundred percent supportive of Cayetano despite a controversial statement he made when he was campaigning in the Ilocos region. He said he was only invited there by a close supporter of the Marcos clan.
Duterte earlier told that voters who will not be voting for Cayetano as their vice president should forget about voting for him as well. Armando B. Fenequito Jr.
