NANAWAGAN ngayong gabi si Pangulong Aquino sa apat na kandidato sa pagkapangulo na magkaisa laban kay Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.
“Mayor Duterte has roughly about 30 percent so that means he doesn’t have the rest of the 70 percent. And in our democratic system, it is the majority that decides for everybody,” sabi ni Aquino sa isang ambush interview sa Paranaque City.
Ito’y matapos makakuha si Duterte ng 33 porsiyento sa pinakahuling survey ng Social Weather Stations (SWS).
“Therefore, it behooves everybody to try and get together and ensure that instead of thinking about what shall we do if everything he says is exactly what he intends to do, why don’t we remove that problem or that threat or that insecurity by uniting the 70 and defeating the 30,” dagdag ni Aquino.
Idinagdag ni Aquino na kung pagsasamahin ang boto pa lamang ng dalawang kandidato, malalalampasan na ang boto ni Duterte.
“Well, all three of them (Roxas, Poe and Binay) or probably even Sen. Santiago but the whole point is, any of two of them unites, if it’s Mar and Grace that unite, we get more than 40 percent, defeats the 30 percent. I’m trying to get all these different voices from so many sectors together and in that sense, perhaps help our candidates get together and have that united front,” dagdag ni Aquino.
Sinabi ni Aquino na nakausap na niya si Roxas hinggil sa kanyang panukala.
“I did talk to Mar Roxas, I did talk to him… for this about the past 3 days. A little text exchange with Sen. Grace Poe last night, but that isn’t also conclusive,” dagdag ni Aquino.
