Wala akong sinaktan sa aking mga karibal.
Pahayag ito ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. sa inagurasyon sa National Museum sa Maynila araw ng Huwebes (Hunyo 30).
Sa talumpati ni Marcos, sinabi nito na wala siyang binanatan sa mga nakatunggaling kandidato sa pagka-pangulo sa nakalipas na eleksyon.
“By your vote, you rejected the politics of division. I offended none of my rivals in this campaign. I listened instead to what they were saying and I saw little incompatibility with my own ideas about jobs, fair wages, personal safety and national strength and ending want in a land of plenty,” pahayag ni Marcos.
“I believe that if we focus on the work at hand, and the work that will come to hand, we will go very far under my watch. You believe that too. And I listened to your voices who are calling for pagkakaisa, pagkakaisa, pagkakaisa. We will go further together than against each other, pushing forward not pulling each other back out of fear, out of a misplaced sense of weakness. But we are the furthest from weak. The Filipino diaspora flourishes even in the most inhospitable climes, where they are valued for their quality. The changes we shape will benefit all and will shortchange no one. I was not the instrument of change, you were that. You made it happen. I am now,” pahayag ni Marcos.
Sinabi pa ni Marcos na batid niya ang bigat na responsabilidad na iniatang sa kanya ng taong bayan.
“You picked me to be your servant to enable changes to benefit all. I fully understand the gravity of the responsibility that you’ve put on my shoulders. I do not take it lightly but I’m ready for the task. I will need your help. I want to rely on it but rest assured I do not predicate success on the wide cooperation that’s needed. I will get it done, ” pahayag ni Marcos.
