“Muli, nagpapasalamat ako sa sipag, pagkamalikhain, at pusong dinala ng ating hanay sa kampanya. Dahil sa inyo, nasilip natin ang uri ng lipunang kaya natun maabot,” Robredo said.

“Sa ika-13 ng Mayo, magkakaroon ng pagtitipon sa Maynila upang magpapasalamat sa ating mga volunteers. Dadalo rin ako doon. Maglalabas kami ng detalye tungkol sa pagtitipon,” she added.

Robredo added that they are also studying reports of alleged poll irregularities.

“Mulat ako sa mga tanong na nananatiling nakalimbitin sa situwasyon. Sinisimulan na namin ang pagkausap sa mga eksperto upang maaral nang husto ang mga ulat at alegasyon na nababasa natin sa social media,” she continued.

“Agad naming ibabahagi ang anuman resulta ng pag-aaral.”

Robredo is currently trailing former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. by at least 16 million votes.

Her running mate, Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan will also join the event.

“Sasamahan ko si VP Leni sa Mayo 13 sa pagtitipon na gaganapin sa Maynila upang iparamdam ang taos-pusong pasasalamat sa lahat ng tumulong sa ating kampanya. Sa ngayon, isang mahigpit na yakap muna ang aking handog sa lahat. Walang iwanan,” Pangilinan said.
