“Basta hindi ko nga maintindihan, nagparamdam ang tatay ko sa akin.”
She narrated during the interview that someone gifted her a framed statements of artists who supported her presidential bid on the eve of President Rodrigo Duterte’s State of the Nation Address.
“Nag-text na sinabi na ‘may nakita akong frame na article ng daddy mo’, sabi ko siguro si Direk ang nagpa-frame niyan. Ang sabi ‘oo nga nakita namin sa gamit niya, dadalhin ko bukas dahil may dinner naman’,
“Sa lahat ng araw, imagine-in mo ilang taon na ito, dinala niya ‘yung frame parang statement of support ng iba’t ibang artista na lumabas sa dyaryo, binigay niya the eve ng SONA, bago itong lumabas itong si GMA (Arroyo’s initials),” she stated.
She admitted that she didn’t know what it meant however, she knew that her father was trying to send a message.
“Sabi ko anong sign ito na parang… I know my dad would not have wanted it for himself… just be vigilant, hindi pa tapos, balik na naman tayo,”
It can be recalled that the late actor lost to Arroyo in Presidential elections in 2004 .
