“Kung ngayon lang gagawin ang eleksyon dito sa Sta. Rosa, ngayong gagawin ang ating halalan, garantisado ang ating kandidato panalo. Pero ito ang sasabihin ko sa inyo: ito ang katotohanan ng ating laban sa pagkakataong ito, tayo ay naghahabol, tayo ay kailangang tumulak pa. Bitin pa, laban pa. Hanapin pa natin ang mga nasa laylayan ng ating lipunan sapagkat sila ang tunay na minahal ng ating kandidato na si Leni Robredo, di ba?” Fernandez said.
