OUTGOING Senator Paolo Benigno “Bam” Aquino 4th on Wednesday said he has entrusted his fate in the 2019 elections to God, as he vowed to continue serving the Filipino people in whatever way he could in a private capacity.
“Hindi man tayo pinalad na makakuha ng pangalawang termino, hindi mauubos ang pagmamahal ko sa ating mga kababayan at kagustuhang manilbihan sa kapwa, bagkus sa ibang larangan naman,” (While we were not lucky to get a second term, my love and my passion to serve our people has not diminished, and we will do this in other field), said Aquino in a statement.
“Napakalaking karangalan ang manilbihan sa taumbayan kaya’t lubus-lubos ang pasasalamat ko sa mga nakatrabaho at sumuporta sa akin sa loob ng anim na taon at sa mga walang pagod na nangampanya nitong nakaraang mga buwan,” (It’s a big honor to serve our countrymen and that’s why we whole-heartedly thank those who worked and supported me in the past six years and during the past campaign months), he added.
Days before the elections, Aquino said he surrendered his fate to God, believing in His plans for him and for the country.
“Bago pa man ang araw ng eleksyon, ipinaubaya ko na sa Diyos ang resulta. At buo pa rin ang tiwala ko sa Kanyang plano para sa akin at higit sa lahat, para sa ating Bayan,” (Even before election day, I have already entrusted to God the result. Believing His plans for me and most especially for all, for our nation), said Aquino.I
n his six years as senator, Aquino crafted 43 laws, including the landmark Free College Law and the Go Negosyo Act. JAVIER JOE ISMAEL
