Moreno also called on Filipinos to support the incoming administration and stop politics based on hate and revenge.
“Hindi po magtatagumpay ang susunod na administrasyon kung patuloy ang hinagpis o sama ng loob… Kailangan nating magkaisa at tulungan ang bagong pinili ng ating mga kababayan,” he said.
“Hindi magtatagumpay si President-elect Bongbong Marcos at VP-elect Sara Duterte… kung tayong mga mamamayan ay hindi magkakaisa… Let us support the new leadership. Let us congratulate them and let us do our part as citizens,” Moreno added.
