Why UniTeam ditched campaign colors in campaign finale

Presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos has been using vlogs to reach as wide an audience as possible ahead of the May 9, 2022 elections.

In BBM Vlog no.210, Marcos Jr. reflects on the just-concluded elections where partial and unofficial results show him ahead with 31 million plus votes.

The former senator and Ilocos Norte governor profusely thanked his staff and supporters for being with UniTeam all the way, donning the red and green campaign colors.

Marcos and his running mate, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte conspicuously didn't wear their campaign colors during their final "miting de avance" or campaign send-off on May 7 in Parañaque City. Instead, they both wore white.

"Noong panghuling miting de avance ay napansin ng karamihan na puti ang isinuot namin ni Mayor Inday

at hindi na ang aming mga campaign colors. Ito ay sa kadalihanang ito ay sagisag ng aming mensahe na wala nang kulay o pulitika sa puntong ito (A lot of people have noticed that I and Mayor Inday didn't wear our campaign colors during the last miting de avance. This symbolizes our message that there would be no colors or politics as we move forward)," Marcos said.

"Tayong lahat ay Pilipino, isang lahi at iisa ang tutunguhan (We are all Filipinos, of one race and destiny)," added the incoming Palace occupant.

To the 31 million who voted for him on May 9, Marcos had this to say: "Hindi sapat ang mga salita upang ipaabot sa inyo kung gaano kami nagpapapasalamat. Ito lang ang aming maisusukli sa inyo: Hindi namin kayo bibiguin (Words aren't enough to express how thankful we are. We can only promise you this: We will not fail you)."
