“Despite the tremendous obstacles, we were able to campaign for the senate race even without significant resources and media machinery. We were able to prove that even in a contest dominated by political dynasties, progressive voices can hold their own and gain support of millions. We continue to plant the seeds of nationalist and democratic politics, and of a genuine people’s opposition. The effects will be felt in the years to come. We are ever hopeful that the mass movement will continue to move forward even after the elections.” – Makabayan campaign manager and Bagong Alyansang Makabayan national president Renato Reyes Jr.
