Pilipinas Debates 2016: Santiago says she waited for death to come but...

[pagmamahal]

Until now, I still look up to this woman.She's not only a woman of caliber but also with humor. I love you, Sen.Miriam.😢We miss you in the congress.

[jeimarsupan]

nanggilid luha ko nung pinuri ni ma'am Miriam si Duterte nung huli.. napakagenuine nung ngiti ni Duterte nung pinuri sya, showing his utmost respect to ma'am Miriam. buti kahit paano inabutan ko si ma'am Miriam nung magkaisip ako about politics. as always ma'am Miriam is really honest and nasa puso tlga nya magserve sa mga Pilipino.

This was, and it still is the most epic endorsement I've witnessed in my entire life.

DUTERTE & SANTIAGO ♥️💚

Golden moment in philippine politics. Both are icons and their legacies will be talked about for generations

A wise person knows how to make funny statements in the middle of discussion and that is Mirriam and Duterte.

[joshiit]

This is a proof of how genuine their friendship was and how good of a strategist the two of them are...

[ArvinYorro]

She played her hand. At this point, her intelligence team must have told her that she has low chance of winning. She implicitly endorsed Duterte.

This is the reason why I still believe BBM is genuine despite of all maligning. MDS is like a flawless woman in the Philippine politics. Back in 2016, MDS even chose BBM to be her VP. If MDS believe that BBM is corrupt then why she chose him?

Her existence in the country is truly a once in a blue moon. This brilliant woman has all the right to become the mother of us all and not the other one.

These two set the standards high. Both are great and wise leaders with high IQ and sense of humor. Sen. Miriam could have been one of the best presidents that we never had. The Philippines would have been more better if these two would ally back then. The present candidates we have right now, aren't on Par with these two. Both Duterte and Miriam are legends.

[azrieldolo]

it is so sad that she's gone but im so glad that she ended up endorsing our current president. Salute to this lady!

[mimilunday]

I often see MDS bully everyone around. But the respect she shows for DU30 has just solidified my vote for him.

[Msjazz]

Goosebumps! Ganda ng tandem ng dalawang to.. ❤️ kilala nila yung trabaho ng bawat isa kaya hindi sila naglalaglagan 🥺 We miss you Sen. Mirriam..

[pabloromano]

I just love how Duterte and Miriam supporting each other.

[MarcoDL]

My most favourite Presidential debate. Two great leaders yet funny! I love how they focused to acknowledge and complimenting each other instead of bashing!!! I adore & salute late Senator Miriam's advocacy. Same goes to Pre. Duterte was such a great Mayor in Davao and by far did a great job as President of the Philippines after former Pre. Marcos. He is not perfect but he started and did a lot of good things for standing in the Philippines! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas ❤️

My great respect to mayor duterte how he appreciated the comment of Madam Mirriam. He made a bow to her, means he really have a great respect to Madam Mirriam. Salute you Sir for being a humble Mayor of this country. God bless you.

I miss the brilliance and wit of this intelligent woman. She really was talking of the real picture of PH political system. Still watching in 2020.

[BingCY]

OMG. The best debate I’d ever witnessed: Between Sen. Miriam and Mayor Rody! The complementation of each other that won the 2016 elections! Both were winners! Wit and humour and intellect rule!

[Ms.AnnThrope]

This was the BEST POLITICAL “love team” then, Madam MDS & DU30. 😊 Now we have BBM & SDC. ❤💚 ✌👊
