“Mula sa puso, maraming salamat. Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang saya at pasasalamat na nararamdaman ko ngayon. Over 2.2 million votes and counting — isang tagumpay na bunga ng inyong tiwala, ng ating paninindigan, at ng sama-samang pagkilos para sa isang makatao at makatarungang lipunan.”

The human rights lawyer went on to write a message of gratitude to his “Cheldren” and everyone who supports Akbayan.

“Sa aking mga Cheldren, at sa bawat isa na nakipag-Akbayan sa amin — sa kalsada, sa social media, at sa mga komunidad — kayo ang tunay na bayani ng laban na ito. Hindi kami nakarating dito kung wala ang inyong pagmamahal at suporta.”

“Lubos ang pasasalamat ko kay Sen. Risa Hontiveros sa kanyang pamumuno sa tagumpay na ito,” he likewise told the current senator.

“We also share this victory with our allies in our fight for a better future: Sen. Bam Aquino, Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, ML Party-list nominee Leila de Lima, Naga Mayor-elect Leni Robredo, former COA Commissioner Heidi Mendoza, Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto, and Dinagat Rep. Kaka Bag-ao,” he continued.

“Ngayon, may mas malakas tayong boses sa Kongreso — at gagamitin natin ito para sa kapakanan ng mga nasa laylayan, at para ipaglaban ang ating soberanya at demokrasya,” he vowed.

Diokno also optimistically expressed, “Ito ang simula ng panibagong yugto. At sa laban na ito, magka-akbay tayo.”

“Muli, taos-pusong pasasalamat,” he earnestly added.
