00:00Flying voters, Mayor Francis Zamora here in San Juan. My question is, where are they?

00:07Have you seen 30,000 flying voters from our community?

00:1230,000 people, they say, are flying voters.

00:16Do they have any evidence? Do they have photos or videos

00:21where people will run to register in the community? Can they be seen?

00:26If so many people are flying voters here in San Juan,

00:32they should have noticed something.

00:34They should have taken a video.

00:37Yesterday, the buses and jeeps were still running.

00:40These people are flying voters.

00:43Where is the evidence?

00:45That is what I want to ask Senator Estrada.

00:50I am challenging him to file an exclusion in court.

00:55If there are really 30,000 flying voters, what are their names?

01:00Where do they live?

01:02I am challenging him.

01:05I am challenging you, Senator Gingo Estrada,

01:08to file an exclusion in court.

01:11There are many legal remedies you can do.

01:14First of all, when it comes to voter registration,

01:19there is what is called opposition.

01:21Anyone can oppose.

01:23They opposed in 2024 and applied as a voter.

01:28A well-known supporter of Estrada opposed.

01:32What happened?

01:34The people who opposed them were angry because they were forced to do so.

01:39Because they were forced to go to the homelink,

01:41they were not able to get a job.

01:43They were forced to use that day to go to the homelink

01:47to present themselves.

01:49What was the outcome?

01:52All of 1,224 were allowed to go to the ERB.

01:57Senator Gingo Estrada,

01:59wake up to the truth.

02:02Estrada is no longer a candidate for San Juan.

02:05From 2019, I was a mayor in Moran.

02:09Until now, I am a mayor in Moran.

02:11Estrada is no longer a candidate for San Juan.

02:14I want to remind you

02:16that in 2019, when you were elected as a senator,

02:20you were only number 13 here in San Juan.

02:23In 2022, you were only number 14 here in San Juan.

02:30So, if you think that Estrada is still a candidate for San Juan,

02:36you are wrong.

02:38You will not be able to defeat yourselves here.

02:41What are your candidates?

02:43I don't need flying boaters to win here in San Juan.

02:48I will prove that

02:50because after I won in 2019,

02:54I was virtually unopposed in the following elections.

02:58So, we have proven to our fellow San Juanans

03:03that we can do this as mayors.

03:05We are doing our duties.

03:07San Juan has changed a lot.

03:09I want to remind you

03:12that if he says that we need flying boaters to win,

03:17I want to remind you

03:19that we do not need flying boaters

03:26because he gave his trust to us.

03:32I will not waste his trust.

03:35And because we won 15-0 in 2020,

03:40it means that our fellow San Juanans trust us.
