President Benigno S. Aquino III graced the thanksgiving celebration of the Liberal Party’s Team PNoy after the recent 2013 elections in which nine of its twelve senatorial candidates were elected as new members of the Philippine Senate.

“Ngayong gabi, ipinagdiriwang natin ang tagumpay na ito. Subalit ang tunay na halaga nito ay ang araw-araw na tagumpay na ipinagdiriwang ng mga Boss natin – ng mga Pilipino – sa susunod na mga taon dahil nagbunga ang kanilang tiwala sa Team PNoy, ” the President said.

He told the newly-elected senators from the coalition not to waste the chance bestowed to them and to fulfill the mandate of serving the Filipino people.

Meanwhile, President Aquino encouraged senatoriables Ramon Magsaysay Jr., Risa Hontiveros, and Jamby Madrigal, who was unable to attend, not to lose hope and continue to strengthen their aspirations to uplift the lives of their fellow Filipinos and the country.
