“Ang pag implementar sa ‘Build, Build, Build Program’ nga wala nahitabo sa mga niaging administrasyon nahimong posible karong panahuna. Kini mga ka-igsoonan, akong gi-ampo nga ang sunod unta nga administrasyon, mapadayon kining mga programaha. Apan para kanako, dili malimtan sa katawhan ang legasiya nga gibilin ni President Rodrigo Roa Durterte sa ato (The implementation of the ‘Build, Build, Build’ Program, which never happened in the past administrations was made possible this time. I pray my brothers, that this program will continue to be implemented in the next administration. But for me, this legacy of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte will never be forgotten by the people),” Corvera said.
