Bam Aquino tells supporters he is "okay" amid loss: Please continue praying for me, for the nation

Reelectionist Senator Bam Aquino has assured his friends and supporters that he is okay despite that he might not make it to the winning circle of Magic 12.

“Hello everyone! I wanted to make my first public statement after the counting finished, but since so many friends are asking how I am, I just want to tell everyone out there that I’m ok!” he said in an Instagram post.

The cousin of former President Noynoy Aquino asked for continuous prayers, not only for him, but for the nation.

“Please continue praying for me, better yet, please continue praying for and loving our country." he said

“Hindi mauubos ang pagmamahal ko sa ating mga kababayan maganda man o hindi ang resulta ng eleksyon. Love love love and gratitude to all those sending their messages of support!” Aquino said

With Bam ranking 14^th, according to PPCRV-Inquirer Transparency Server, none from the opposition slate made it to the winning slot.

Earlier, it was reported that Aquino even lost in the town named after his uncle, former Senator Ninoy Aquino in Sultan Kudarat Province.

Aquino was ranked 16^th place and only obtained 3,772 votes from the town’s partial and unofficial results.
