Filled with so much pride and love .
Head held high as I got eliminated after the 9th count. I might not be lucky enough to get the seat but hand in my heart , I am so proud to have come this far .
The trust you all gave me is what fed me with courage to stand and face this crazy and exciting world of politics . But every moment was worth it . It made me want to do more so I can help more . To get 619 number 1’s was worth everything . It wasn’t easy but my family , my team , my Labour Party carried me through . And for that I am beyond grateful .
With my Filipino blood and my Irish heart , it is with great pride to write this “ I am home “.
A home where I am accepted , loved and trusted by so many who stood with me through this journey . Who offered hugs , messages and encouraging hand shakes from the moment I put myself forward until the moment I heard my votes will be distributed. I will remember and cherish every single one . I hope and will continue to make you all proud .
To the man of the moment, Alistair, you are the wind beneath my wings . To my amazing and beautiful children , mommy did this all for you.
