In a message to volunteers and supporters of ML Partylist, De Lima said the fight for justice and reform is long and complicated, stressing it does not end with one campaign.

"It doesn’t end with one campaign. But this win—this hard-earned, against-the-odds win—proves that even in a system built to discourage idealism, idealism can still break through," De Lima said.
