    The lone woman presidential candidate spoke of her vision of a country where no one would go hungry, there are efficient transportation networks and a justice system that works. She then asked her supporters not to lose hope. "Trust that at the end of all the sweat, time and sacrifice, there is a victory waiting for us," she said in her speech in Makati's financial district.
