"Nakita ko po ang puso niya. ("I saw her heart")," Aragones said, referring to Robredo.
"Kung anong hong nakikita ninyo sa kanya at lumalabas sa kanyang bibig, ‘yun po ay galing sa puso niya. Ang kasimplehan ng pagkatao niya, ‘yun ay dahil sa kaibuturan ng puso niya ay talagang napakabuting tao ni VP Leni Robredo," the three-time third district Laguna Rep. said.
("Whatever you see in her and whatever she says, comes from her heart. VP Leni Robredo is a simple person because she has a good heart and she's a good person.")
Aragones and Robredo worked together in the 16th Congress, and were known as two of the "Powerpuff Girls of the Congress."
"At saan mang larangang mapunta ka, ano man ang kahinatnan at itinaghana para sa iyo, gusto kong malaman mo na ang Powerpuff Girls ng 16th Congress, nandito’t nagmamahal para sa iyo," Aragones said.
("Wherever you go...I want you to know that the Powerpuff Girls of the 16th Congress will always love you.")
