Querubin joins Poe in Batangas, vows to continue FPJ’s unfinished fight against corruption

LEMERY, BATANGAS – Senatorial candidate and Medal of Valor awardee Ariel Querubin campaigned with Senator Grace Poe yesterday, February 22, at a grand rally in Batangas, one of the country’s vote-rich provinces.

Poe, in her speech, highlighted Querubin’s integrity and track record, urging voters to support him.

“Yung iba sikat na kasi, pero si Col. Querubin, ngayon pa lang ninyo nakikilala. Yan talaga maaasahan ninyo,” Poe said.

Querubin, a decorated retired Marine colonel, spoke about his real-life experiences of risking his life for the country.

“Gaya ho ng napapanood ninyo sa sine noon, si (Fernando Poe Jr.), ilang beses muntik mamatay. Yung Ariel Querubin, sa tunay na buhay, ilang beses din muntik mamatay. Pero nasubukan na rin mamatay na totoo. Nadala na sa morgue,” Querubin shared.

Querubin was hit by a rocket from a Sikorsky Helicopter gunship and was clinically dead when brought to the morgue of the Quirino Labor Hospital.

Querubin also shared how he stood against election fraud while serving as a brigade commander in Marawi, even at the cost of his military career.

“Magheheneral na lang ako, isang o dalawang linggo na lang, lalabas na ang promotion ko. Pero tinindigan ko ang aking mga tauhan, mga opisyal, na allegedly na nautusan mandaya,” Querubin said.

Querubin, who was imprisoned and granted amnesty twice, assured voters that he would bring the same fearless leadership to the Senate.

“Yan po ang Ariel Querubin—lumalaban at naninindigan. Lumalaban sa korapsyon. Naninindigan sa tama,” Querubin declared.

The retired Marine colonel ended his speech with a promise to continue FPJ’s unfinished fight against corruption.

“Maaasahan ninyo na lalaban ko lahat ng korap, magnanakaw, at traydor,” Querubin vowed.

“Yang Ariel Querubin, hindi marunong magnakaw,” Querubin added.
