Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino (LP) is leading the presidential race with 13.5M votes, while Jejomar Binay (PMP) and Manuel Roxas (LP) are almost head to head in the vice presidential race. Presidential hopefuls Manuel Villar, Gilberto Teodoro Jr., Richard Gordon, and John Carlos delos Reyes have already conceded the race to Aquino.
A lot of people have been asking what the word concede means. Lifted from http://www.merriam-webster.com, concede is a transitive verb meaning to grant as a right or privilege, to accept as true, valid, or accurate, to acknowledge grudgingly or hesitantly.
In short, all presidential candidates except for Erap Estrada who is second with 8.6M votes (as of 7:57am), have admitted defeat and showed support to Aquino.
Oh Bless our country. Tomorrow will be the day when change will happen…
Hoping for the best.
Got Inked!
