鈥淎ng Tutok to Win para sa akin, ang ibang partylist mayroon silang mga adhikain pero kami ang adhikain namin, ang purpose ng Tutok to Win ay para sa lahat,鈥� said Revillame, while endorsing Verzosa.
鈥淧inagkakatiwalaan ko sila dahil sila ang may busilak na puso sa pagtulong sa ating mga kababayang mahihirap.鈥�

Verzosa is the young CEO who built health and beauty marketing company Frontrow into a massive multi-level marketing enterprise. He said he learned the value of compassion from the TV host himself.
鈥淣atatandaan ko sabi ni Kuya Wil, puwede mong ituloy ang pagtulong sa malaking plataporma, sa bigger scale na sinasabi niya. Ngayon nakakatulong tayo, pero sa tingin ko kung mayroon tayong partylist, may representation tayo sa Congress mas malawak pa 鈥榶ung matutulungan natin, mas marami pa tayong maabot na kababayan natin,鈥� said Verzosa.
Verzosa said real public service meant sharing the blessings he received to the needy and impoverished.

鈥淎ko ang lagi kong iniisip bukod sa huwag kang makakalimot sa pinanggalingan mo, i-share mo kung anuman yung blessings na ibinigay sa 鈥榶o ng nasa Itaas,鈥� he said.
Verzosa added they are pushing the establishment of 鈥渟ustainable communities鈥� in urban areas.
鈥淯nang araw pa lang naming sa Congress, isusulong ko na ang sustainable community, kung saan ang mga komunidad sa urban areas ay may mga pabahay para sa mga mahihirap, may ospital, may eskuwelahan at mayroon silang kabuhayan,鈥� he said.
