"I am enormously grateful for the opportunity to have my message heard during this campaign. I want to thank our re-elected congressman, Congressman Ading Cruz. I want to congratulate him and his family," said Cayetano.

He also thanked Engineer Alan Cerafica for what he called an excellent campaign.

"I believe that the politician is not important, the party is not important, even the surname. What's important in discourse is the provision of solutions to problems. That's the job of public servants," Cayetano added.

Here are the results of the congressional vote for the Taguig-Pateros District based on the latest records last night, May 12, 2025, at 11:58 PM, from 295 Election Returns.
