As the election campaign period wrapped up, Rey acknowledges how empowering and educational it had been to him. The visits, the hectic schedules, the long nights, the meetings with strategists and partymates, all these will now be a blur of memories but he is grateful for the life lessons learned during the past two months, for the  chance to be heard and for being a part of this democratic process. 

Whatever the outcome, he leaves everything to destiny, to fellow Tagbilaranons and to destiny.
