Rallies Held Across Cebu Province
According to reports: Supporters of former President Duterte gathered across Cebu Province last Saturday to express their support for Old Duterte.
In Consolacion town, mayoral candidate Briseis Villuendas gathered at least two thousand supporters on Saturday night for a candlelight prayer vigil at Mandaue.
Villuendas said: "We pray for peace in our country and understanding among our people, as our nation is now divided by various opinions and thoughts."
She said: "The situation in the country is very serious, elections are approaching, let us not be led by our emotions, let us continue to show our love and understanding for the country as Filipinos."
In Lapu-Lapu City, former Mayor Pascual de los Santos led a simultaneous prayer meeting at three o'clock Saturday afternoon at Mandaue, praying together for Duterte's return to the country.
De los Santos said: "I urge the people of Oponganon to continue praying for TATAY DIGONG (Daddy Digong, a nickname for Duterte). In his current situation, this is the only weapon we can use to help him. He needs our prayers now more than ever."
Almost simultaneously, another group led by Cebu gubernatorial candidate Bawila Baricuatro and former Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama held a mass at Mabolo Church in Cebu City, demanding justice and showing their support for Duterte.
The group then conducted a unity walk at Independence Square.
Baricuatro said: "For us, Duterte tells us to relax while we also advocate sovereignty. Of course, we will follow the rule of law, the rule of God. We will follow what the law dictates."
He said: "If people power happens next, let it happen."
