VP Sara rallies support for PDP Laban bets in Manila sortie

Vice President Sara Duterte on Friday continued to rally support for PDP-Laban's senatorial slate. 

During a speech in a campaign sortie in Manila for mayoral candidate Isko Moreno, Duterte said she recently got a call from her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, who she said instructed her to encourage Filipinos to vote for the ten senatorial candidates aligned with the Duterte camp.

The lineup includes Bong Go, Bato dela Rosa, Jimmy Bondoc, Rodante Marcoleta, Philip Salvador, Atty. Vic Rodriguez, Atty. JV Hinlo, Atty. Raul Lambino, Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, and Dr. Richard Mata.

She emphasized the importance of “block voting” to ensure a unified direction in leadership and avoid political infighting.

“Kapag hinaluan ninyo ng ibang kandidato...mag-aaway lang lagi. Kapag mataas ang boto at malayo ang agwat ng boto, ay mahirap siya habulin sa dayaan sa makina,” she warned.

The Vice President, meanwhile, also took a jab at the administration bets "Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas."

"Ang naririnig lang natin ay "Bagong Pilipinas" pero wala namang nagbago sa ating bayan,” VP Sara said.

“Lalo pa tayong nagugutom. Ang daming mga pamilya ang gutom,” she added.

Earlier, the vice president called on Filipinos to abandon what she described as “bad habits” in choosing leaders, urging them to become more discerning voters in the upcoming elections.

“Hindi naman ako kandidato ngayong eleksyon na ito kaya ang ginagawa ko lang ay nagpapaalala lang ako sa ating mga kababayan sa mali natin na ugali sa pagpili ng ating mga leaders," she said. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
