CEBU CITY, Philippines – Vice President Sara Duterte visited Carcar on April 27, with reelectionist Senator Imee Marcos for a “support rally” that called for former President Rodrigo Duterte’s return to the Philippines.
Duterte was there not only to endorse Imee Marcos but to also express gratitude to those who support her and her father.
“First of all, my thanks to everyone here today,” Sara expressed. “Some of you have yet to eat your breakfast, lunch, or even snacks but you all waited and gave us your time and day for me to converse with you all,” she said.

Duterte has been traveling all over the Philippines not only to gather support for her and her father but as well as to endorse their senatorial slate, which included the so-called Duter-10 plus Imee Marcos and Camille Villar.
Duterte also shared updates about his father’s condition at The Hague, where the former president awaits his trial at International Criminal Court.
The support rally was attended by hundreds of supporters of the Dutertes, including former Santa Fe mayor Titing Esgana, congressional candidate and distant relative of the Dutertes Maria Fema Duterte, and several Mayoral candidates such as Cristine Takahashi and Paz Radaza from Lapu-Lapu City, Sagrado Cadiz from Catmon, Jongjong Nudnud from Aloguinsan, Den Jadraque from Malabuyoc, and Manny Sanchez from Naga.
