DUTERTE
A courtesy call on the mayor, a motorcade followed by a rally are among the activities today as Presidential aspirant, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and his running mate, Senator Alan Peter Cayetano bring their campaign to Toledo City today.
Duterte’s advance party was in Toledo City yesterday to talk to Mayor John Henry “Sonny”Osmeña regarding his presence on stage with Duterte and his slate.
“Naa na mi mga tao nga nakig-istorya ni Mayor Osmeña on his possible sharing of the stage with Duterte,”said lawyer Rex Fernandez, head of Duterte’s Cebu Campaign Team.
These talks however do not include the possibility that Osmeña would join Duterte in the motorcade, said Fernandez.
He said he was also not aware if Osmeña would endorse Duterte, but added “he (Osmeña) will make his decision in his own time.”
Last Tuesday, Osmeña endorsed the presidential bid of Vice President Jejomar Binay, of the United Nationalist Alliance during his kickoff rally for his reelection campaign.
Earlier, Alma Mondigo, Osmeña’s Information Officer said Osmeña will share the stage with Duterte and Cayetano and is even scheduled to deliver a speech after Duterte and Cayetano.
