Danao City Mayor Ramon “Nito” III assured presidential candidate Sen. Grace Poe and running mate Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero that they will get the votes in Danao City and the rest of Cebu’s 5th district.
During the Barug Alang sa Kauswagan (Bakud) party rally at the Danao Civic Center, Mayor Durano admitted that Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte may have gained support in Danao City since he traces his roots here.
But he said the election is not about family and their decision to support Poe instead of their relative is based on their platform.
“This election is not about family. This is not about the Duterte family. This is not about the Durano family. This is about your pledge of not leaving behind ordinary people in the quest for progress,” he said.
Poe and Escudero arrived at the Danao Civic Center at past 3:20p.m. on Tuesday.
They were also joined by their senatorial candidates Miguel Zubiri, Isko Moreno and Susan Ople.
Mayor Nito assured Poe and Escudero that they will use their machinery in Bakud to ensure their victory since they are a solid bloc here in Cebu.
There are nine municipal mayors and one city mayor under Bakud Party. Only Liloan Mayor Duke Frasco is a member of the Garcia-led One Cebu Party.
