MANILA, Philippines – Former president Rodrigo Duterte led the proclamation rally of his senatorial candidates at the historic Club Filipino in San Juan City on Thursday, February 13, two days after the start of the campaign period for national elective posts.
In his speech, interspersed by prompted chants of “Duterte pa rin (Still Duterte),” the former chief executive attacked his successor, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., for failing to stem high food prices, especially rice, unemployment, and crime.
The Duterte senatorial candidates bring together old and new allies, adopted candidates and PDP-Laban members, including two reelectionist senators and a former Marcos Jr. Cabinet member.
Here are the key moments of the Duterte slate’s campaign.
