It’s crucial for Robredo, the opposition leader vs Duterte, to woo voters in Davao. In the 2016 VP race, she lost in this region by a huge margin. Davaoeños went for Duterte’s running mate then, Alan Peter Cayetano. In 2nd place was Ferdinand Marcos Jr, Robredo a distant 3rd.

Across the capitol, one can still see this tarpaulin of Lacson displayed as candidate of Partido Reporma. He has resigned from the party this morning, after being told Alvarez will be supporting another candidate instead. It’s a big blow to the Lacson campaign. |

Alvarez: Right now, two candidates have pulled away from the pack, and while the candidate second in ranking still lags far behind from the frontrunner, it is evident that her campaign has gained, and continues to gain, significant traction.

Alvarez: Hindi kami nakapag-usap ni Sen Ping nang personal pero through text messages nag-communicate po kami. Dito sa desisyon na to ay nag-usap-usap po kami lahat ng mayors at liders dito sa probinsya. At napagkasunduan nga na susuportahan ang kandidatura ni VP Leni Robredo.
