SANTIAGO CITY, Isabela — Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio took a “spiritual journey” on Tuesday on her Yamaha XSR900 big bike from Laoag City in Ilocos Norte on her way here to Santiago City in Isabela, where her regional party, Hugpong ng Pagbabago, was next conducting a campaign for its senatorial bets in the May 2019 elections. “I had my personal prayer and I also prayed for the success of all the candidates [of HNP],” she said. The HNP rally drew some 6,000 people to the Four-Lanes Terminal in Barangay Malvar here. Present during the rally here were former presidential political adviser Francis Tolentino, Maguindanao Rep. Zajin Mangudadatu, and former journalist Jiggy Manicad. Other HNP senatorial bets sent their representatives.
