Thousands of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte converged at the Quirino grandstand for a rally to urged the mayor of Davao City to run for President of the Republic of the Philippines. According to some supporters of Mayor Duterte, there are so many reasons why the huge rally in Luneta was not reported by mainstream media.
Major news network in the country including TV and print media did not make a coverage of the rally of Mayor Duterte’s supporters. Some netizens noted that maybe major political parties were afraid of the huge support of Mayor Duterte despite announcing earlier his intentions not to run for President.
Netizens and supporters of Mayor Duterte took to social media particularly on Facebook to share photos of the huge crowds of Duterte supporters in Luneta.
Mayor Rodrigo Duterte did not show up at the Quirino grandstand rally but sent word to thousands of supporters who gathered, to give him some time to do “some final soul-searching,” but also noted that his right now “50-50” in terms of interest to run for President.
Mayor Duterte’s Message: “I hear your clamor loud and clear. I know you want an alternative to those who now present themselves with their ambition to lead the country. I have repeatedly said that I do not have ambitions to be your president.”
But he added that leaders “respond to duty and moral obligation.”
“Sa lahat sa kababayan natin, humihingi ako ng konting panahon, (To all our countrymen, I ask for a little more time) so I can do some final soul-searching with myself and my family. At pagkatapos, sa konting panahon na lang po, haharap ako sa bansa at sa inyong lahat. At magdedesisyon ako ng buong kalooban at mula sa puso. Pangako ko sa inyo – hinding hindi ko kayo pababayaan. (Soon, I will face you and the whole nation. And I will decide willingly and from the heart. I promise you, I will not forsake you).
According to the Commission on Elections the filing of certificates of candidacy for the May 9, 2016 polls is on October 12 to 16.

Sa ating mga kababayan, sa darating na May 7, nawa tayo ay magkaisang ipakita ang ating suporta kay Duterte at Cayetano. Inaanyayahan ang lahat na dumalo sa campaign rally sa Luneta.
May tatlong pangunahing layunin ang malaking event na ito:
1. Labanan ang malawakang news blackout/misinformation sa TV/media. Kung may ilang milyong Pilipino ang makakadadalo, mapipilitan silang ibalita ito.
2. Ang ating mga kababayan na UNDECIDED pa ay maaari nating makuha ang boto, kung matagumpay nating maipakita ang ating nagkakaisang suporta.
3. Pigilan ang banta nang pandaraya sa eleksyon. Wag na natin hintayin na tayo’y madaya pa — ating ipakita ang tunay na sigaw ng sambayanang nagkakaisa sa pamamagitan nang malawakang kampanya!
