He was quoted as saying “these are all volunteerism, no campaign funds involved and the support is very overwhelming and strong.” he stated.
President Emil Aquino of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines Zamboanga also said “it was a trial balloon” and they did not expect that many supporters would show up. He revealed that they just posted their activities on Facebook and didn’t expect that a huge number of volunteers will show up for their support.
Walid Amil of Doctors for Duterte said the participation was almost instantaneous. “We spent our own money, all the doctors believe in Duterte, he walks the talk. No promises but you see real action, Davao is one example,” he said.
