The tough-talking Mayor of Davao City was present during a thanksgiving and worship gathering by the religious group on Sunday night at the compound of Jose Maria College in Davao City. According to Pastor Quiboloy, he likened Mayor Duterte to David who defeated Goliath.
”It was in my heart for many, many months already. It was being formed and Lord God was showing the analogy of leadership that when God considers a man, he always considers what is in the heart of a man,” Quiboloy said.
‘Sinasabi ng Diyos sa akin to keep on supporting him (Duterte).”
Duterte was thankful for the endorsement by Quiboloy, who heads a group which the latter said could deliver a ”united vote.”
”I’m happy. Ano yan eh, in using the parlance of elections, it is a command vote. I don’t expect a 100 percent turnout, but just the same, but if you believe in Pastor [Quiboloy], medyo maganda ang development na iyan,” Duterte told reporters.
