The organized nationwide movement
to congregate signatures that will convince Mayor Duterte of Davao City to run as
president in the next 2016 presidential election is widening and reaching more and
more provinces in the Philippines.
The prime mover of the nationwide
movement to gather signature Barangay Captain Masanguid told reporters that the
other provincial coordinators have already working on various area in the
region in order to gather he needed signatures.
“These assigned coordinators to
do the gathering of signatures do not receive single centavo and they solely work
as volunteers,” Baranggay Captain Masanguid pointed out.
A number of congressmen,
councilors, mayors, village chieftain and governors were reached by the
nationwide movement. The operations were not just in Mindanao but also in Luzon
and Visayas.
“Some local government officials already
signified its willingness to support and even volunteered their local
coordinators to work with our movement,” Masanguid added.
However the captain refused to
name the mayors, congressmen and governors whom the movement had already
reached, citing some implications as the 2016 elections is still far.
The movement has gathered more
than 11 million signatures nationwide. This will continue to grow till we
reached the desired percentage.
