DAVAO CITY — Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte finally identified Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino as his presidential bet after remaining tightlipped for so long.

The mayor earlier said his choice of vice presidential candidate is Senator Mar Roxas but refused to give a hint as to who his presidential choice was.

But in Friday’s yellow motorcade by the Liberal Party (LP) and Duterte’s Hugpong sa Tawong Lungsod, he was in a vehicle rigged with a stage along with Aquino, Roxas, and his daughter Sara, repeatedly saying over the microphone as the motorcade crawled amid screaming onlookers: “Aquino-Roxas ang among ginatabangan ni Inday. Walay laing rason, limpyo ang ilang pagkatawo.”

Hordes of people gathered by the streets holding yellow materials as they waited for the motorcade.

The pronouncement formally explains the reason for the many yellow ribbons that now adorn the city, including City Hall, City Council building, city offices, and city parks and structures. (Gigie Arcilla-Agtay/Jade C. Zaldivar/BOT)

Veep bet names Davao a 'yellow country'

   

By Ben O. Tesiorna

THE Liberal Party (LP) declared Davao City a "yellow country" after the overwhelming support of the Dabawenyos during its visit on Friday.

LP standard bearer Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino and running mate Mar Roxas, along with their senatorial line-up, went on a motorcade around the city proper. They proceeded to Marco Polo Hotel to meet with some businessmen.

Speaking before a crowd of about 10,000 people, Roxas said there's no doubt that they would win by a landslide in Davao City.

Majority of the Dabawenyo traders also expressed their support to Aquino and Roxas.

Simeon Marfori, president of Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc., said it is only the LP slate that has shown the "nobility of the intention" to implement the solutions to the various woes of the nation.

"Mahirap tapatan ang humility ni Noynoy," he said.

Meanwhile, City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte also said that Noynoy is a "principled man" and a "clean man."

The mayor recalled that when he was then a representative of Davao City in 1998, his colleagues in the Lower House were Manny Villar, who was the House Speaker, Mar Roxas, who was the majority floor leader, and Noynoy Aquino.

"Let us try a president that is as ordinary as we are. Let us try Noynoy, because he is an ordinary man like us… Simple at ordinary si Noynoy pagkakilala ko sa kanya sa Congress," Duterte told the crowd.

The baler identification cards distributed reached to 42,000 in Davao City on Friday alone, said Aquino.

The LP candidates also visited Davao del Sur Saturday, held a rally at the old terminal in Digos City and proceeded to Padada, Surallah and Marbel towns.

They also visited Tupi and Polomolok towns before going to General Santos City, where they held another motorcade and a press conference at the General Santos City International Airport before flying back to Manila.
