Lagdameo defends admin proclamation rally in Davao, calls it a sign of unity
Special Assistant to the President Anton Lagdameo asserted that the administration's rally in Davao del Norte was a symbol of unity and rekindled alliances, not a political maneuver.
The event in Carmen, Davao del Norte, launched the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas, the administration's senatorial slate for the May elections.
Lagdameo stated the rally, attended by about 30,000 people, was a demonstration of democracy and a rekindling of decade-long friendships.
He clarified it was not a show of force but an effort to rekindle the alliance between President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s family and key political figures in the province.
The choice to start the campaign in Mindanao was a deliberate nod to its historical significance and the administration's commitment to its economic growth, particularly in the banana industry.
