Fuming Baste tags Marcos an ingrate: Davao erupts in protest
Davao City Mayor Sebastian "Baste" Duterte cursed President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. for allegedly handing his father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, to his jailors.
The younger Duterte directed his outburst at Marcos during the 88th Araw ng Dabaw celebration, where 20,000 people turned the event into a walk of protest.
He accused Marcos of being an ingrate, referencing former President Duterte's decision to allow the burial of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
Mayor Duterte vowed that his family and supporters would "stand up" and "fight back" against what they perceived as the illegal arrest of his father.
He also stated that President Marcos Jr. would never win the affection of Duterte supporters, claiming the Marcos family name is synonymous with Martial Law and oppression.
The mayor further asserted that beyond government resources and his term, President Marcos Jr. is "nothing."
