Pro-Duterte forces eye Guinness records
A global movement is organizing a prayer rally for former President Rodrigo Duterte's 80th birthday on March 28, aiming to set a Guinness World Record for the largest spontaneous peaceful and prayer rally in history.
The worldwide, synchronized event is planned as a 12- or 24-hour non-stop demonstration, with participants joining from various countries and time zones to convey a message of solidarity.
Organizers believe the rally has the potential to gather millions of people, especially leveraging the large overseas Filipino worker (OFW) population.
The rally's significance is amplified by Duterte's ongoing legal challenges, including his custody by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.
Recent rallies indicate that Duterte maintains a strong and loyal base of support, with many OFWs having been directly impacted by his leadership.
