Parañaque rally crowd would have been 50K-strong, says Marcos campaign manager Abalos
The grand rally of the Uniteam, supporting presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. and vice-presidential bet Sara Duterte, was cut short due to heavy rain and technical difficulties.
Thousands of supporters gathered at the Aseana City in Parañaque City for the rally that was supposed to start in the afternoon.
The event experienced power outages and a complete failure of the sound system, with an expected crowd of up to 50,000.
Marcos' national campaign manager, Benhur Abalos Jr., eventually advised the crowd to disperse for their safety due to the worsening weather conditions.
Abalos promised that they would return to Parañaque City.
