Duterte rallies for senatorial bets, criticizes Marcos on inflation

Former President Rodrigo Duterte launched his endorsed senatorial candidates' midterm campaign at Club Filipino in San Juan City on Thursday, February 8th.

He criticized incumbent President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.'s handling of inflation and promised alternatives to the administration's policies.

The rally focused on key issues like food security, employment, and criminality, with Duterte positioning his slate as a solution to what he perceives as Marcos’s shortcomings.

Despite his daughter Sara Duterte-Carpio facing impeachment proceedings, Rodrigo did not mention it during his speech but his candidates highlighted its significance for the elections.
