PNP releases videos showing Duterte supporters allegedly being paid to gather at EDSA Shrine

On Wednesday, the Philippine National Police (PNP) presented videos showing supporters of Vice President Sara Duterte allegedly being transported from their barangays and paid to gather at the EDSA Shrine.

According to PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo, a logbook exists detailing those who received payment, with promises of P500 but some reportedly only getting P200, though supporters refute these claims.

Fajardo noted that videos show supporters being transported from their barangays and promised compensation for attending the gathering, though she did not confirm the authenticity of these reports.

As of Wednesday morning, about 100 Duterte supporters remained at the EDSA Shrine, allowed in by management under certain conditions, including no overnight stays or protest actions inside the chapel.

Some supporters set up makeshift beds along the street as they stayed for more than 24 hours and conducted a program until 1 a.m. to show support.

EDSA Shrine rector Rev. Jerome Secillano advised churchgoers to maintain proper decorum and avoid disruptive behavior within the place of worship, noting that some were eating inside the church and sleeping on the streets.
