(Eagle News)–President Rodrigo Duterte was unable to attend the PDP-Laban campaign rally in Marawi due to bad weather, the party said.
According to Ron Munsayac, PDP-Laban spokesperson, Duterte’s helicopter “wasn’t given clearance to take off from Davao City.”
Munsayac said despite Duterte’s absence, “we can still consider the Marawi City rally a successful one since most of the party’s senatoriables were able to personally meet and deliver their messages to our partymates, leaders, and supporters” there.
“I just spoke with the President’s Appointments Office, and we will try to get another schedule for PRRD to visit our candidates and leaders in Lanao del Sur,” Munsayac said.
“We are still on track and will be seeing everyone tomorrow 1 p.m in Malaybalay, Bukidnon,” Munsayac added.
