Cotabateños warmly received the grand rally of Presidential candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr, and his running mate Vice Presidential candidate Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio’s UniTeam at Carmen Municipal Hall in Carmen, Province of Cotabato on Monday led by Vice Governor Emmylou Lala Taliño-Mendoza.
Marcos and Duterte were joined during the rally that drew a massive crowd by UniTeam senatoriables Senator Win Gatchalian, Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro, Sen. Migz Zubiri, Robin Padilla, Herbert Bautista, former senator Jinggoy Estrada and former Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque.
Also present were TUCP partylist Representative Raymond Mendoza, Cotabato Province 3rd District Representative bet Samantha Taliño-Santos and the whole “Serbisyong Totoo” team.
Based on the number of attendees, Carmen is considered as the bailiwick of the UniTeam.
Marcos thanked the crowd and the officials for the warm welcome extended to the UniTeam.
“Maraming salamat sa mainit na salubong na binigya ninyo sa Uniteam. Alam ko marami sa inyi naghintay kanina pang umaga. Nakakatuwa na makita kayong lahat. Kami ni Mayor Sara ay matagal ng umiikot sa buong Pilipinas para ikalat ang mensahe ng UniTeam, ang adhikain ng pagkakaisa,” Marcos said.
After the Carmen sortie, the UniTeam then proceeded to Maguindanao and Sultan Kudarat provinces for two more proclamation rallies.
Mendoza has been an avid supporter of the BBM-Sara tandem. Like the Uniteam, she is advocating for unity and service to the Filipinos. She is also campaigning for continued service for the upliftment of the lives of the Cotabateños through her “Serbisyong Totoo” program.
