Thousands of Pantukeños gathered in Pantukan, Davao de Oro on the evening of May 4 to witness the heartfelt message of Noe “Butchoy” Taojo during his Miting de Avance.
With loud cheers from the crowd, Butchoy declared that regardless of the election’s outcome, he will continue serving—especially the poor, the Lumad, and students.
“Makalingkod man ko o dili, ipadayon gihapon nako ang mga programa nga akong nasugdan. Labaw sa tanan, ipadayon nako ang suporta sa mga Lumad ug sa mga estudyante,” he said, drawing emotional reactions from supporters.
He explained that his reason for entering politics is rooted in a deeper purpose—to help foster unity and peace throughout the province.
“Dugay na ta nga nagtabang bisan wala pa ta sa politika. Mao nga nisulod ko sa politika aron maghiusa ang tanang lider sa probinsya,” he added.
A known philanthropist even before his candidacy, Butchoy reiterated his unwavering commitment to continue his outreach and aid to communities—win or lose.
“Maningkamot ko nga makadaug og boto sa Pantukan. Ang akong gihimo, para gyud sa katawhan,” he emphasized.
He was joined by Congressman Ruwel Peter Gonzaga, who is running for governor, and Governor Dorothy “Dotdot” Gonzaga, who is running for vice governor. Taojo expressed his confidence that their alliance will bring renewed hope and effective leadership to the province.
“Kabalo man mo gamay ra ni akong istorya — trabaho lang ko,” Taojo concluded, earning a wave of applause from the energized crowd.
