Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio confirmed there is no BBM-Sara UniTeam that will be held in Davao City.
“For Davao City nag refuse nako nga mag rally dinha,” Mayor Sara said on Monday.
The mayor invited Dabawenyos to attend the UniTeam scheduled rallies in various areas in Davao Region.
“Sa mga taga Davao City, gina-awhag ta mo nga mutambong na lang sa rally nato sa laing lugar dinha sa Region 11,” she said.
On Wednesday, March 30, 2022 the BBM-Sara UniTeam will do their rounds in Davao Region, a bailiwick of the Dutertes. First stop is a rally in Carmen, Davao del Norte to be followed by another rally in Pantukan, Davao de Oro and end their day with another rally in Digos, Davao del Sur.
On March 29, 2022, the UniTeam of presidential bet Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Mayor Sara flew to visiting Zamboanga wherein a grand caravan is scheduled from the Zamboanga City airport to RT Lim Boulevard to the city hall then to UZ Summit Center where the grand rally will be held.
The grand rally is expected to draw about 15,000 supporters inside the venue with 5,000 more to be accommodated outside. The entire activity from the motorcade to the grand rally meanwhile could easily attract 80,000 to 100,000 Zamboangeños come Tuesday morning.
The BBM-Sara UniTeam started its Mindanao sortie on March 27, 2022 in the towns of Polomolok, Tupi, and Koronadal in South Cotabato attending two proclamation rallies in the said province.
It was likewise reported that more than 300 physicians from the General Santos City area and neighboring provinces declared their support for former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. for president and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio for vice president in the May 9, 2022 election.
On Monday, March 28, the UniTeam candidates paid a courtesy call on Cotabato Province Governor Nancy Catamco before proceeding to Carmen town for a grand rally together with Vice Governor Lala Taliño-Mendoza. After Carmen, the team then proceeded to Maguindanao and Sultan Kudarat provinces for two more proclamation rallies.
It can be recalled that Mayor Sara banned campaign motorcades and caravans in Davao City through Executive Order No 10, series of 2022 on Monday, March 7, 2022 stating that the city partially adopted the Commission on Elections (Comelec) resolution setting rules for face-to-face campaigning. The EO states Section 16 of Comelec Resolution No. 10732 – or the section on caravans and motorcades – would not be implemented.
The mayor explained that the banning of motorcades in Davao City is due to the increasing fuel prices, among others.
