Bongbong Marcos' rally brings back memories of the 1986 snap elections when his late father and namesake Ferdinand E. Marcos campaigned in Cagayan de Oro for the last time before the family was forced into exile. PHVote WeDecide
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines – Presidential candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. led his Uniteam ticket in a rally in Cagayan de Oro on Tuesday, April 26, at the exact place where his late father last campaigned for reelection in the city shortly before a popular revolt forced their family out of Malacanang and go into exile 36 years ago.
Despite this, Moreno gave the Uniteam ticket a special permit to hold the rally until 11 pm, and ordered streets near the Misamis Oriental Integrated Sports Complex closed to vehicular traffic. The Marcos-led rally on Tuesday brought back memories of the 1986 snap elections when his late father and namesake Ferdinand E. Marcos campaigned in Cagayan de Oro for reelection against another widow, the late president Corazon Aquino.
Marcos Jr. has also found an ally in Misamis Oriental Governor Yevgeny Vincente Emano whose late father Vicente rose to power and established a political dynasty after being appointed officer-in-charge of the provincial government after the 1986 EDSA revolt. Police Lieutenant Colonel Surki Serenas, however, said the Tactical Operations Center of the Cagayan de Oro City police only placed the crowd at 70,000 as of 7 pm.
