THE PHILIPPINES’ top three presidential frontrunners visited the Visayas island this week, as they tried to woo more voters less than three weeks beforeVice-President Maria Leonor “Leni” G. Robredo on Thursday held campaign rallies in three big cities in vote-rich Cebu province, whose governor had pledged a landslide victory for the son and namesake of the late dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos.
The provinces of Cebu, Negros Occidental and Iloilo in the Visayas have a total of 6.8 million voters, according to Commission on Elections data. The dictator’s son, Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos, Jr., visited Cebu City, whose governor Gwendolyn F. Garcia estimated more than a million votes more for him compared with his closest rival in the May 9 election.
Presidential candidates are expected to intensify their campaigns on various fronts, whether through large rallies or from house to house, said Maria Ela L. Atienza, a political science professor from the University of the Philippines . Ms. Atienza said Mr. Domagoso might use the remaining days to get media attention and increase his exposure. “Whether this works or not is something that will unfold later.”
