Campaigns

Leni Robredo (Independent)

edit

On February 8, a caravan started in Eastern Samar, with thousands of people joining, including mayors and vice mayors in Eastern Samar.[2] On February 10, eight mayors, two vice mayors, and one councilor supported Leni Robredo in the Kakampink headquarters in Borongan, Eastern Samar.[3] On March 29, 19 mayors out of the 23 total mayors of the province joined Ben Evardone to support Leni Robredo just after the local campaign rally in Baybay Boulevard. Congresswoman Maria Fe Abunda and Boy Abunda also supported Robredo, with the latter praising her for her anti-poverty efforts.[4] Some controversy was made when Ben Evardone supported Leni Robredo, since Evardone was the vice president of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino party in the Visayas, though the leader of the party supported rival Sara Duterte and Bongbong Marcos.[1][5]

Bongbong Marcos (Partido Federal ng Pilipinas)

edit

On April 9, a rally was held for Bongbong Marcos in Eastern Samar. Marcos allegedly ignored his pilot's instruction coming to Samar because of bad weather, stating that "When it rains, it should get cooler. But here in Borongan, when it rains, it gets warmer". The rally was held in Borongan Plaza.[6] During the show, a 95-year-old fan named Alejandro Duzon gained an honorable mention in the rally. Marcos stated that he was a "very important person" and "loyalist".[7] Senator Ronald dela Rosa was Marcos's campaign manager in Eastern Visayas.[8]

Other campaigns

edit

Manny Pacquiao visited Eastern Samar on April 27.[9][10] Isko Moreno also visited Eastern Samar, promising funding for the Samar provinces.[11]
