The coalition’s campaign manager Navotas Representative Toby Tiangco said at around 2:27 pm, Friday, April 25 — or a few minutes before candidates’ call time at the rally site in Dagupan, Pangasinan — a staff member of Villar informed the slate’s group that she wouldn’t be able to make it because she wasn’t feeling well. But her absence — even if it is because she’s sick — piques the interest of more than a handful of people because days before the sortie in Pangasinan, Villar released a campaign ad featuring Vice President Sara Duterte, the erstwhile ally of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., chief campaigner of the Alyansa slate. The first time Villar had to beg off from a sortie because she was sick was on March 15 in Tacloban City, or the first Alyansa campaign rally after the Marcos administration arrested Vice President Duterte’s father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, then turned him over to the International Criminal Court. (Every endorsement that an Alyansa candidate gets is proof of the approval and acceptance of our President’s Bagong Pilipinas.) Yet an endorsement from Vice President Duterte is anything but approval and acceptance of President Marcos or his Bagong Pilipinas.
