Pro-Duterte group holds grand rally for revolutionary government

Supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte in Negros Oriental is holding today a grand rally urging him to accept the challenge of declaring a revolutionary government in the country.

Dumaguete City Mayor Felipe Remollo said the city has not prepared activities to commemorate November 30 as Andres Bonifacio Day. He however confirmed that certain groups are staging a rally, as part of the information and education campaign on what federalism is all about.

Remollo was invited to be one of the speakers in the rally, to lecture about federalism, at the city’s Quezon Park, but he declined as he will attend a prior commitment in Cebu, to follow up the bridge project that will connect Sibulan in Negros Oriental to Liloan in Santander, Cebu, as well as the other bridges, from Mactan to Bohol and from Bohol to Maasin City in Southern Leyte.

The network revolution group expects a sizeable number of participants coming from the towns to support calls for Duterte to accept the challenge for him to declare a revolutionary government.

Lawyer Joel Obar, one of the rally leaders— as founder and national chairman of the Peoples Solidarity Federal Party, in the quest for change and reconfiguration of the present setup of government— had enjoined everybody to join the ‘historic celebration’ today, November 30.

Obar said proclamations to grant the president revolutionary powers will be simultaneously read from different rally sites all over the country with Mendiola Bridge in Manila as the center. He assured this is going to be a peaceful revolution, reiterating that this is not for the next election but for the next generation.

Obar made it clear, there is no question about constitutionality because it is not the president who will declare a revolutionary government but for latter only to accept the sovereign grant to declare the same.
