Sebastian “Basti” Duterte says his father, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo, will lead the country to real change if elected president. Basti was in Cebu last February 24 to pitch in for the Cebu campaign.

“I’m supporting my father’s presidential candidacy bid not because I’m his son but I believe that he is the candidate with the best platform,” he said in an interview.

Representatives from various sectors were present during the press conference at Isidra Comfort Cantina.

Dr. Rowena Burden of Doctors for Duterte, which is a subgroup of Cebu for Duterte, said she and her co-members volunteered campaign for Mayor Duterte saying the tough-talking Davao mayor will introduce genuine change in the country. Burden said free health care will be attainable under a Duterte administration because taxes will be efficiently used. Mark Anthony Cuizon, president of PAMCC-AGLO or Panaghiusa sa Mamumuo sa Carmen Copper and a representative of the labor sector, expressed his support for Duterte saying he will end contractualization in the country. Bee Urgello, a transgender and a representative of the LGBT community, also expressed her support for Duterte saying he will foster genuine respect to the LGBT community and promote equality among Filipinos.
