00:00
More than 41,000 candidates vying for over 18,000 local positions officially start campaigning
00:07
Friday, March 28.
00:09
The 45-day local campaign period for the 2025 midterm elections is taking place against
00:15
the backdrop of a political war between the Marcoses and the Dutertes.
00:19
With former President Rodrigo Duterte detained at the International Criminal Court in The
00:23
Hague and his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, facing an impeachment trial under
00:27
the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos Jr., theirs is a feud with wide-ranging implications for
00:32
local races and beyond.
00:34
In Manila, an OCTA survey shows Isko Moreno enjoys a majority lead over his rivals, including
00:40
former ally Manila Mayor Hani Lacuna.
00:43
In Marikina, broken alliances shape the local race, with the Trudoros and Quimbos vying
00:48
for the top local posts.
00:50
In Pasig, the rivalry is shaping up to be good governance versus big business, with
00:55
Vico Soto seeking to win his third and last term versus candidate Sara Descaya, the owner
01:00
of a construction company.
01:02
In Laguna, the issue of health care was front and center, as gubernatorial candidates in
01:07
Laguna courted voters.
01:09
The race includes three candidates, Ruth Hernandez, Dan Fernandez, and Karen Agapay, whose parties
01:15
are in a coalition under Marcos Alianza, with only Sol Aragones as the unaffiliated candidate.
01:22
In Naga City, pink sets the tone for the proclamation rally of former Vice President
01:26
and Naga City mayoral candidate Lenny Robredo.
01:29
In Bacolod, the P6.5 billion peso loan of Mayor Albie Benitez's administration emerges
01:35
as a major election issue.
01:37
In Capiz, Paulo Rojas, son of former Interior Secretary Mar Rojas, who is running for the
01:42
1st District, leads the One Capiz coalition as it kicks off its local election campaign
01:48
with a caravan across Rojas City.
01:50
And in Davao City, hometown of the Dutertes, instead of local campaigns, the birthday of
01:56
the former president dominates the scene and almost fills up two major roads.
