CEBU CITY, Philippines – Much is at stake in the local campaigns in the country’s most vote-rich province of Cebu, which kicked off on Friday, March 25.
After the Mass, Rama told the media that he wishes for a peaceful campaign period and urged supporters to “cool their heads” to prevent election violence. On the topic of election violence, Margot Osmeña, Rama’s rival for mayor, said she hopes that the election would be more peaceful this time around.“We pray, of course, that it would not happen again and that the true will of the people will prevail. We signed a peace covenant and hopefully, we keep our words,” Margot said in a mix of English and Cebuano after her group attended an opening salvo Mass at the Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe de Cebu.
Last Tuesday, March 22, local candidates signed a peace covenant at the Cebu Provincial Police Office headquarters, promising not to use violence during the election period.Meanwhile, incumbent Governor Gwen Garcia launched her campaign in Barili town, in southern Cebu province, considered a bailiwick of the political clan.
