DUMAGUETE CITY – Supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte in Negros Oriental are ready for a grand rally on Thursday, Nov. 30, urging him to accept the challenge of declaring a revolutionary government.
Dumaguete City Mayor Felipe Remollo said the city has not prepared activities to commemorate November 30 as Andres Bonifacio Day. But he confirmed certain groups are ready for the grand rally as part of an information dissemination and education campaign on what federalism is all about.
Remollo was invited to be one of the speakers to lecture about federalism at the Quezon Park but said he had to attend to a prior commitment in Cebu, to follow up the bridge project that connects Sibulan in Negros Oriental to Liloan in Santander, Cebu and the other bridge, which is from Mactan to Bohol and Bohol to Maasin, Leyte.
In the meantime, the rally organizers expect a sizeable number of participants coming from various municipalities to support calls for the President to accept the challenge or the sovereign grant of the people for him to declare a revolutionary government.
Atty. Joel Obar, one of the leaders, as founder and national chairman of the People’s Solidarity Federal Party, in the quest for change and reconfiguration of the present set up of government, has enjoined everybody to join the historic gathering on Nov. 30.
He said proclamations to grant the President revolutionary powers will be simultaneously read from different rally sites all over the country with Mendiola Bridge in Metro Manila as the center.
He assured this is going to be a peaceful revolution 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 and he would only accept the sovereign grant to declare the same. (PNA)
