Sara Duterte raises hands of both mayoral candidates of Pasay City

ELECTION 2019

Davao City Mayor and Presidential daughter Sara Duterte created an online debate between supporters of both mayoralty bets for the City of Pasay when she raised both Emi Calixto-Rubiano and Chet Cuneta’s hands.

In a Facebook post on November 9, Rubiano, the incumbent congresswoman if Pasay City posted a picture where the mayor and the leader of the regional party Hugpong ng Pagababago, was raising her hand.

On November 10, the megastar Sharon Cuneta posted on Instagram her pictures with brother Chet and Sara, and one of the photos showed Sara raising the hand of Chet with a signed note that read, “Si Chet Cuneta po ang tunay na mayor natin sa Pasay City.” 

In Philippine politics, raising the hands of candidates means giving support and endorsement of influential personalities.
