Marcos is in Cabanatuan, and will head to San Fernando, Pampanga later, part of a targeting of Central Luzon with 7.28 million voters or 11% of total voting population. Unlike Calabarzon, Marcos has wider comfort room here in CL, 66-13 vs Robredo in survey. | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan Sky threatening to rain over Cabanatuan City, which just moments ago, was sweltering hot. Senatorial bets of Uniteam speaking at the moment. This Nueva Ecija visit is an avenging of sorts, last rally in province had an unimpressive crowd whereas Robredo gathered 50k. | @lianbuan
Senator Migz Zubiri, dropped earlier from Robredo slate, repeats here in Cabanatuan: Magkaisa na po tayo, tama na ang bangayan, hindi tulad ng ibang grupo panira nang panira. Sa darating na May 9, BBM na ang presidente. | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan Sara Duterte skips the Cabanatuan rally. The Josons, Cuevases, and Vergaras are the hosts here. Gubernatorial bet Rianne Cuevas is endorsing Marcos, more categorically now. Cuevas is running vs incumbent gov Aurelio Umali who had welcomed Marcos on two occasions here. | @lianbuan
Buses owned by the LGU of Gapan are among the vehicles which ferried supporters here in Marcos' Cabanatuan rally. | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan We also spot several vehicles of the City Government of Tarlac here in San Fernando, Pampanga as we near Robinsons Starmill for the Uniteam grand rally. One vehicle is right beside a bus with a Uniteam poster. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan Massive crowd here in Robinson Starmills for the Uniteam rally, the same venue of VP Robredo's rally. More people are outside and spilling over to the roads. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @lianbuan

@lianbuan Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte arrive in the Uniteam rally in Robinson Starmills, Pampanga. Former president Gloria Arroyo is also present in the rally. Pampanga is Arroyo's bailiwick. #PHVote #WeDecide

📷 Sara Duterte/Facebook
@lianbuan Even though he already dropped out of the Senate race, former representative Rodante Marcoleta is here on stage speaking saying he still supports Uniteam. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan LOOK: Former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo here on stage for the first Pampanga grand rally of Uniteam. The ruling Pinedas also support Uniteam. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan Marcos now in San Fernando. Why is Pampanga important? It has 1.5 million voters, and a province he won in 2016. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan Marcos brings his son Vincent to San Fernando, Pampanga. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan Arroyo introducing Marcos: Sa ngalan ni Gov Delta Pineda, Vice Gov Baby Pineda, apat na congressman, at 20 mayors, eto na po ang susunod na Pangulo ng Republika ng Pilipinas, Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan Mayor Sara Duterte's sortie style has always been to campaign for the senators more than for her and Marcos. In homestretch, she says: Kung sinasabi niyong panalo na kami, ipanalo rin natin ang 11 na senador. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @lianbuan
After his CNN interview, we managed to get close to Bongbong Marcos to ask him if we can shoot questions seeing that he claims he's not difficult to interview. We got nowhere. | via @lianbuan #PHVote #WeDecide #PHVoteMarcos
@lianbuan It's faint sound but you can hear TV5's @mariannenriquez asking Marcos: 'If you get elected what would you do to your P203B estate tax.' That also went unanswered as they took Marcos to a tent, before going out again after a few minutes to go to his car.
@lianbuan @mariannenriquez After the rally backstage, Marcos confers with lawyer Estelito Mendoza and Gloria Arroyo. Mendoza, the dictator's solicitor general, got Arroyo acquitted of plunder and is representing Marcos in a petition to cancel COC pending at Comelec en banc. | @lianbuan #PHVote #WeDecide
@lianbuan @mariannenriquez LAST NIGHT: In San Fernando, Marcos read a placard that said, "Excited na ako pumuntang EDSA para sa victory party."

"Sa EDSA ba tayo?" Marcos said grinning.

EDSA was the venue of the people power revolt that toppled his dictator father. | via @lianbuan #PHVote #WeDecide

NOW: Rappler’s @piaranada talks with political scientist @CleveArguelles on what went wrong in presidential bet Isko Moreno’s campaign and how they can fix it. #PHVote #WeDecide

Watch this #RapplerTalk interview here:
@piaranada @CleveArguelles .@CleveArguelles: My personal assessment is they stopped believing in what could have been their campaign message. #RapplerTalk
@piaranada @CleveArguelles .@CleveArguelles: When Isko declared his candidacy, they were trying to position him as a centrist alternative candidate who doesn’t want to be involved in partisan politics, who would rather focus on pandemic recovery and social services. There was a lot of potential there.

Asked if DOJ will consider motu proprio investigation into law enforcement who allegedly coerced Kerwin Espinosa, Justice Sec Menardo Guevarra shifts the scrutiny on Kerwin: "We will determine that when he faces perjury charges." | via @lianbuan

rplr.co/nation
@lianbuan Will DOJ pursue perjury charges vs Kerwin? Guevarra says: "I will discuss this matter with the panel of prosecutors. whether or not his testimony is material to the prosecution’s cause, making false statements under oath is a criminal offense." | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan In 2017, when DOJ charged De Lima for 3 counts, it dismissed the complaint against De Lima and Kerwin Espinosa "for lack of merit." In that junked complaint, Kerwin says he paid De Lima through Dayan. Yet for the 2021 case vs Kerwin, the basis is again his Senate testimony.
