The fight ain't over yet: "tell President Rodrigo Duterte what Alvarez is up to" - Mayor Sara calls out to senators

Manila, Philippines – The fire is not over yet for Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, as she stepped up the attack on Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez on Friday.

The mayor urged the senators to speak up and expose the House leader’s alleged evil motives.

The feisty daughter of president Rodrigo Duterte made a call on her post in Instagram just after a day after she lambasted Alvarez over his negative comments about the newly formed group led by the younger Duterte.

The Hukbo ng Pagbabago (HNP) consisted the four Davao region’s provincial governors - Claude Bautista of Davao Occidental, Nelson Dayanghirang of Davao Oriental, Antonio Rafael del Rosario of Davao del Norte, and Jayvee Tyron Uy of Compostela Valley.

“Tell PRD kung ano ginagawa ni Alvarez sa inyo (tell President Rodrigo Duterte what Alvarez is up to). The only way the President will know is if you will speak up,” Mayor Sara said in her Instagram post on Friday including the photos of all 24 senators.

During the formal launch of HNP on Friday, the President’s daughter was adamant that Alvarez badmouthed her.

“He said I was acting alone. He said HNP is a product of political dynasties; that HNP does not have the approval of the President and as such, we are part of the opposition,” Mayor Sara said.

“Those things ignited [a fire in me] yesterday after I talked to the mayor who was in talks with him (Speaker).” She added

The Davao City mayor also accused the speaker of being thick-faced as she claimed that the latter was plotting to impeach the president.

Meanwhile, the mayor cleared that she has the blessing of her father in establishing the HNP.
