DAVAO CITY — Presidential daughter and City Mayor Sara Duterte asked her supporters not to hold "campouts" and gatherings outside the Commission on Election office.
"Sa lahat ng aking mga taga-suporta, pati na po sa mga miyembro ng media -nakikiusap po ako sa inyo na sana ay huwag na kayong mag-camp-out sa labas ng Comelec (To all my supporters and the members of the media - I appeal to you to avoid holding campouts outside the Comelec)," Duterte said in a statement on Friday.
"Hindi na kailangan mag-camp-out pa dahil meron pang pandemya at ayoko kayong magkasakit (You don't need to camp-out because we are in a pandemic and I wouldn't want you to get sick)," she added.
"Isipin nyo rin po sana ang kalagayan ng inyong mga pamilya (I hope you will also think about your families)," Duterte said.
Duterte, who was recently sworn in as member of Lakas-CMD in Silang, Cavite on Thursday, added that she is back in Davao City.
"Nakikiusap din ako sa mga nasa probinsiya na huwag kayo bumiyahe papunta Manila nandito lang po ako sa Davao City dahil sa sunod-sunod na pag-ulan at pagbaha (I also appeal to those who are from the provinces to avoid going to Manila, I am here in Davao City because of the rains and flooding)," Duterte added.
She expressed admiration for the dedication of her supporters and the media for their hard work.
"Magbibigay po ang mga spokesperson ng opisyal na pahayag, magbibigay po ng mga picture at video para sa inyo lahat (Our spokespersons will release an official statement, photos and videos)," she added.
