00:36The rally was held by the group following their announcement last December
00:40that they supported the position of President Bongbong Marcos
00:43that he did not agree with the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:48Three impeachment complaints were filed in the House of Representatives against Vice President Duterte.
00:53They are the only ones who said that this cannot be a political rally.
01:00So, absolutely, any politician cannot participate.
