Pinalagan ni Liloan Mayor Cristina Garcia-Frasco ang tahasang pagtawag ni Vice Presidential candidate Walden Bello bilang duwag sa BBM-Sara tandem sa naganap na CNN Presidential debate noong Linggo.
Para kay Garcia-Frasco, nananatiling “discretion” ng bawat kandidato ang paunlakan ang mga imbitasyon ng debate.
“It is also within a candidate’s discretion to limit his exposure to tweets and soundbytes only, as Walden Bello has done, or to have direct and personal engagement with the people, as Mayor Sara has shown this entire campaign season,” ani Garia-Frasco sa isang mahabang Facebook post, gabi ng Lunes, Pebrero 28.
Depensa ng alkalde, nabisita ni Vice Presidential aspirant at Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte-Carpio ang nasa 70 lungsod, bayan, lalawigan, isla sa loob ng dalawang buwan kung saan nakadaupang-palad nito ang taumbayan.

“Far from the convenience of preaching platitudes from the pulpit, Mayor Sara has visited 70 cities, towns, islands, provinces, in less than 2 months, speaking directly to the people, listening to their problems, bringing aid where needed most, proving herself an accountable, transparent, and dependable national figure as early as now,” ani Garcia-Frasco.
Dagdag ng alkalde, taglay ni Inday Sara ang “exceptional work ethic” na bitbit niya sa kanyang kampanya.
“When Mayor Sara steps down as Mayor on June 30, she will have left Davao City debt-free, the 4th Most Competitive City in the Philippines, and the 7th richest City in the country,” patuloy na saad ng alkalde.
Ayon pa sa Cebu mayor, sa loob ng halos limang taong panunungkulan ni Inday Sara bilang alkalde ng Davao, naiuwi ng lungsod ang “118 awards, citations, and recognitions.”
“In 2020, Davao City was awarded the Best City Police Office in the Philippines. Most recently, the DSWD awarded Davao the 2021 Gawad Paglilingkod sa Sambayanan (GAPAS) Award naming it the Best LGU implementing the Daycare Service,” dagdag na resibo ni Garcia Frasco.
Higit sa “lip service” ni Walden Bello, naniniwala si Garcia-Frasco na resulta ng pagsisikap ni Sara ang tinatamasang payapa at maunlad na pamumuhay ng mga taga-Davao.
Una nang tumangging magkomento si Inday Sara sa isyu.
“May reason ako but I do not want to say it to the public… It is an ongoing discussion with the team. We will come up with a statement… It is something personal and I do not want to say it publicly. As of the moment, there is no comment,” ani Inday Sara sa isang press conference sa Davao, hapon ng Lunes.
