TAGBILARAN CITY—A peace rally in support of former President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte took place at Plaza Rizal in Tagbilaran City yesterday.
Protesters condemned what they described as the illegal arrest of Duterte on March 11, 2025.
Bohol has been recognized as a "Duterte country" in the Visayas, where he secured a victory in the 2016 elections.
In the 2022 elections, Sara Duterte garnered a record 594,000 votes in the province, while President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. received just over 500,000 out of the 949,791 total registered voters.
Many believed Marcos benefited from Sara’s popularity, which contributed to his win.
However, after a year in office, Marcos recorded a -8% trust rating in the province.
As of now, no elected official in Bohol has issued a statement regarding Duterte’s arrest.
