In their desire to see Inday Sara Duterte, daughter of presidential aspirant Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, three members of a Southern Leyte youth group traveled five hours to catch up with the campaign’s caravan in Tacloban City.
Lanjito Maturan, Rhaquel Sida and Jacksen Sobrio of the Youth for Duterte movement woke up before dusk on Saturday just so they can catch a van from Liloan, Southern Leyte to Tacloban City, the final stop of the Byaheng Du30 caravan.
The three youths traveled for five hours and waited eight hours more just to take “selfies” with Inday Sara.
Sida said she cried when she found out that the bus passed her town without her knowing it. She really wanted to see Inday Sara so she urged Sobrio to go with her.
Another friend heard of their plan and decided to tag along.
“I wanted to see Inday Sara so bad so I asked permission from my parents if I can go with my friends. They said yes, so I went,” Maturan said.
The three friends were finally able to take a picture with Inday Sara when the caravan stopped for dinner. They also had their picture taken with the Byaheng Du30 bus.
The caravan is now on its third day of the Visayas leg of the trip. It will go around the Visayas to campaign for Mayor Duterte.
It is led by Inday Sara and her mother Elizabeth Zimmerman, who was the former wife of Mayor Duterte.
