ZAMBOANGA CITY – President Rodrigo Duterte has endorsed two politicians for the mayoralty race here – the incumbent and re-electionist Mayor Beng Climaco, and Rep. Celso Lobregat who were former allies and now bitter political foes.
Duterte was in Zamboanga City late Sunday where he campaigned for his PDP-Laban’s senatorial candidates, but before this, the president met with Climaco during a security meeting at the Philippine Air Force base here where he raised the mayor’s hand.
After the meeting, Duterte proceeded to a coliseum here where senatorial candidates took turn in explaining to the crowds their advocacy and platform of government should they win the May polls.
It was during the campaign that Duterte told Lobregat, who heads the local PDP-Laban party, that he met with Climaco at the military base, but cut short in saying that he endorsed the mayor.
A photo of Duterte raising the hand of Climaco appeared on the mayor’s Facebook account before dawn Monday.

Lobregat, who supported Duterte’s rival Mar Roxas, of the Liberal party, in the 2016 presidential election, has joined the president’s political party after Duterte won the polls. Climaco belongs to the Liberal party up to now, but said she is supporting the administration of Duterte. (Mindanao Examiner)
