Duterte endorses 2 opposing politicians for Zambo mayoralty race
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.

HNP officer clarifies endorsement of local candidates
DAVAO CITY – Unless "explicitly stated," candidates in the 2019 midterms election may not assume they have been endorsed by Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP), a regional party co-founded by Mayor Sara Z. Duterte.
Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte and Zamboanga Rep. Celso Lobregat.
This was the advice given by HNP-Davao political officer Jeffrey Tupas, amid a flurry of claims by candidates that they have already secured HNP's endorsement through Mayor Sara. One such claim was made by Zamboanga City 1st district Rep. Celso Lobregat, of the Partido ng Demokratikong Pilipino-Lakas ng Bansa (PDP-Laban).
According to Lobregat, the endorsement was made during a “luncheon meeting by invitation” on November 9 in a restaurant in Quezon City. The lawmaker said several senatorial candidates and other HNP officials were present during the event.
A news item about the purported article was even published on a local paper in Zamboanga City, in which Lobregat was quoted expressing his gratitude to Sara for the supposed endorsement. The news item even had an accompanying photo with Sara raising the hand of Lobregat.
But Tupas said he can't recall that Sara endorsed Lobregat, and that the lawmaker may have made too much out of the photo opportunity. “I don’t know how a photo can be misconstrued as an endorsement. I believe until it was and explicitly stated that HNP or Mayor Sara has endorsed a candidate can we really say an endorsement has been made,” said Tupas, who is also City Hall's chief information officer.
Sara is not a member of any national political party, including the PDP-Laban, of which President Rodrigo Duterte is the national chairman.
Even Lobregat's main opponent, incumbent Zamboanga Mayor Maria Isabelle Climaco-Salazar, of the Liberal Party, made light of Lobregat's supposed endorsement from HNP. “It seems that the congressman has endorsed Mayor Sara Duterte. It seems it's the other way around,” Salazar said. (Lilian C. Mellejor/PNA)
