Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte and presidential aspirant Ferdinand Marcos Jr. were both in Cebu City on Friday but spokespersons of both politicians said no meeting transpired between the two.
“No, tonight no. But both of them are there,” Marcos’ spokesman Rodriguez told GMA News Online when asked the same question.
Asked if Duterte will meet Marcos in Cebu, Frasco said, “I invited Mayor Sara to attend the inauguration of our new Port in Liloan and to attend our League of Municipalities of the Philippines Cebu General Assembly.”
“This is her official schedule,” she added.
In a Facebook post, Sara announced that she arrived in Cebu City and shared photos of her wearing a green hoodie with the phrase “Sara All 2022.”
[Good evening to all. My visit to Cebu was confirmed. I am now talking to my cousin Cebu 5th District Board Member Red Duterte. Thank you.]

Lawyer Victor Rodriguez, Marcos’ chief of staff, confirmed that both of them did not hold a meeting on Friday night.
