TACLOBAN CITY, Philippines – Due to severe weather in Eastern Visayas, presidential candidate Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s rally in Maasin City, Southern Leyte was canceled on Saturday.

Marcos apologized to supporters who had been waiting since before sunrise in a video message to thousands of supporters at the Maasin City terminal.

“I’m in Tacloban, and it’s pouring heavily.” Our pilot advised that continuing our journey to Southern Leyte was extremely dangerous. Thank you so much for your help. On other days, we’ll find a way to visit Southern Leyte,” Marcos remarked.

On Saturday morning, Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 was issued across Eastern Samar and certain Mindanao provinces as a low-pressure region east of Eastern Samar strengthened into a tropical depression.

The core of Tropical Depression Agaton was last detected 130 kilometers east southeast of Guiuan, Eastern Samar, early the same day, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration.

For the event, voters from several towns gathered at the city terminal area.

Local politicians, led by Governor Damian Mercado, had previously indicated support for Marcos and his vice presidential running mate, Sara Duterte.

President Rodrigo Duterte was born in the city of Maasin. Marcos was supposed to speak to the crowd around 8:30 a.m.

His other commitments include a demonstration in Baybay City, Leyte, at 10:45 a.m., and a rally in Ormoc City at 2:00 p.m.

Tacloban City will host a large gathering on Saturday night.

His bailiwick includes the city, which is the hometown of her mother, former First Lady Imelda Marcos.

His first cousins are Tacloban Mayor Alfred Romualdez and Leyte First District Representative Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.

Marcos spoke in rallies in Catarman, Northern Samar; Borongan, Eastern Samar; Catbalogan, Samar; and Naval, Biliran on Friday.

He arrived at Catarman town shortly after 8 a.m. and proceeded to the University of Eastern Philippines Grandstand, where he was greeted by approximately 7,000 people.

Marcos received the endorsement of Northern Samar 2nd District Rep. Jose Ong in a province where most local government leaders have declared support for Vice President Leni Robredo.

Thousands of supporters flocked to the city plaza in Borongan, but a severe downpour apparently kept some supporters away.

Thousands of voters gathered at the capitol grounds in Catbalogan, despite the rain, to hear Marcos speak.

Governor Michael Tan and Samar 2nd District Rep. Sharee Ann Tan were among the local officials present.

“I’d want to express my gratitude to the people of Samar for their warm welcome. I’m glad so many individuals are responding to our appeal for togetherness. “If I win, not only will we candidates triumph, but the entire Filipino nation will win,” Marcos told the Catbalogan throng.

His mother is from Leyte, a nearby province of Samar, and he claims to have the backing of Eastern Visayas voters.

A large audience gathered at Naval Gymnasium in Biliran on Friday night for a spectacular rally attended by prominent local authorities led by Governor Rogelio Espina and Lone District Rep. Gerry Espina.

Senator Ronald de la Rosa is representing Marcos’ running mate, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, who was unable to attend the rallies in Samar and Biliran.
