They were met by Ormoc city council bet Agapito “Yongyong” Pongos, Erap’s former staff when he was
Still President and Kananga vice mayor Macario Lumangtad.
Kanangahanons young and old alike practically mobbed Erap and shook his hands, who in turn showered the people with candies.
Along the streets more people braved the scorching heat to take a glimpse of him and his son Jinggoy, who are both movie idols.
Each of the candidates gave their speeches and indorsed administration candidates Mayor Elmer “Eming” Codilla and his brother congressional bet Winnie Codilla for the local candidates. Mayor Eming though was not present because he was in Manila for an official business.
Erap’s party has no candidates in the locality.
After an hour Erap and his party left for Biliran.
