A prayer rally against the ongoing people's initiative on Charter change (Cha-cha) is set to take place on January 28, 2024, at the San Pedro Square in San Pedro Street, Davao City. Third District Councilor Conrado C. Baluran, along with concerned citizens, members of the academe, and barangay officials, is organizing the event, titled “One Nation, One Opposition”, as a nationwide campaign. The rally aims to unite Filipino people against the alleged deception associated with the Cha-cha initiative. Baluran emphasized that the issue is not about the Dutertes but rather the alleged deception used to garner support, including monetary compensation and the use of the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) program. The rally is expected to draw 50,000 participants from various regions in the country. In preparation for the rally, the 20th City Council approved the closure of several roads connected to San Pedro Square. Baluran clarified that while the roads will not be fully closed, one lane will only be passable to vehicles leading up to the event. However, the affected roads will be fully closed during the day of the rally. The story also highlights previous demonstrations in Calinan District expressing disapproval of the disguised People's Initiative for Charter change. Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte denounced the alleged cash-for-signature scheme, and Congressmen Paolo “Pulong” Duterte and Isidro Ungab declared their opposition to the initiative, alleging the involvement of Pwersa ng Bayaning Atleta (PBA) Partylist officials in the signature campaign. The event is expected to draw significant attention and participation, with key figures expressing their opposition to the alleged deceptive tactics associated with the Cha-cha initiative.
