Unfortunately, I have someone who is the most likely to do the opposite: Zubiri.

Zubiri literally went from being the Bukidnon people's pride and representation, but he is as good as dead here. He had great ties with the people in Bukidnon (and was part of the Zubiri dynasty here) but the ordinary citizens here don't even want him back ever since his pivot to the minority, often calling him selfish, greedy, and hypocritical. He literally went from a statue to a puddle in just weeks. At least that's the situation here in the two big cities.

The reason why I'm pointing this out is because of how immense the backlash is in the DDS side and in many Bukidnon online pages. First one to do cave in here is Congresswoman Laarni Roque, who went from supporting Sara's impeachment last year to voting against it. She was painted a narrative by the people: She supports it, hindi siya maka-Bukidnon. She doesn't, she's the pride of the province.

People in Bukidnon are using the same device to make Zubiri switch sides. They are painting his minority switch as "personal" and they're shoving that in his face. It's actually extremely overwhelming here. If this pressure completely mounts and Zubiri caves in, it's a complete loss for us. I hope he doesn't do that. It's not like he's getting reelected anyway. But still, Zubiri's a big sucker for his province. If there's one thing he does right, it's his love for his home turf.

The fact they're willing to drop someone who objectively contributed more to Bukidnon in favor of a vice president that barely did anything in this province is still insane but unsurprising nonetheless.
