After the historical landslide vote in favor of Rody Duterte, Sonny Dizon, businessman and owner of the Crocodile Park announced that there will be a “Rody Thanksgiving Party” at Crocodile Park ground on June 4,2016 from 1pm to 1am.
“Sara says change the name from Victory Party to Rody’s Thanksgiving Party because it’s Godly” Dizon said on a facebook post.
The president-elect of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, celebrates Saturday his victory in the presidential election with festivities in the city of Davao. Police on Sunday said at least half a million people attended the thanksgiving party.
Close to 600 artists from all over the country have gone to the southern Philippines city of Davao to take part in the “One Love, One Nation” festivities, which began at 1:00 p.m. and will go on until sunrise Sunday.
Additional security for the event will be provided by some 4,000 agents who have closed off air space around the park.
Duterte has become one of the most popular figures in the Philippines by keeping his distance from the political elite and by emphasizing his humble beginnings, while promising to wipe out crime and corruption in the country in six months.
“Digong,” as he is known in the Philippines, is the first president from Mindanao, the southern region of the Philippines, and won the confidence of many voters with his achievement of changing Davao from one of the country’s most dangerous cities to one of the safest.
