Hakbang ng Maisug (lit. 'Step forward of the brave') is a Filipino organization, only started as a peace rally movement supporting Rodrigo and Sara Duterte. Also, it condemns the governance of Dutertes' former ally President Bongbong Marcos.
Rallies
[edit]Additional nationwide protests, were held in Dumaguete,[1] Tagum,[2] and Angeles[3] by Duterte and Quiboloy's supporters, who voiced their grievances against the Marcos administration. Particularly among these grievances included their opposition to proposed constitutional amendments[2] and to the increased US military presence in the country,[4] as well as denouncement of perceived censorship under the administration.[5] In one of the rallies, Duterte notably accused Marcos of plotting to extend his term beyond the current term limit of the Constitution and of being a drug addict, to which Marcos responded by alleging Duterte's previous use of fentanyl as painkiller impaired his judgment;[6] Duterte later dared Marcos to undergo a drug test with him at Luneta Park.[6]
Frustrated on the administration's use of taxpayers' money,[7] Duterte initially revived calls advocated by former House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez for Mindanao to secede from the Philippines;[8][9] his calls drew disapproval from several lawmakers and former Muslim rebels,[10] prompting Duterte to later retract his calls, saying he only wanted "a better deal for Mindanao".[11] Despite success in holding some rallies, a few suffered setbacks and cancellations after the rally venues were allegedly blocked by the Marcos administration,[12] drawing condemnation from Duterte and his allies.[13][5] Despite his criticisms against Marcos, Duterte clarified the prayer rallies were not meant to overthrow the administration[5] but warned Marcos of extending his six-year term, reminding Marcos of his father's fate.[14]
