CARCAR, April 25 (Philippines Daily Inquirer/ANN): The “silent majority” being touted by Aksyon Demokratiko standard bearer Isko Moreno Domagoso, who were present in his campaign sorties, was in full force again with about 65,000 people attending the “Grand Iskoncert-Rally” here on Sunday night (April 24).
Moreno was not able to attend the Carcar grand rally but the presence of his actor-son Joaquin Domagoso and entertainer Mocha Uson of the Mothers for Change (MoCha) Party-list was enough to keep the crowd of 65,000 electrified to stay until the end of the concert.
The crowd was composed mostly of youth supporters and ordinary people who converged in front of the new Carcar Coliseum located at the back of the new city hall to attend the four-hour concert dubbed “Carcar Bilis Kilos: Iskoncert Rally Yorme Isko.”
“Purely local entertainers were the ones who performed in the concert and Joaquin Domagoso, and the tiktokers for Isko. There was no talent fee. All who performed were doing an act of volunteerism.
"There were no T-shirts given and the people who attended did so on their own accord,” said event organiser Winley Dela Fuente.
Iskoncert performers included the Range 999, Cookies, J-Blaque, Makii/RKTEQ, Ruzz/Furio, Kyle Zagado, Freshe/Christine, and Father and Sons. DJs Jhsss, Shanyl Hofer and Ram Monsanto, who also graced the concert-rally to render a song or two.
Carcar City Police Station chief Colonel Erdy Cabagnot said the crowd in the concert-rally was estimated to have reached more than 65,000 at its peak. No untoward incidents were reported.
Carcar City’s 65,000 crowd topped the two previous concert-rallies in Cebu City last April 7 and 8.
The concert events capped Moreno’s barnstorming of the Cebu province with a mix of motorcades and town hall meetings. - Philippines Daily Inquirer/ANN
