The miting de avance of the Leni Robredo-Kiko Pangilinan tandem and Bongbong Marcos-Sara Duterte duo were reported to have attracted at least a million supporters each in Makati and Paranaque, respectively, on Saturday night, May 7, 2022.

And the grueling three-month election campaign couldn’t have ended any better as both sides geared up for the May 9, 2022 elections with overwhelming support from their followers.

Meanwhile, election-related violence have been reported in Ilocos Sur and Cebu.

These are among the top stories this Sunday morning, May 8, 2022.
