At yesterday's meetings in Caloocan, Pasay, Manila and Muntinlupa, various area committees were firmed up for the massive information drive to promote the advocacy of President Rodrigio Duterte for a shift to a federal government system.

Coquilla said the NCR Speaker's Bureau is ready to discuss Federalism during this campaign composed of Rose Laya, Eduardo Manalo, Fleurdeliz Adaya, Rodulfo Cada and Silverio Purificacion.

The efforts in the capital is in tandem with the sustained campaign in the countryside, according to Hugpong Federal Chairman Celso Tizon, who was in Dumingag, Zamboanga del Sur on Sunday.

He said these past weeks, HFMP held various Regional and Provincial-level conventions in Caraga and Cordillera, and Zamboanga del Sur, Lanao del Norte, Bukidnon, Negros Occidental, Agusan del Sur, Agusan del Norte, Surigao del Norte and Negros Oriental, among other areas.

He expressed gratitude to Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte for gracing the Lanao del Norte event and to National Convenor Peter Lavina for attending the Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental summits.

The NCR campaign Tizon said is essential as the capital region plays a pivotal role being the center of the current unitary system that it intends to dismantle and change into a decentralized Federal set-up.

He said Federalism will unleash the powers of the regions to develop and contribute to the whole country's progress.
