Then-presidential candidate Antonio Trillanes had made the attack ad against his rival, then-Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte which was aired on Thursday night of May 5, 2016 on ABS-CBN, four days before the presidential election.[1] There are claims of radio version of the advertisement, though no known recordings exist.
Background
The 2016 presidential campaign of Rodrigo Duterte was announced on November 21, 2015.[2] He was eventually elected President of the Philippines. Duterte's positions was seen to have resonated with older, working class Filipinos, particularly his promise to eliminate the wide-scale drug menace of the country and his harsh stances on crime in Davao City, which he served for more than 22 years, and corruption. Duterte's campaign also emphasized an anti-establishment tone, accusing political elites based in Manila of not doing much to solve problems in a move that was described as populist.
