Campaign Trail: Where the candidates are, March 28 to April 3

MANILA, Philippines – After having rested – and regrouped – during the Holy Week, candidates for national positions are back on a busier-than-usual campaign trail – the local hustings having started before Easter. 

This week, we expect presidential and vice presidential candidates, even their senatorial slates, to join the proclamation rallies of their local allies.

Here are the schedules of national candidates for the week of March 28 to April 3:
