Davao City mayoralty aspirant Atty. Karlo Nograles received a warm and overwhelming show of support from thousands of residents during his barangay visitation at GSIS Gym, Matina Crossing, on the afternoon of February 19.

The massive turnout directly contradicted recent survey results suggesting Nograles had little backing among Davaoeños. His supporters, undeterred by the numbers, emphasized that while surveys may tell one story, the real sentiment on the ground is reflected in the enthusiastic crowds attending his events.

Nograles, a former three-term congressman of the first district, expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support he has been receiving in every barangay he visits. Residents at the event pledged their full backing for his candidacy, reinforcing his momentum heading into the 2025 elections.

As the campaign season heats up, the strong presence of Nograles’ supporters continues to challenge narratives set by early surveys, proving that the real pulse of the people is best seen in their actions, not just in numbers.
