The day’s activities kicked off early in Davao City, where a motorcade departed from Freedom Park along Roxas Street at dawn. Hundreds of participants assembled between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., wearing green and displaying ribbons as part of the campaign dubbed “Tie Green Ribbons: Tie the Knot of Hope.”
Organizers said the initiative is intended to symbolize solidarity among Filipinos from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, emphasizing unity and resilience amid national challenges. Vehicles joined the convoy bearing green accents, while supporters along the route waved ribbons and flags in support.
Beyond Davao City, organizers encouraged Filipinos nationwide to participate by tying green ribbons in visible places, wearing green throughout the day, and sharing messages of hope on social media. The movement’s message framed March 1 as “a declaration of faith in our future,” calling on citizens to express unity through simple, visible acts.
Hashtags circulating online included #GreenRiseActionAndHopeFor2028, #TapangAtMalasakit, and #PresidentSaraDuterte, reflecting the political undertones of the gathering and its forward-looking focus toward the 2028 elections, with supporters expressing backing for VP Sara Duterte.
Organizers said similar ribbon-tying and solidarity activities were expected in various cities and towns throughout the day, underscoring what they described as a growing grassroots movement centered on hope, unity, and national resolve.
