“Biyaheng DU30” 30-day caravan is an activity led by Mayor Duterte’s former wife Elizabeth Zimmerman, who is a stage 3 cancer patient. Madam Zimmerman, decided to stop her radiation session to come out and help his daughter and son to campaign for his former husband.
According to her, she wants to meet her fellow Filipinos and answer questions about Mayor Duterte. She will also visit different places in the Philippines including his birthplace, Hilongos, Leyte and Tuburan, Cebu.
When she was asked why she decided to help and why now? She said, “I wanted to help him because he is still part of my family, he is the father of my children. We may be annulled in court but we were also married in the church and the Catholic church never anulled our marriage. I wanted to complete at least seventeen radiation sessions before stopping the treatment and go out to campaign.”

Elizabeth has 16 more radiation sessions to complete the 33 sessions mandated by her doctor when she comes back from the one month caravan. Elizabeth is joined by her daughter Sara and her grandchildren Shark, Stingray and Bella. The caravan is intended to go around Visayas and Mindanao to thank the supporters and convince the undecided and convert those who are unsure who to trust, choose, and vote for the right candidate. Some of their activities will be giving out of handbills and distribution of campaign paraphernalia.
