Xavier Jesus Romualdo shot back and said they were just being blamed to hide the low number of people who attended the rally. “Cheap excuse just because they can’t produce a huge turnout,” he <a href="https://twitter.com/xjromualdo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">tweeted</a>. In a series of tweets, Romualdo described the mayor’s supporters as “Dutertrolls who are incredibly lame.” Later on, however, Romualdo tweeted he won’t bother with the attacks on his family anymore. “Looks like the Dutertrolls got upset with how i trolled them back. Fine. I’ll just ignore from now on,” he tweeted. In a text message to <a href="http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/560161/news/nation/duterte-camp-claims-being-barred-from-holding-rally-in-camiguin">GMA News</a>,  Romualdo — while again denying the claims of sabotage — downplayed the ‘warlordism’ tag heaped by Rodrigo Duterte on his family and said locals were very much free to campaign and vote for anyone they want. “I heard about that. Not true. People in Camiguin are free to campaign for the candidates they support,” he said. “I believe they are just saying these malicious things because they couldn’t produce a big crowd for Mayor Duterte, who really isn’t very popular in Camiguin.” Xavier Jesus’ father, Jurdin Jesus, is the governor of Camiguin while his mother, Ma. Luisa, is the mayor of Mambajao. According to Jurding Jesus’ pro-Duterte <a href="http://kickerdaily.com/pro-duterte-romualdo-family-member-confirms-his-clan-tried-sabotaging-camiguin-rally/">brother </a>Noordin Efigenio, it was indeed their family who tried to suppress the mayor’s sortie by cutting off the power supply and conducting medical missions on the day of the rally. <a href="http://kickerdaily.com/xj-romualdo-blasts-dutertrolls-says-sabotage-charges-a-cheap-excuse-for-low-turnout-at-rally/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a>
