Former Sen. Bongbong Marcos Gets Support of INC
BONGBONG MARCOS – The Partido Federal ng Pilipinas standard-bearer broke his silence on the endorsement of Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) of his presidential bid.
The Elections 2022 in the Philippines are happening five days from now. Both local and national polls are set to be held and it will be an automated election utilizing the Smartmatic machines. Based on the previous release of the Commission on Elections (Comelec), 10 names remain on the official ballot for the presidential race.
One of the presidential candidates in the upcoming election is former Senator Bongbong Marcos. He is the standard-bearer of Partido Federal ng Pilipinas. Based on the Pulse Asia survey, Marcos Jr. leads the presidential race.
The presidential bid of the former Senator is backed by several big political parties in the Philippines. A lot of government officials also support his candidacy.
Recently, religious group Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) announced its support for the presidential bid of former Sen. Bongbong Marcos and the vice-presidential bid of presidential daughter and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio.
Marcos Jr. broke his silence on the INC endorsement of the BBM-Sara bid. Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, the former Senator expressed his and his family’s gladness and gratitude over the endorsement of the religious group. According to him, it is a huge honor for him and Mayor Inday Sara that comes with the challenge to their capabilities to unite the Filipinos and get the country past the crisis caused by the pandemic.
“Ako po at ang aking pamilya, sampu ng buong alyansang nakapaloob sa UniTeam, ay labis na nagagalak at buong pusong nagpapasalamat sa suportang inihayag ng kapatirang Iglesia Ni Cristo, sa pangunguna ng kanilang Tagapamahalang Pangkalahatan Kapatid Eduardo V. Manalo,“ the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas standard-bearer said.
In 2016, the INC also supported Marcos Jr. in his vice presidential bid but he lost the race. Outgoing Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte was the presidential bet of the religious group then.
