Marcos allies in Mindanao unfazed by RoSa launch and Alvarez’ endorsement of Leni ThisIsOurMindanao
DAVAO CITY – South Cotabato Governor Reynaldo Tamayo is confident that presidential candidate Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will maintain his lead in Mindanao despite Monday’s launching in Cagayan de Oro of RoSa Mindanao for the tandem Leni Robredo for President and Sara Duterte for Vice President and despite Robredo’s endorsement by former Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez and his Partido Reporma on Thursday.
In a videotaped message, Mayor Duterte said she is aware that many want to see her with another presidential candidate and she takes that “as a sign of confidence in me as a leader .. but I am a person, a woman, a leader who values commitment and word of honor. I am running for the position of Vice President and my President is BongBong Marcos.
The resolution endorsing Marcos was signed by 13 members of its National Executive Committee, including the President’s long-time aide, Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go. But party Vice President for the Visayas, Ben Evardone, did not sign the resolution. He had earlier endorsed Robredo for President.
Senator Aquilino Pimentel, chair of the “original PDP Laban” founded by his father, the late Senator Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel of Cagayan de Oro City, said the endorsement of Marcos by the Cusi wing merely “manifested that they are total strangers to PDP LABAN. They don’t even acknowledge that PDP LABAN was established to oppose the Marcos dictatorship.”
Robredo on the other hand got the support of 15% of the country’s registered voters, with 18% in the NCR, 16% in BL, 19% in the Visayas, 5% in Mindanao, 17% in Class C, 14% in Class D and 13% in Class E. The February survey was conducted on February 18 to 23. The Robredo tandem’s first sortie in Mindanao since the official campaign period for national candidates started on February 8 was in Northern Mindanao, on February 22 and 23.
