Jalosjos backs Poe, Chiz

Senator Grace Poe’s presidential declaration may divide the ruling Liberal Party (LP), with her expected running mate Sen.

Poe stressed that the public should elect a leader that could be trusted and has a proven track record. “With the grace of God and the Blessed Mother, I humbly offer myself to the mission of serving as your vice president… as the vice president of our country”, Escudero said.

Cecille Ongpauco was just among the family member of the actress, who came to the event to express their support for Escudero. He then served as senator in 2007 and was re-elected in 2013 for another six-year term ending in 2019.

“Nothing is so new with the platform presented by Senator Poe”.

But even without an official party stand, Aggabao said the party would leave it up to Poe and Escudero to firm up the line-up.

He underscored Poe’s promise to “hold the corrupt accountable” be they “friend or foe”, and heed “farmers” “longing for land to till.’ We hope this means pursuing development in the rural areas through genuine land reform”. “It is unfair to make the more than 100 million Filipinos believe that solving the country’s challenges is as simple as putting together 20 bullet points of promises”, Yacap party-list Representative Carol Lopez said, referring to the vision of government Poe presented Wednesday.

The NPC had three senatorial candidates so far: Sen. And we should be loyal not only to liberals, nationalists, or other party members, but to every Filipino.

Poe is said to be backed by the Nationalist People’s Coalition, which supported her father’s presidential bid in 2004.

Manila: Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero has declared his intention to run as vice presidential running mate to Senator Grace Poe, a move that did not come as a surprise to watchers of Philippines political scene.

According to Aggabao, the NPC was still in talks with other parties, such as the Nacionalista and the National Unity Party.

Former Zamboanga del Norte representative Romeo Jalosjos said he would campaign for Poe and Escudero.

“In my province, we are declaring the tandem of Chiz and Grace”, said Jalosjos.
