INC endorses BBM-Sara

The Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) has officially endorsed the tandem of presidential candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and vice presidential bet Sara Duterte-Carpio.

The endorsement was confirmed in a NET 25 newscast on Tuesday evening, May 3.

In a statement, Marcos thanked the INC for its endorsement and vowed that the tandem will work for unity among the people.

“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,” he said.

“Ang pagpili sa amin ni Inday Sara Duterte bilang mga kandidato na kanilang sinusuportahan sa pagka-presidente at bise presidente sa darating na halalan ay isang malaking karangalan na may kaakibat na hamong nakatuon sa aming kakayahang mapag-isa ang bansa … mapagbuklod ang mga Pilipino … at maitawid and sambayanan sa krisis na dulot ng pandemya,” he added.

Aside from Marcos Jr. and Duterte, INC also included in its endorsements the candidacy for senator of former Vice President Jejomar Binay, Taguig Representative Alan Peter Cayetano, ex-Philippine National Police Chief Guillermo Eleazar, and Sorsogon Governor Chiz Escudero.

Former senators Jinggoy Estrada and JV Ejercito, reelectionists Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, Senator Miguel Zubiri, and Senator Joel Villanueva, as well as Antique Representative Loren Legarda, Robin Padilla, and former Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar were also endorsed. AG – gb
