CamSur mayor speaks out; denies backing Marcos presidency
Pamplona Mayor Ronaldo Franco and Milaor Mayor Anthony Reyes denied supporting presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., despite claims from the Marcos camp.
The mayors clarified that their attendance at a meeting with Marcos was not an endorsement, as they were invited by League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP) president Luis "Chavit" Singson.
Sipocot Mayor Tomas Bocago also denied backing Marcos Jr.'s presidential bid, reaffirming his support for Vice President Leni Robredo.
Bocago cited Robredo's proven competence, especially during the pandemic, and expressed admiration for her late husband, Jesse Robredo, whose contributions shaped his political principles.
Franco and Reyes also affirmed their continued support for Vice President Leni Robredo.
The Marcos camp had previously claimed that 11 mayors from Robredo's home province met with Marcos and expressed support for his presidential bid.
