KBL Baguio-Benguet chapter announces shift to Mayor Isko
Leaders of the Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL) in Baguio City and Benguet province have withdrawn their support for presidential candidate Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The provincial chairperson, Bernard Ellamil, announced their endorsement of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno as their new presidential bet.
Ellamil and nine district coordinators resigned from the KBL, claiming they could influence approximately 3,000 followers to shift their votes to Moreno.
Ellamil cited Moreno's perceived faster action and proven accomplishments as key reasons for their decision.
However, the national leadership of KBL does not support this move, and KBL officials running for office are free to choose their own presidential candidate.
Local KBL leaders also mentioned that the Marcos camp failed to provide promised allowances, despite their efforts in promoting Marcos Jr. since September of the previous year.
