John Castriciones becomes 4th bet in Isko Moreno senatorial slate
Former Agrarian Reform Secretary John Castriciones has been added to the senatorial slate of presidential candidate Isko Moreno, as confirmed by Aksyon Demokratiko chairman Ernest Ramel.
Castriciones is the fourth senatorial aspirant under Moreno's banner, joining Samira Gutoc, Jopet Sison, and Carl Balita.
He recently joined Moreno and his campaign sorties in Mindanao.
Castriciones leads the Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte-National Executive Coordinating Committee (MRRD-NECC), a volunteer group that supported President Duterte in 2016 and now backs Moreno for president in 2022.
Despite supporting Moreno's presidential bid, Castriciones is not a member of Moreno's party, Aksyon Demokratiko, and has publicly declared support for the vice-presidential bid of Sara Duterte.
Ramel stated that Castriciones's endorsement by the MRRD-NECC was a significant factor in his inclusion, and that Castriciones brings integrity, dynamism, progressiveness, and experience to their group.
